He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22, ESV
We hear this verse everywhere, but do you ever think about why having a wife is a good thing? Furthermore, what is this favor about? What is the favor a man will find when he finds a wife?
Favor means approval, support, or liking for someone or something.
So if a man finds a wife, he will have God’s support and a good thing in the woman.
The AMP version says, He who finds a [true and faithful] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor and approval from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22, AMP
The clarifying phrase “true and faithful” contrasts with the many warnings in Proverbs about the contentious or quarrelsome wife and a morally deficient wife (Proverbs 21:19; Proverbs 12:4; Proverbs 14:1).
A wife with moral strength, character, and faith is a wise woman; that woman is a good thing to find. Hence, we see the model wife (and woman) in Proverbs 31:10 as spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous.
I believe that as you go through each of these verses, you see the good wife described as someone who worships, prays, and has faith. This blog will help you become a faith filled woman that prays big prayers.

1. Fruit Of His Labor
21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them.

While there are various ways to guide him, prayer is indispensable. Pray to God for guidance, protection from temptation, and transformation if needed.

“I, [Wisdom, continuously] walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice, 21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth and true riches, And that I may fill their treasuries. Proverbs 8:20-21, AMP
Thought
As a wife, we can fervently pray for their spiritual growth. Even if he isn’t a “good man,” pray for the Lord to transform him. Your prayers are powerful, and as your husband, you can influence him through prayer.
God is watching and waiting for your action. Pray for the Lord to lead him on the path of righteousness, ensuring he lacks nothing. As David expressed in Psalm 23, God can restore and lead him in righteousness, preparing a table of blessings in his life. Our prayer is for God to transform and guide your husband on the path of righteousness, manifesting His blessings in his life.
Prayer For My Husband
Dear Lord, you are great, and you cannot change. You are the God that has the power to change all things. Life and death are in your hands. You have shown your glorious power through various means right from the foundation of the world till this generation. You still remain the same. Merciful God, please hear the prayer of my humble heart and bless the life of my husband. Father God, please, I commit my husband’s life into your gracious hand.

4. Desires Of The Heart
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:13-14, NIV
Thought
The Lord is ready to respond to our prayers, and He acts based on what we pray for. It’s not about wishes or thoughts but about the prayers we offer. Have you prayed for your husband, considering that your prayers bring him favor in God’s eyes?
Don’t just watch your husband pray for himself; it’s your responsibility as a woman to care for him, and praying is one of the greatest services you can provide. God rarely turns down a woman’s prayer. You have the right to dedicate your husband to God, asking for what you want for him.
Don’t worry about having the perfect prayer pattern; you know what you want for your husband. You know what your husband is striving for.
These are the things you need to pray for. Put God first; pray for your husband’s needs, just as you would ask for a favor. Use meaningful names for God and express your emotions while praying. Believing is crucial; have faith before you pray. Take a minute to pray for your husband, sacrificing this time for his well-being.

[Insert all the things that your husband is attempting to do] I ask the Good Lord to answer me as I pray all these things according to His word.

5. Wisdom Of God
34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. 35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. Proverbs 8:34-35, NIV
Thought
Wisdom is essential for a fulfilling life, but not all wisdom guarantees greatness. The wisdom of man may guide actions but doesn’t ensure success.
We’re discussing God’s standard of wisdom, which is distinct. Your husband might have wisdom, but the one from God is holy, righteous, and transcends worldly laws. Today’s verse emphasizes that discovering God’s word can lead to a breakthrough, success, and good health.
As a beloved wife and child of God, remember that wisdom from the Lord comes through prayer. God encourages us to ask Him for anything, including wisdom.
Make the wise decision to pray for your husband’s wisdom. God eagerly awaits your prayers. Even if your husband hasn’t prioritized these prayers, don’t hesitate to pray for him. These prayers can transform your family in the light of God. Let’s pray together.
Prayer For My Husband
Heavenly Father and Eternal King of Glory, I honor you because you are worthy. You are great; your mercy and grace endure forever. All generations will see your glory and magnify your reign. I thank you, and I pray for your grace. Please, Father God, give my husband wisdom. Your word says that fools despise wisdom, so I pray that you bless my husband and renew his mind in your wisdom. Let every aspect of his life that is not shaped in your wisdom be renewed by the power of your spirit of wisdom.
Let any part that has lost your wisdom be replenished in the name of Jesus. Bless him for your name’s sake and cause him to obtain wisdom in your site. Lord, I know there are things that I might’ve missed and therefore I pray for my husband to grow in relationship with you as I know that will give him all that he needs. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
6. The Blessings of Abraham
I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2, NIV
Thought
When the Lord says “Yes,” no one can say “No” because no one can shut a door that the Lord opens. Today, the Lord’s message is about making your husband great—a blessing you shouldn’t doubt. Don’t dismiss it as just for Abraham; those blessings are for us too. We inherit them through faith in Christ (Galatians 3:14).
In essence, what God revealed to Abraham, He is revealing to you about your husband. Claim it by faith, as God promised that through faith in Christ, we inherit Abraham’s blessings. If you truly have faith in Jesus, now is the time to pray for those blessings to manifest in your husband’s life. Our God is faithful and living.
Galatians 3:7 reassures that those who have faith are children of Abraham. So, believe and pray for the blessings God has in store for your husband.
Prayer For My Husband
Father God, here I am today because of your love. Your word is true, and it has given me life in essence. Lord, I thank you for everything that has happened in my family. I thank you for the gift of love and peace. I thank you for the gift of life, even my husband, you have used to bless my life. Whether good or bad, my husband is a big blessing in my life. You gave him to me and made us to become one through the power of Holy Matrimony.
Lord, here we are today, living and trying to get better each day that passes. Though we have failed you countless times, your presence continued to be with us to protect us from the devil’s plans.
I thank you, our Beloved Father, who can do what no other father can do. Dear Father, I am before you now not because I am worthy, but due to the power of your grace, I have come with a humble and contrite heart. Please attend to the prayer of your child. You already know everything, and I believe you know why I have come to you this hour.
I believe that you have answered me already, even though I have not mentioned my heart’s desires. But irrespective of that, I will open my heart and declare the desires of my heart to you, Lord, according to your word. You promise that you will bless us and fulfill the desires of our hearts. You promised that through our faith, you will bless us with the blessings of Abraham.
Lord, if I do not have faith in you, I wouldn’t be here this moment. I pray, Lord, in your mercy and grace, God bless my husband according to your promise. Remove evil from my husband’s heart and every power of sin that will hinder this prayer.
According to your grace, let all that you promised Abraham to be made manifest in his life in the mighty name of Jesus. Bless all his endeavors, bless his works, and make him a light and blessing to those around him. Lord, I know there are things that I might’ve missed and therefore I pray for my husband to grow in relationship with you as I know that will give him all that he needs. Through the power in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
7. Diligence
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare. Proverbs 20:13, NIV
Thought
God desires the best for us, but one thing He dislikes is laziness, as it hinders our destiny. Diligence is crucial for prosperity. Your husband, as a seed of God, can work and sow seeds for a fruitful harvest. God emphasizes blessings on labor and the fruits that come from it. Encourage your husband to persevere, remembering the advice to sow in the morning and not withhold his hand in the evening.
Remind him not to give up, and support him with prayers for strength and courage. God promises renewed strength to those who wait on Him. Pray against laziness and unproductiveness. Trust that the Lord will guide and strengthen him.
Prayer For My Husband
Mighty and Everlasting Redeemer, you are our strength when we are weak, our courage in times of depression, and our hope when there is nothing to hold onto. You are our Lord and Savior, the good Shepherd of our soul. I bless and honor you because your word is absolute. You are the Glorious Judge that Judges in righteousness and holiness. Lord, nothing is enough to express our gratitude towards your love in our lives.
All I have to offer is a humble heart of praise and thanks. Please accept my offering, dear Lord. In as much as you have done great things for us, we still find ourselves falling away from the path you have laid for us. Please forgive all our shortcomings and restore the joy of your salvation in our lives.
Feed us this day with your goodness and destroy all works of darkness against our lives. Merciful one, I commit my husband into your redeeming hands. As your word has warned us not to sleep when we are supposed to work, please give my husband your wisdom and strength to be diligent and shrewd in all his ways.
Most importantly, the right mind to fear you and obey your words in whatever he commits to do. I pray Lord that you bless my husband’s work according to your faithful words. Lastly Lord I pray that my husband’s work is always filled with passion and purpose! Lord, I know there are things that I might’ve missed and therefore I pray for my husband to grow in relationship with you as I know that will give him all that he needs. I pray Lord that you help my husband seek first your kingdom and then you add and multiply all these things in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
