A Prayer for Husbands, by David Burrus

Prayer For Husbands:

Father God, we come before You today lifting up husbands everywhere. Lord, we thank you for the roles they carry, the burdens they bear, and the leadership they offer to their families. Father, we ask for mental clarity in every decision they face. Let their minds be sharp, their thoughts be guided by wisdom, and their hearts be attuned to Your voice. Help them to discern truth amidst confusion and to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and assurance.



We pray for peace of mind, Lord. Amidst the noise of responsibilities, pressures, and challenges, grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Calm the storms within them and remind them that they are never alone. Speak stillness to their minds when anxiety threatens to overwhelm.

Father, give them focus. Help them to stay aligned with their purpose, their values, and their families. Remove distractions that pull them away from their priorities and give them the discipline to pursue what truly matters. Teach them to set their eyes on the path You’ve laid out and to walk it faithfully.

Lord, we know the pressure of manhood can be heavy, but we thank you that Your Word reminds us, “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22). Let husbands know they don’t have to carry it all alone. Strengthen their shoulders, but more importantly, remind them to lean on Yours.

We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
