50+ Bible Verses to Pray Over Your Husband | My Joy in Chaos (2023)

The Bible is the living, breathing Word of God and it’s a powerful tool that we can use in our prayer life. I’ve put together this list for you with more than fifty Bible verses to pray over your husband. Cover your husband with God’s Word and watch the power in action.

How do you pray for the people and relationships in your life? We pray over our marriage every night and we each pray for each other, but these are regular prayers with our own words. Nothing wrong with that at all, but do you ever pray using scripture?

Full disclosure: It’s not a practice I do often, but it’s one I want to get better at. I felt that familiar nudge when I read another article about prayer and it mentioned praying scripture. I read a bit more about it and decided I wanted to find scripture to pray over both Micah and the kids. I searched and searched and while there are hundreds, if not thousands of verses you can use as prayers, I wanted to pull out a manageable number.

I started with about twenty verses but as I searched I came across more and more that really spoke to me and I knew I needed to expand my list. As I wrote each verse as a prayer I inserted Micah’s name and could feel the power these prayers can have. God’s Word is living and active – it’s no wonder I could sense the Spirit moving in me!
