Join me in a month of prayer for the man God is preparing for you!
Below are 30 ways to pray for your future husband. Whether you know him already or have yet to discover him, here are several ways to begin praying for him. Not only have I included ways to pray for him but I included things to strengthen these qualities within yourself as well. Enjoy!
Day 1: Pray for someone to encourage him today.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
As you are praying this prayer for your future man, here is a challenge for you: Who can you encourage today? Give someone special in your life a phone call to see how they have been or thank someone for something they have done for you recently.
Day 2: Pray for oneness to keep your unity in faith and (future) marriage as God created it.
Ephesians 5 (Read whole chapter) v. 31-32: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh, This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church.”
Oneness- the state of being united or whole, being one in number
Michael Todd explained oneness in his book "Relationship Goals" like this:
" He wanted it to be one God, one man, one women, one marriage, one sex partner, one flesh, one lifetime to create one picture. It's a whole lot simpler, stabler, and more beautiful than all the crazy, messed-up ways people do relationships in our culture. (Below)
Also, Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” The three strands are a man, a women, and God. 🔼 Notice in a triangle with God at the top, all the sides are the same, not one is better than the other but they are equal. Husbands and wives are to equally be moving towards God, who is always at the top! 🏔
Day 3: Pray for him to have wisdom throughout the day. 🗣
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you praying for wisdom and guidance over my future husband today and for all the day’s to come. God you know his heart, give him strength to make the right choices and become the man you called him to be. Give him knowledge, understanding, and discernment for the future. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!! ✞ ✞ ✞
Pray for your own wisdom as well.😉
James 1:5
One verse, three versions, what version do you like the most?
NIV: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
MSG: If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get this help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it.
TPT: And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and he will give it! He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold over your failures but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.
Day 4: MAN OF PRAYER 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
I pray that my future husband would be a man of prayer. I pray that he continually understands the importance and necessity of prayer. I pray he comes to you in every struggle, challenge, and battle he may face.
1 John 5:14: This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he will hear us.
Here are a few tips on prayer life:
Pray a verse/chapter from the Bible over your life📖
P.U.S.H. Pray, Until, Something, Happens
Write down the things you want to pray📝
Stay focused on who you are talking to when you pray
Any prayer requests? Send them to me! I would love to pray for you!
Day 5: Pray for his confidence. 💪🏼 Pray that he stays confident in who he is, and never feels inadequate in his job of in his role as a husband or father. Pray for him to release any insecurity that he may have about himself. Pray he has confidence in his wife. 👰🏻
Jeremiah 17:7: But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
Proverbs 31: 11-12: Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
WOW this one is 🔑 !!!
Who can agree with me that there are things/ or days in your life when you are SOO confident? Then, there are things in your life/or day's when you are SOO insecure, not confident, and feel like you just aren’t as good as you thought you were? Well I believe this isn’t just a girl thing, this is something men feel too! Pray a BOLD prayer for both your future husband and yourself. Pray for consistent confidence! Girl, you were perfectly and wonderfully made! You are a daughter of a King every single day, every single moment! 👑👸🏼
Now, let me introduce you to my friend Stephanie May Wilson!!! She talks about confidence, friendships, singleness, faith, and dating. Check her out! Let me know if you have any questions. Also, please let me know if any of you have heard of her before, she’s pretty great! ❤️
Day 6: Pray that he takes the time to rejoice in the day, giving all the glory to God. ✞
1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.
I really want you all to meditate on this verse today. Read it over and over, think about it, and pray about it. What does this verse mean to you? What are you doing today to bring glory to God? How are you praising and worshiping him everyday? If you aren’t doing it how are you expecting your future husband to be🤭🤯
I am a firm believer in actions speak louder than words.
For the girls with lovers♥️:
Is he worshiping the Lord daily?
Is he encouraging you in your walk with God?
Is he bringing glory to God in the way he treats you in the relationship?
I totally want the best for your relationships girls!!! Sometimes you just need to ask yourself these big questions and be honest with yourself!)
For the girls with lovers they haven’t met yet♥️:
KEEP PRAYING FOR HIM. Pray that with all he does, he does it for the glory of God, not for ones own personal gain.
Day 7: Pray that he always find hope in a world that says there is none, and that he reaffirms hope in our Heavenly Father.🎚
Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. ⚓️
Hebrews 6 aligns with the Old Testament where God PROMISES Abraham that he would bless him and give him many descendants, after a lot of patience, Abraham received what God promised. Abraham had HOPE that the Lord’s promise was true.
Pray for a man like Abraham, a man who hopes in Jesus Christ & his promises. Jesus is our hope. We live in a fallen, broken, very imperfect world. How awesome is it that we can find our hope in Jesus Christ today and everyday, PRAISE THE LORD. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Day 8: Pray that he never goes through a day where he feels unloved or isolated.
1 John 4: 7-12
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
Whoa❕…now go back and read that again… heck read it out loud to yourself or read it really slowly
(There is so much importance in slowing yourself down and really focusing word for word on what the word of God is saying)
❌Today’s challenge❌: It may be uncomfortable and awkward but write a love letter/ note of encouragement to your future husband. Let him know that he is so loved by you and our Heavenly Father! Put it somewhere safe and secure, that is something special to save for the man you know was sent to you from God🧖!
You are so loved as well girly :)
Day 9: COMMUNICATION. 🗣
I pray that my future husband knows that he can always communicate with me about any topic good or bad. I pray that he responds with gentleness, kindness, and understanding in all situations. In return, help me to respond with patience, love, and compassion. Lord give us the strength to communicate well and forgive one another. 🙏🏼
James 1:19
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
💥I got some good stuff for you all today!💥This personality test is pretty well known. I think it is important to know how you are and why you do/say the things you do. This test helps you recognize things about yourself that you may not have recognized before! Check it out:
Enneagram Test💭
Feel free to share what you are and if you think it is accurate. I am a Type 2 kinda girl, I am a helper. I feel best about myself when I am meaningfully engaged with others and genuinely enjoy supporting others with attention and care…ACCURATE!💕 Message me separately if you want to chat more about this!!
I like how it tells you your flaws as well, one of mine is a fear of rejection and not recognizing my own emotional hurts. This is good to know about yourself so your significant also understands why you respond the way you do in different situations.
Day 10: Pray that he always has the willingness to serve with a servant’s heart.❤️
1 Peter 4:10⬇️
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
Galatians 5:13⬇️
You my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve on another humbly in love.
Question: What does it mean to serve others❔
Answer: To serve means to give without expecting anything in return. Serving is the active deed of love.
🔆Who are you serving today? Who do you do things for without expecting anything in return?🔆
Showing hospitality, doing the dishes/laundry for your family, participating in community service are just a few was to serve.
Serve God by spending quiet time alone with him, reading your bible daily, and worshipping him throughout the day. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
We get the opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father and those around us everyday. Today pray that your husband has a heart to serve others & God. 🌟
Day 11: Pray for his career and the role he plays among his work peers. Pray that he lives each day to it’s fullest potential and is diligent in all that he does. ⬇️
This one is so loaded I am having a hard time even finding the words so I made you a list with verses to pray over you and your future husband:⬇️
Hardwork ethic:
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. 🏋🏽
Motivation to do the best you can:
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who gives me strength. 💪🏼
Be an example to those you work with:
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.🌞
Career that provides for a family:
Ephesians 5 whole chapter
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord...For the husband is the head of the wife ....Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church…👨👩👧👦
Day 12: Pray for a less stressed day, and that it be filled with joy. ✨🌻
I’m calling this one the challenge overcomer. 💪🏼 Spend some time with God today talking to him about something you feel you are struggling with. Ask God to give you the strength to overcome your obstacles. THEN, pray that same prayer for you future husband. Whether you may know him or not ask God to help him breakthrough any struggle or stress that he may have in his life right now. ✝️💟
💡I learned just the other day that prayer is a sign of trusting in God. I challenge you to fully put your trust in the plans God has for you. Also, trust the Lord with your trials and difficulties.
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.
That is one of my favorite verses and such good one to remember in times of trouble. Bible memory is important ✅ Try to memorize this verse, or memorize your favorite verse and think about why that verse is special to you.💭
Day 13: Pray for his health, both mentally and physically.
MENTALLY: 🧠
Lord, I pray for your protection on my future husband’s mind. Shield him from the lies of the enemy. Help him to clearly discern between Your voice and any other. Give him strength to resist lying thoughts. I pray he will not entertain confusion, but live in clarity. He will not be tormented with impure, evil, negative, or sinful thoughts, but be transformed by the renewing of his mind.
Philippians 4: 8 👥
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things.
**THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT** Are you thinking about these things? ⬆️⬆️
PHYSICALLY: 💪🏼
I pray he would not fall to the temptation of food addictions or any other harmful addictions that are not honoring to You, but in view of Your great mercy.
Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God— this is your true and proper worship. 🌅
Day 14. Friendships with David.
Day 15: Pray for him to have patience in all he does. ☑️
I think we all could use some more patience, am I right?
Rate yourself: How patient are you?🚦
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
(1 is the worst, 10 is the most patience)
How can you be more patient?
A man of patience is such a blessing from God. Pray for a overwhelming flow of patience for your future husband. Also, pray for patience for yourself, I KNOW there are times when we all get impatient whether that’s in the grocery store, with our parents, when we drive etc. Slow down girl, Jesus was never in a hurry why should you be?
❤️Proverbs 15:18
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
❤️Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Day 16: Pray for him to be a good father to your children. 👨👩👧👦
Whether you desire to have children or not some day, the importance of a man with characteristics of a good father needs to resemble Our Father in heaven.
Promises of our Father (& much more):
♥️unconditional love- Reckless love (Cory Asbury)🎶
♥️watches over us- protection
♥️makes sacrifices to provide- Provider (Cade Thompson)🎶
♥️leadership-sets a good example
These qualities are the ones we should be looking for in the (potential) father of our children. This is something to strongly consider when you are in the dating stage of a relationship! 👥
Proverbs 22:6
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Girls, this verse is speaking deep into the men we should be praying for. Pray a BOLD & SPECIFIC prayer today that he is able to speak life and truth into your children and you! 🗯
Day 17: Temptations with Miz.
Day 18: Pray for him to take time to grow in his own relationship with God through prayer and Bible study. Pray that his faith stands firm no matter what comes. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
1 Corinthians 16:13 💙
Be on your guard; stand firm in faith; be courageous, be strong.
A little something I learned to help me understand a verse is to pick it apart word-for-word or chunk-by-chunk. 🙂
▫️Be on your guard—Be cautions, guard your heart from things that may be tempting to you to sin or trying to creep in and steal your peace✌🏼
▫️STAND FIRM in faith— When you stand firm you don’t let anything shake you, break you, or tear you apart from your faith 🔒
For your future husband, be praying that He is deeply rooted in his faith🌱. Pray for growth and breakthrough over his life. Pray that he has a strong, firm, and secure relationship with the Lord. Pray he is motivated to strengthen his relationship with God daily and that he chases after opportunities to learn more. Pray for this for yourself as well!
Day 19: Pray for him to be content with as little or as much in life. ✨
Contentness is HUGE! This is something our society/world struggles with. 🌎 We are such consumers. The world tells us the more you have and the more you do, the more you matter...and that's a LIE. 🤫 With God what you have is a blessing from Him, and the things you do are enough for Him. God gives you what you need. Our God is a God of simplicity. Little is more! ❤️
1 Timothy 6:6-12⬇️READ ALL⬇️
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Thats pretty clear to me…👀
Pray for contentment for both your life and your future husband's life today. Contentment comes from trusting God with the things you already have. 😇
Day 20: Pray for certain qualities in your future man, using the writing prompt below. ⬇️ I strongly encourage you to actually write down these things in a notebook, journal etc.🗒🖊
Now as we write about these characteristics in a man, we have to be careful to not make our list too long or too specific. Pray that you won’t settle for anything less than what you deserve today, and continue to have a open mind and heart so that God can surprise you with someone who is even better than you could have ever dreamed up on your own. 🙌🏼
James 1:7💡
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
The man God is molding, mending, and creating for you is a gift. He wants to give you the best, align your steps on his path for you, and (God willing) receive His gift! 🎁
--What are some qualities that you are really hoping to find in your future husband? Kindness, strength, courage, integrity? A sense of humor, a love for adventure, a passion for family? Spend some time making a list with God, and then pray that He'll help you meet someone with those qualities?--
Day 21: Pray for him to not be afraid to share the Gospel of Christ. ✝️
This one isn’t only for your future husband, I think this is something as Christ followers we all need to be better at. As Christians our mission is to share the love Jesus by accepting Jesus our hearts❤️, living according to His word📖, and making disciples🧍🏻♀️🧍🏼♂️🧍🏻.
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died on the cross and 3️⃣ days later He rose again saving us from our sins creating a gateway for us to live an eternal life with Him in heaven. We pray a prayer to invite the Holy Spirit into our lives, and ask for forgiveness from the God who saves. 💘
Today I encourage you to dive deeper!!
The Gospel Chapters: 📖
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
Matthew 16:15
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” 🌅
SELF EVALUATION: How are you doing with telling all creation of the good news that Jesus saves??? 🤯
Pray for courage and boldness to share the Gospel. Pray for knowledge and understanding about what the Gospel means to you in your life and that you are confident enough to share it with others. 🔊
GIRLS...let’s make heaven crowded!!!
Day 22: Pray that he recognizes his daily blessings and the blessing that he is to others.
“Count your blessings name them one by one🎵” (Does anyone recognize that?)
Blessings flow from the goodness of God. Often times we find ourselves pointing out the negative and dwelling on the worst possible outcome in any situation we may be in❌. I want to reassure you today that God already has it worked out. That thing you have been stressing about, crying about, overthinking etc. has already been take care of in the eyes of the Lord, all you have to do is obey. 💚
Deuteronomy 28:2
All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.
Say a prayer today about the blessings you recognize in your life. (I promise the list is longer than you may think📝.) Thank the Lord for all the great things you do have. Also, pray that God uses you in a way that you are a blessing to those around you. ❎2️⃣ Pray this a second time for the man God places in your life. 🙂
Day 23: Pray for his heart. Pray that the Lord is preparing a man with a loving and tender heart. ❤️😍
To go along with praying for his heart, I paired up the 5 love languages for us to dive into! ⬇️
The Love Languages🎉❤️
Words of Affirmation🗣- Ex. Spoken words, text messages, love letters
Quality Time👫- Ex. One-on-one time, dates, picnics, any time spent with them
Receiving Gifts🎁- Ex. random gifts of bought food, clothing, drinks etc.
Acts of Service👣- Ex. physically doing something for the significant other, doing dishes, preparing food, going somewhere for them/with them
Physical Touch🖐🏼- Ex. Touching each others bodies, dancing, hand hold, kissing, & more
1 Samuel 16:7
The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
These 5 different love languages are important to recognize in yourself and those around you. Today do some self-analyzing and think about the the love language you have or maybe the love language you want to improve upon your life more! 💞
Pray for your future husbands love language, and for the way he expresses it from the heart.💟
Day 24: Pray that he continually respects you.
1 Peter 3:7❕
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
💛As a significant other you should expect to be talked to and talked about in a respectful way. In a way that is honorable to one another. Be mindful of one anothers boundaries and privacy. He should treat you in a way that shows deep love and admiration. 💛
HOW TO DETERMINE RESPECT👥🤔
Are you TRUSTING eachother?
Are you COMMUNICATING well?
Are you ENCOURAGING one another?
Are you ACCEPTING one another’s differences?
Are you being an example to those around you?
If God is in your relationship it shouldn’t be hard or stressful. 🤯
How you spend your time in singleness will have effect on how you date. 🤩 The way you date will have an effect on your marriage. 👰🏻
Day 25: Pray that he recognizes his own personal talents and that he uses them to their fullest.✨
Read 1 Corinthians 12 & Romans 12📖
1 Corinthians 12:4
There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit distributes them.
God picked your spiritual gifts. Use your gifts, do not be jealous of others gifts, instead focus on the things you are capable of and grow in your gifted abilities.😁🌿
Say a prayer today to strengthen your best qualities and that you are able to use them to be a example of Christ. Pray that you and your husband both use the talents that God set in place for your life. 💕

There are so many topics that fall under this category. Today I made you a list with a verse to go with them!↙️
Gaining wealth- Proverbs 13:11:
Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. 🌱
Be honest. Be truthful. Be patient. Make thoughtful decisions. 💭
Get rid of greed- 1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from their faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
If there is any greed in your life, get it out! Is there any possession you are holding onto that you just cannot let go? Stop idolizing temporary things. ❌
Give, be generous 🤗-2 Corinthians 9:7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ♥️

You may not even know the people who are going to be your family yet! 🤯

This is who family is. 💁🏻♀️ Family are the people we lean on when times get tough and difficult. Pray that he has a family that supports you and encourages you when there are trials. Pray for his family to help you in your walk with the Lord. In those challenging season of life pray that you are being guided by family members who are pushing you towards Godly choices. 💡
Relationship builders are the people God called all of us to be! However, that does not mean we need to strive to be liked, but we must live in peace with all people whether that is family, friends, co-workers, colleagues etc.! ✌🏼
One more thing! ⚠️ Pray for healthy, safety, and protection over his family. ♥️
