Your husband carries a lot. He carries his work, his worries, his family, and often things he never says out loud.
One of the most loving things you can do for him is to pray God’s Word over his life. The Bible is full of promises for men, and every one of them is true for the man you married.
These Bible verses for your husband are grouped by what he may need most right now: protection, strength, success at work, wisdom, peace, and love. Under each verse you will find a short note on what it means and a simple prayer you can pray over him today. If you want even more, see our prayers for my husband.
How to Pray These Verses Over Your Husband
You do not need fancy words. Here are a few simple ways to start:
- Put his name in the verse. Read it out loud and use his name wherever it says “you” or “him.”
- Pick one verse a week. Write it on a sticky note and pray it every time you see it.
- Pray what he needs most. If he is stressed, start with the peace verses. If he is facing a big decision, start with wisdom.
- Share one with him. A verse sent in a text can encourage him more than you know.
