A Prayer for my Future Husband

Lord God our Father, your Word declares that if I delight myself in You

—if I enjoy and seek Your pleasure above mine

—You'll give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). 

Desiring a husband is neither evil nor selfish because marriage is honourable (Hebrews 13:4). 

At the beginning of creation, You proclaimed, 

"It is not good that man should be alone" 

and then you created Eve to be a suitable partner for Adam (Genesis 2:18). 

In the name of Jesus, I ask that You would protect the husband

—a suitable partner—
You have chosen for me. 

Because the covenant of marriage is sacred (Mark 10:9), 

I ask for a man of God. 

Please give me a husband whose love for me is only outmatched by his love for you; 

a man who will cherish me and build me up (Proverbs 31:28); 

a man who will honour me (I Peter 3:7) 
and our marriage vows; 

a man who will be a good father and provider; 

a man whom I will be attracted to physically, emotionally, and spiritually; 

a man who will love me as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). 

Keep me from attaching myself to another man out of desperation. 

I will not settle for a relationship that's second best, convenient, 

or one that feeds my insecurities. 

Guard my purity and give me the patience to wait. 

And when I meet him, confirm to me that he is the one. 

Release from me the baggage of past relationships, 

and prepare me for the man You have chosen to be my husband. 

Free me from any hindrances to a healthy and Godly marriage: 

insecurities, habitual sins, selfishness, and emotional hurts. 

Dispel my unrealistic expectations that set me up for disappointment. 

I place my trust in You rather than my partner. 

In this period of waiting, I will look to You alone to be my companion 
and best friend. 

You are the one who redeems my life from the pit, 

who crowns me with love and compassion, 

who satisfies my desires with good things (Psalm 103:4-5). 

I will not be anxious, but as I present my requests to you, 

flood me with the peace that surpasses all understanding 

so my heart and my mind are guarded in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6,7). 

In this request, I commit myself to trust You and do good, 

to dwell in the land and feed on Your faithfulness. 

I commit my way to You and trust that You will bring it to pass (Psalm 37:35). 
This I ask in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Amen.
