You shall not labour in vain because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional: PRAYERS POINTS OF A PRAYING HUSBAND
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. '
A marriage is as strong as the prayer of faith backing it up. Here are some prayer models for a praying husband.
1. THANKSGIVING
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the precious gift of my wife and children. Your Word says that children are a heritage from You and a reward (Psalm 127:3). I bless You for entrusting me with the responsibility of leading, protecting, and nurturing them. Forgive me for the times I have taken them for granted. Help me always to honor You with gratitude, recognizing that every good and perfect gift comes from You. Let thanksgiving flow continually from my lips and keep my home filled with Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Psalm 127:3 – “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.”
2. HOLINESS
Lord, You desire men everywhere to lift holy hands in prayer without anger or disputing (1 Timothy 2:8). Cleanse me from every hidden sin, bitterness, and pride. Purify my thoughts, my speech, and my actions. Let holiness be the foundation of my leadership at home and my worship in Your presence. May my life inspire my wife and children to pursue righteousness. Help me to walk in integrity and faithfulness so that my prayers are not hindered. Keep me blameless until the coming of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
1 Timothy 2:8 – “Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”
3. INTIMACY WITH GOD
Father, draw me closer to You every day in prayer and in the study of Your Word. Guard my heart from distractions and lukewarmness. Teach me to abide in You so that my life becomes fruitful and pleasing to You. May my intimacy with You overflow into my marriage, shaping me into a godly husband and father. Let my children see in me an example of devotion and reverence to God. I long to walk with You as Enoch did, faithfully and consistently. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
James 4:8 – “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
4. HEADSHIP
Lord, You have called me to lead my home as Christ leads the church (Ephesians 5:23). Grant me wisdom, humility, and discernment to make godly decisions. Help me to lead not with pride or harshness but with sacrificial love and gentleness. Let my leadership be guided by prayer and Your Word. May I inspire my wife and children to follow You wholeheartedly. Remove confusion and strife from our home, and establish peace and order under Your authority. Make me a servant-leader who glorifies Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Ephesians 5:23 – “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”
PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and zeal for prayer .
