Whether we realize it or not, our husbands experience spiritual battles every day. Stressors relating to work, finances, and his confidence may weigh heavily on his mind. For this reason, husbands need the prayers of their wives.

A wife can pray for her husband in a way no one else can because she is closest to him. She has a front row seat to his strengths and weaknesses. In prayer, a wife can petition her Heavenly Father on behalf of her husband.

This is good news! If there is an area of your husband’s life that seems to have him stuck, this is a great opportunity to pray for him. God’s word tells us, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).

Prayer is one of the greatest gifts a wife can give her husband. She has the privilege of interceding on his behalf and asking God to do what her words cannot. Although he may never communicate it, this is one of his greatest needs and it only requires time and a sincere heart. By loving him in this way we submit our will to God and trust that He will do great things in his life.
