Do you remember the first time you dressed up and pretended to be getting married? It’s something that many of us women long for, the beautiful wedding, the awesome guy, and the happily ever after.
We can spend hours pinning our favorite things we want for our wedding. There are endless hours of thinking about the guy we might find one day.
However, God wants us to trust Him for the future.
And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:10 ESV)
So we must also trust him for our future husband.

Help him to know what it feels like to sacrifice for you and to feel the joy that comes with that. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Lord, cause my future husband to work out his own salvation with fear and trembling. Help him to know that while he seeks you it is ultimately you who is working in him. As you work in him cast out the fears of this world and fill him with your love.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (1 John 4:18 ESV)

Help him to see his purpose in You. Lord, let him not be anxious about the future but trust you for it.
Thursday
Lord, when my future husband is anxious, help him turn to you in prayer. Teach him how to cry out to you in prayer for his own desires and for others.

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. (Proverbs 16:9 ESV)
Guard his heart and mind when he does go on dates, and give him strength to wait for me. Heavenly Father, I pray this through the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Saturday
Father, on Saturdays there is extra time to think. Help him to think only about what honors you.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8 ESV)

Sunday
Father, I pray you wake my husband up and give him the joy and excitement to go to church.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV)
I pray that you surround him with godly men that can teach him how to be a husband to me one day, but ultimately how to live in a way that honors you. I pray this in Jesus’ name Amen.
How To Pray For My Future Husband
First, remember that God is omnipresent, which means he is always present and not restrained by time. So he already knows if you will get married and to whom you will marry. This should give you confidence to come to Him as you pray for your future husband.
Second, God calls us to pray. He wants to hear from you. So just begin talking to God. Prayer is simply a conversation with God. However, remember who God is and come to him in reverence and a humble heart. He longs to have a relationship with you but it is important we do that in a way that honors Him.
Third, pray for your husband out of scripture, which means you need to open your Bible and start reading God’s word. This will be so good for your relationship with God because this is how He speaks to us. It will also help you pray for your husband because you are no longer just praying what you would like (tall, dark and handsome, or whatever you may like). You begin to pray for what God wants in your future husband.
You might pray that he loves God. This is one of the most important things that you can pray for because if he loves God then all of the following prayers will follow in your future husband’s life.
If you are getting into God’s word more, you will begin to love God’s word and want a husband that does too. So begin to pray that your husband will love God’s word. Also pray that he will not drift from God, but that he will become close to God.
You could pray that he loves you well. This is not a prayer for him to be romantic but rather look at what scripture says about how a husband should love a wife (Ephesians 5:25) and pray that he would have these qualities.
Other prayers you could pray for are his character traits such as his desire to be pure, lead well, and love others.
It doesn’t have to be a laid-out prayer, and it doesn’t have to be every day, but simply just start praying, getting into God’s word, and trusting God already has a great plan for you, you can rest in that.
Closing Thoughts
We truly hope that these prayers will give you the strength to wait patiently for your future husband. We hope that your parents will also pray with you and give you the courage you need.
As your trust in God becomes more strong, your faith will deepen and increase. You can trust that though His life you will find your future husband and we pray he reflects this light as you do!
