25 Ways To Pray for Your Future Husband {Part 2}

Here is the continuation of the list, “25 Ways To Pray For Your Future Husband”!   I hope this proves to be a helpful list to guide you as you pray for your Mr. Right.  I know creating this list has greatly encouraged me to pray to more practically and specifically for my special guy.

Did you miss the first half of the list?  You can go back and read it here.

13.)  Pray that his heart would be one with a keen desire to serve others.

“And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”  -Mark 9:35 {NASB}

14.)  Pray that materialism and idols would not creep into His life but that Christ would be His one God.

“You shall have no other gods before me.”  -Exodus 20:3 {ESV}

15.)  Pray that joy, not complaint, would shine from his life even in the mist of trial and great pain.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.”  -Philippians 4:4 {ESV}

16.)  Pray that he will gain a true understanding of Love so that he may love others (God, others, you) well.

“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails..”  -1 Corinthians 13:4-8a {NASB}

17.)  Pray that he would have compassion for the lost and a love for sharing the Gospel.

“And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”  -Mark 16:5 {ESV}

18.)  Pray that he would begin, even now, making wise finical decisions that will benefit his future family for years to come.

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”  -1 Timothy 5:8 {NASB}

19.)  Pray that humility would mark his life; that pride would die daily.

 “But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”  -James 4:6 {NASB}

20.) Pray that he would work with diligence and quality at any task the Lord sets before him.

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might….”  -Ecclesiastes 9:10 {NASB}

21.)  Pray that he would be so driven by the Spirit, that Jesus would overflow into every area of his life.

“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father.”  -Ephesians 5:18-20 {NASB}

22.)  Pray that he would understand that biblical authority is a good thing and that he would willingly submit himself to the authorities in his life.

“Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.”  -Hebrews 13:17 {ESV}

23.)  Pray that he would endure suffering like a good solder, knowing that his Lord suffered much without sin.

“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you….”  -John 15:20 {NASB} 

24.)  Pray that he would fight for truth and most of all Christ.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.”  -Ephesians 6:10-11 {NASB}

25.)  Pray that he will have an abundance of godly, sharpening influences in his life.  

“Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.”  -Proverbs 27:17 {NASB}
