How to Pray for Your Future Husband (Even Before You Meet Him)

Why Pray for Someone You Haven’t Met Yet?

Have you ever wondered if your future husband is thinking about you right now?
Even more important — are you praying for him?

Some people say, “Why should I pray for someone I haven’t met?” But the truth is, praying now builds your future later.

God knows who your husband will be. And your prayers can help prepare his heart — and yours.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
— James 5:16b (KJV)

So let’s learn how to pray for your future husband — step by step, with the Bible to guide us.

Step 1: Pray for His Relationship with God

Before anything else — money, looks, career — the most important thing is that your future husband knows God and follows Him.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
— Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

If he puts God first, everything else will fall into place.

Prayer:
Lord,
Wherever he is right now, I pray that my future husband loves You.
Let him seek You with all his heart.
Keep him strong in faith, and help him grow every day in Your Word.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Step 2: Pray for His Character

A man’s character is more important than his appearance. Is he honest? Kind? Faithful? Does he have self-control?

Ask God to shape him into a man of godly strength and humility.

“He hath shewed thee… what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
— Micah 6:8 (KJV)

Prayer:
Father,
Please build in him a heart that is honest and true.
Teach him to walk in humility and wisdom.
Help him to be a man who does the right thing — even when no one is looking.
Make him a man after Your own heart.
Amen.

Step 3: Pray for His Protection

This world is full of temptations, danger, and distractions. Your future husband needs spiritual protection, even if you’ve never met him.

“The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.”
— Psalm 121:7 (KJV)

Prayer:
Lord,
Keep him safe from evil and harm.
Guard his heart, mind, and body.
Surround him with Your angels and keep him from wrong paths.
Let him walk in peace and protection.
Amen.

Step 4: Pray for His Purpose

God has a calling on your future husband’s life. You want to marry a man who knows his purpose — and lives it.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you… thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
— Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)

Prayer:
Father God,
Show him the path You have for him.
Give him a clear vision of his purpose.
Let him walk in confidence and faith, doing what You made him to do.
Amen.

Step 5: Pray for Your Future Together

It’s not just about him — it’s about the life you will build together under God’s hand. Marriage is not just love and romance. It’s a calling. You will be partners in prayer, purpose, and peace.

Ask God to prepare both of you — for a marriage that honors Him.

“Two are better than one… For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow…”
— Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (KJV)

Prayer:
Lord,
Prepare us for each other.
Help us build a life filled with prayer, love, and faith.
Let us support each other in hard times and rejoice in the good.
Use our marriage to bless others and bring glory to Your name.
Amen.

Step 6: Pray for Yourself as a Future Wife

Before asking God to send you the right man, ask Him to make you the right woman. Pray that your heart is humble, wise, and patient. Ask Him to make you a wife who reflects Proverbs 31 — strong, kind, and faithful.

“A prudent wife is from the LORD.”
— Proverbs 19:14b (KJV)

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.”
— Proverbs 31:10 (KJV)

Prayer:
Father,
Shape me into a woman who pleases You.
Teach me to be gentle, wise, and full of grace.
Help me be a blessing to my husband one day — not a burden.
Make me strong in faith and rich in kindness.
Amen.

Prayer 7: Pray for His Friendships

The people around your future husband will influence him — for good or for bad. Pray that God surrounds him with wise, godly friends who sharpen his faith and encourage him to stay on the right path.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”
— Proverbs 13:20 (KJV)

Prayer:
Lord,
Place the right people around my future husband.
Give him strong, wise, and faithful friends.
Remove any friend who would pull him away from You.
Let those closest to him be full of truth and love.
Amen.

Prayer 8: Pray for His Purity and Self-Control

We live in a world full of temptation. But you can pray now that your future husband chooses purity — in body, mind, and heart — and that he keeps himself only for you and for God’s glory.

“Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace…”
— 2 Timothy 2:22 (KJV)

Prayer:
Father,
Help him honor You with his body and thoughts.
Give him strength to resist temptation and live in purity.
Let him be faithful in his heart, even now.
Help him wait in holiness, just like I am waiting.
Amen.

Prayer 9: Pray for His Wisdom and Decisions

Your future husband will make many decisions — big and small. Some will affect your future family. Ask God to give him wisdom and spiritual insight to make the right choices.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God… and it shall be given him.”
— James 1:5 (KJV)

Prayer:
Lord,
Fill him with wisdom from above.
Guide every step he takes and every choice he makes.
Teach him to seek You before anything else.
Let him be a man who listens for Your voice.
Amen.

Prayer 10: Pray for His Work and Finances

Your future husband may already be working, studying, or building something. Pray for God’s hand on his work, and that he honors God with his money and future household.

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
— Proverbs 16:3 (KJV)

Prayer:
Father,
Bless the work of his hands.
Let him walk in honesty, diligence, and favor.
Provide for him and teach him to trust You in all things.
Let him honor You with his money and build a strong, godly home.
Amen.

Bonus Tip: Keep a Prayer Journal for Him

Even before you meet your future husband, you can write down your prayers, dreams, and Bible verses for him in a notebook or digital journal.

Then one day — when you’re married — you can show him how you prayed for him before you ever knew his name. What a gift!

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables…”
— Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)

Final Thoughts: Prayer Prepares You for a Love that Lasts

You may not know who your future husband is yet. But God does.
And every time you pray for him, you are planting seeds of love, faith, and blessing.

Even if it takes time, don’t give up. God’s timing is always perfect.

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
— Psalm 37:4 (KJV)

So while you wait… pray, trust, and grow. Your future is in God’s hands — and it is good.
