Dear God, I pray for these hands that hold me, for these eyes that share nothing but truth. I pray for the smile that stretches across his imperfect face and the way that simple expression can make my heart warm unconsciously-and how beautiful love is in the way it can do that.
God, I pray for his wisdom and strength, that in each of the days he faces, he knows he is loved, cared for, and never alone. When his mind drifts away from confidence and into despair, I ask that you fill him. I ask that you guide him.
Father, we are two imperfect people navigating this mess of life and love. We’re trying to live with hands that are outstretched and minds that put others first. We’re trying to spread hope; we’re just trying to do the best we can.
And every time I look at him, I see a beautiful future. And I pray that you will guide us forward into that place, with you at the forefront of all we are and will become.
A Romantic Prayer for Love, Gratitude, and Devotion

And thank you for showing me all that I am, and all I’ll continue to become by his side. I pray that you’ll be there for him, that you’ll strengthen and inspire him, that you’ll show him all that he has the potential to grow into when he surrenders his path to your plan.
I pray that you’ll remind him of all that he has, and that you’ll teach him to be humble, but also proud. I pray that you love him, that you’ll listen to him, that you’ll pull him to you when he wanders away.

A Daily Prayer for My Husband
Praying powerful, Scriptural prayers for our husbands isn't something we do every once in a blue moon or even whenever we feel like it. Instead, it is something that we MUST do and should be doing every day!
Our husbands are constantly under spiritual attack, whether at work, at home, or even while serving in the church. As their wife and helpmate, we should view him as a gift and actively pray the Word of God with and for them.
We have repeatedly seen the power of prayer in Scripture, and hopefully, as you reflect on your life, you can see it as well.
Reading God's Word is the number one way to find ways to pray for your husband; reading the Scriptures and letting those be your prayers is very powerful.
