A Wife of Prayer is a Woman of Power
Being a Christian wife is a blessing, but it’s not always easy.
There are days of joy — and days of tears. There are days when you feel strong — and days when you feel tired. That’s why prayer is not just a habit for a Christian wife. It’s a lifeline.
When a wife prays, heaven listens. Her prayers can change her home, strengthen her marriage, and bless her children. Proverbs 31 tells us that a godly wife is valuable — more than rubies. But the strength of that wife often begins in secret prayer.
In this post, we’ll walk through 7 powerful prayers for a Christian wife, along with KJV Bible verses to guide your heart.
You can pray them daily, write them in your journal, or speak them over your family. These are not just words — they are weapons in spiritual battle.
Prayer 1: Lord, Help My Husband Lead with Wisdom
As a Christian wife, one of the best gifts you can give your husband is prayer. He may not always say it, but he needs your support — especially in spiritual leadership.
“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”
– Ephesians 5:23 (KJV)
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Help my husband walk as a man of wisdom.
Lead him by Your Spirit in every decision.
Give him courage to stand for truth and humility to follow You.
Let our home be led by Your Word, not by the world.

Prayer 3: Bless Our Finances and Guide Our Giving

But when we put God first in our giving, He promises to take care of us.
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”
– Proverbs 3:9–10 (KJV)

Father,
Thank You for providing for our home.
