Do you have confidence when you’re praying for your husband?
I want to encourage you to trust the power of God’s Word and show your confidence in it by including it in your prayers for your husband.
I love finding Scripture that is applicable to whatever is on my mind. Sometimes, I think of a keyword about whatever my concern is and then I look it in a concordance to find a verse that relates. Other times, a verse may come to my remembrance and I search for it in various translations. I like to use BlueletterBible for both of these searches. Currently, I’m praying Ephesians 3:16 AMPC for my hubby:
May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
Praying Scripture
Have you prayed Scripture before? If so, how you confident did you feel about it?
Be encouraged… God said His Word would not return to Him void. So when you return His Word to Him by praying it and by confessing it aloud, you can have confidence that He not only hears you but He’s also putting appropriate action behind His Word.
In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do. – Isaiah 55:11 ERV
That’s right. From this know that I am watching over My word until it is accomplished. – Jeremiah 1:12 VOICE
We have such confidence in him that we are certain that he hears every request that is made in accord with his own plan. And since we know that he invariably gives his attention to our prayers, whatever they are about, we can be quite sure that our prayers will be answered. – 1 John 5:14-15 PHILLIPS
As you’re praying for your husband, have confidence in God’s Word being true for him.

Thank you for this. I’ve just learned how to effectively pray for him through a health battle. The prayer and proclamation was easy but the worry and concern was real. I have to learn that God has it all in his control. This was very timely! God bless!
You’re welcome Karla. I agree, the struggle with worry and concern is indeed real. But isn’t it wonderful that we can rest in Jesus having finished everything for us? I’m thankful that God gives us peace when we keep our minds stayed on Him!
