6 Easy Steps on How to Pray for a Good Husband
Are You Searching for the Right Man? Here's How to Pray and Get Results!
Learning how to pray for a husband is not as complicated as it may seem. One of the biggest myths of the day is that there is a great shortage of ‘good’ men. It’s not that there is a shortage of good men, many women are searching for good men in all the wrong places.
If you’re searching for a good man, you probably won’t find him at school, work, on the train, the mall or your church (I’ll explain why later).
Before you continue your search for a husband, take a deep breath and relax – if you are alive, you still have time. Here are 6 easy steps that worked for me when I prayed for a husband.
Step 1: Write your prayer request on paper. When I was praying for a husband, I decided to write my request on paper to God. There is something special about writing to God on paper. It’s like you’re pouring your heart out to Him.
Then you’re going to pray the request back to God. For example, let’s say you wrote: “Dear God, please help me to find the right husband.” You’re going to read and pray your request back to Him.
Now, I have to be honest, I probably wrote God more than a dozen letters about finding a husband until He finally answered my prayers. So, if God doesn’t answer you immediately, don’t give up hope. He hears your prayers – even on paper. Remember, His time is not our time.
Important Note: In your letter to God, make sure you are very specific on the type of husband you want. For instance:
1. A Godly man.
2. A man who will love me.
3. A man with a good sense of humor.
4. A man that is handsome, but with a good personality.
5. A man who will never abuse me.
6. A dedicated man that will never leave me.
7. A man that has a strong relationship with Christ.
This is just a sample list. Feel free to use it - you can make your list as long as you desire.
Step 2: Fold your letter up and pray over it. This doesn’t have to be a long prayer, just a short prayer like: “Lord, I believe you will answer my prayers.”
Step 3: Bury the letter in the ground. Yes, I know. This may sound a bit strange. After all that work you’re going to bury the letter? In reality, I started burying my prayer request letters in the ground, at the beach, after I got married. I did something a little unorthodox when I was single (like this isn’t). Now, it’s important to note that when I started praying to God for a husband, I was very young, so my tactics were a bit odd.
I would write letters to God, pray over them and throw them out the window while riding down the road in a car. This may sound funny to you, but I truly felt that God would send an angel to report the details of the letter back to Heaven. Then He would answer them.
As I matured in Christ, He revealed to me that He read the details of my request even before the ink from my pen dried on the paper.
Step 4: Ask others to pray for a husband for you. When two or more people are gathered for prayer, God is in the midst (Matthew 18:20). Just make sure you choose people that can actually get a prayer through. There is no point in asking someone to pray for you and they never seem to get their prayers answered.
Keep in mind, the person that you ask for prayer doesn’t have to be married. I remember asking anyone that I knew who could get a prayer through. I personally asked the elderly mothers in the church who got their prayers answered from God.
If you decide to ask a minister in your church to pray for you, make sure you are specific. Don’t just say, “Pray that I find a man.” That sounds too desperate. Say something like: “Pray that I find the ‘right’ husband,” or “Pray that God helps me to find a good husband.”
Also, never walk up to a prophet or minister out of the blue and say: “Pray that I get a husband.”
I tried that once when I was single with a prophet that came to our church to preach. I thought that he would prophecy about my future husband. I assumed that he would say: “God told me that you are going to get married soon.”
I was totally wrong. Instead, he said, “Oh, okay.” Then he walked away. I was so embarrassed. Thank goodness no one was around to hear my desperate plea.
Save yourself the embarrassment and don’t make the same mistake I did.
Step 5: Pray without ceasing. Pray daily until God answers your prayers like in: 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Just make sure that this isn’t your only prayer. It’s sort of rude to come to the Creator and beg Him for a husband as soon as you wake up in the morning. Also, when you pray, ask God to prepare you to be a good wife. Often times, some women will pray for a husband, but they won’t prepare themselves spiritually for a husband.
Step 6: Don’t assume that the first man you meet is the right ‘one’. Remember, Satan knows that you’re in the market for a husband. So, he will try to distract you by sending the wrong men. Just because a man is a Christian, pastor or a good choir boy doesn’t mean he’s the one that God has for you. After I asked God to help me find a husband, I ran into a few milk duds along the way. Years later, I looked them up on Facebook and I am SOOOOOO glad I didn’t get involved with them.
It’s very important that you seek God for a husband. When you meet a potential mate, He will let you know whether or not your prospective husband is the one.
Also, it’s important to know that God isn’t predictable. I assumed that I would meet my husband at my church. I imagined him walking in one Sunday morning. I lived about 50 miles away from my church. My future husband lived only 15-20 minutes away from where I lived at the time. So, you never know where you will meet your future husband.
Bonus: Leave it in God’s hands. When you have prayed for God to find a husband, trust in Him completely. Don’t worry about when, where or how you’re going to meet him. The moment that I stopped stressing over when I was going to meet the right one, that’s when God stepped in and introduced me to the love of my life. We have been married for 16 happy years.
So, if you feel super anxious about finding a husband, I understand how you feel. I was afraid that I would not meet the right man because I was told there was a shortage of men. That is simply not the case. If it is in God’s plan for you to get married, you will eventually get married.

I have been trying to seek and build my own woman without the consent of my God and each time I tried I fail and loose without any fault on my side, this moment am seeking for God intervention to lead me to a woman of Christ and beautiful in mind and soul
What if you are already married but it seems to be going astray? Wondering will these same steps get God's attention& answers for an already married couple.
Pls thanks very much i have learn something tkday
I was the one who divorced my husband after 15 years. I could not anymore live with years upon years of physical and mental abuse, neglect, and adultry. I tried over and over - I pleaded, cried, turned my eye, I sought God for guidance repeatedly. I Tried everything and No change, it only got worse as time went on. So with a pained heart that I’m afraid will never be the same, I started the process to end our marriage. I felt that no change and a worsening situation meant ending it the path He was showing me. Now, Years later, here I am. I’ve prayed daily and written for a kind Husband, and since I have no family beyond my children, prayers from others are appreciated.
I very much want safe love, from someone who wipes tears and brings me joy and peace, instead of causing tears and pain without care. I want to be chosen time and again, and not abandoned. I want a man who sees my children as a blessing and not a burden, like a couple others I’ve met in recent years illustrated to me. I’d like a tote ring, hardworking, financially stable man that is kind and respectful to myself and those around him, and loves my children as his own. I want companionship and connection, someone to walk beside each day.
I have a lot of love and support to give and I am ready to be the best wife for him. If only the right man sent by God would come. Please hear my prayers. Amen
Greetings and hello, you stated in the reading to bury the prayer letters. My question is; if I bury it in a city where I don’t think I will reside in long, would this matter. By the way, this is a wonderful technique to assist in prayers to God.

Thank you so much for the loving advice. Gives me hope. I have been single for many years and like you said met many many 'milk duds'. I feel now is the right time and I am asking God to guide me, not only to find me the good husband but to help me be the right person to him too. God bless you and your husband's relationship.
I have been praying to God for him to lead me to my husband and i still believe that he is a God who answers our prayers.and i know as he has said in the scriptures that he will complete my joy when i ask he will give me.
Thanks for the steps
I strongly believed, my God Almighty Jesus Christ, son of David, has answered all my prayers.
Thank you Lord, Jesus Christ for I give my all to you and please continue covering me with your precious Blood, for there is power mighty in your Blood in Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen

Oh God my father, help me to find the man you have prepare to be my husband, a Godly man, a man that will love, a man that will cherish me, a man that will have the fear of God in his heart, a lovely man. Lord i believe that you have done it.
Eve been praying for having good man in my life who’s going to be handsome and at the same time kind, not abusive, good leader, financially stable, and good father to my kids since last year with is 2017, but 3 months ago I stoped pray for this hope, because I totally lost trust in men, people, in love, in hope, and in faith. Mostly guys who interested in me are not even my type, or not even financially stable, or if they are in my type they are married or totally Jerks who doesn’t even want to try to be a father. I though to my self, I am just waisted my time to ask and not get what I need. I absolutely hate those sugar daddies, because they just want sex but not love. I prefer Love verses than crazy men who has sex with bunch of women who sleeps with them, just for their pocket. Yes, I will love to be taking care by my men, but not by a men who sleeps with different yang kitties where is love will never exist. Now, I am just asking God in my daily prayers, not to get hurt again by Jerks who just want to use women like a glove, and protect me from those crazy people, give me beauty inside and out rest of my life. I lost faith on everything
Prayer that God send me a loving, honoring, emotionally present man that enjoys me, loves me, respects me as I do him. I open myself up to this great love. My husband is a wonderful provider, the servant leader for us. He is financially sound and has savings, abundances and provides. He gives his time to others and to me. There is no doubt he has my back and I have his. Love is around us and abounds. We laugh, support, worship, travel, give one another.
I am ready for this great love God. There is no hesitation, no doubt, no games. We are together and we are love for one another - we enhance each other. We create a family.
Thank you for this man in my love. We are married and it is right. In 2018 we are together in person and growing in our relationship. We know, there is a knowing, a peace, a calm. I love this man before I know him and he loves me.
Amen
Hi God, humbly I pray give me a sweet lovely man, who loves n honours u, one we can bow to worship u, I'm 47 yrs , help me to pray, want to Mary be4 end of this year.
Dear God help me and my beloved marry soon and end our suffering.
Thanks so much for this article. I have been praying for a husband for the last 3 years. I fasted from men and spent time, focusing on my relationship with God and becoming a better woman. After a year of prayers and believing, an amazing man walked in my life and swepted me off my feet. We ended up finding out that we went to the same church (unknowingly for the last 4 years) and truthfully he was exactly what I prayed for. Well after a year he walked away from me. (We had an amazing relationship and I knew he was my husband) but months later we tried again. And after 2 years together, he left again. Many asked well what happened? Nothing. We had disagreements, but nothing that would make a man just up and leave. We were best friends. I'm 28 years old, college grad and worked very hard as a single mom (i had a 6 year old at the time) and grew up as a minsters kid. So I have always knew where my help comes from! Well today, it's been 3 months since he left and I feel better than last year (I was left depressed and went to counseling with my church every week). I am writing this because when you are praying hard for a husband, the enemy can send you distractions that mimic what you have prayed for. I was happy but lost 2 years thinking that man that I fell in love with was my husband. In the midst of heartbreak, God has blessed me with many blessings. Whatever God has for me and my son, is for us. I am very ready for my husband and have excepted the "waiting" part. So I will take your lovely advice and start writing my prayers out (as I have done that before). I believe that my husband will come in God's timing and not my own.
God bless you and your marriage
Lord I come before you right now I have a few thoughts in mind as I begin to pray I've been broken by the woman that I love the woman that I was supposed to spend my life with a Christian Walker and Ministry with I found myself laying on the spiritually thinking that I was ready to surrender and then these words of the song came to my mind but you keep me from falling everywhere except on my knees and I realized if I would just Rise to my knees and begin to pray and there is where I realized that I can not give up on you I can not give up on love true love is out there and I will find this true love that's where I grew my strength to stand on my feet begin to fight my way through this trial and I do believe that my love is out there I believe God. That diamond in the rough that you have for me is somewhere out there I believe in that true love for me she is out there somewhere
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
In Jesus name I pray
Thanks for your advice, I pray God gives me and my sisters good husbands so we can be happy
Ooh God help me to get the women tht i wll spend the rest off my lyf wth her
Please pray that God sends me a God fearing man that will love me unconditionally. Someone that I will recognize he was sent by God. I'm 41 years old and my hope is growing dim. I want to be able to get married and still have children for him and enjoy my marriage with him.
Lord Jesus I know you hear me I want a good husband who will alwaz be on my side no matter what comes on our way
Please Lord, send a good husband for my daughter. Give her patience while we wait. I will trust in You. I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen. Thank you
But what if it's a certain person...
Thanks May God bless you for this piece. Please pray along with me I am becoming weary and have become an object of mockery all around me I need God to send me my husband fast.
thanks for the good work
I pray You God. Teach me how wait and surrender to Your perfect time. Because You are my Father and You know me. I want to honor You through this marriage. I want to be more like Christ! I want to consecrate You, like Anne consacrates her son Samuel. Amen!
This is a nice one.I will do all that is in your write up but you need to help me with step 4;ask others to pray for a husband for you.You will help me out there by praying fervently for a husband for me.I don't want it to exceed this year.
Its really nice and I have picked some thing out of it right know I have aguy and we have abay but what he does it doesnt show love to words me yet he is a born again instead of sitting down and we talk about what he has done he will ask for space so am here please pray for me
It’s important to write it down.
Dear god.. help me to find a godly man to be my partner in life. A man with a goodheart please god guide me. You know what's best for me. I trust in you lord. I surrender it all for u. Thanks lord.. amen.
It has been challenging waiting for God to send me a husband. I’m 41 and soo lonely sometimes. I’m active in ministry, but at the age where I’m ready to have a leader, partner, friend and love as we help establish Gods kingdom here on earth. 1 can put 1.000 to flight, but 2 can put 10,000

Plz pray fr me that i get married to the gud man in Christ
Pls pray for me for a right man to see me and for me to make good wife...
Dont know why i am losing hope, after a lot of experiences(from god or not)dont know
Hello,
Although a lot of girls dreamed of getting married to a heaven sent man, sometimes it seems like it's not so easy. I believe that whatever you put into it is what you will get out of it. What I mean by this is, a God sent man is not just going to fall from the sky or appear in your path out of no where. If you're looking for a Christian or Catholic man on Tinder, a party, bar, or club, that's what you will get. A guy with a short term, fun time mentality. Again, this is not always the case, but probably not your best option. You will get whatever you surround yourself with & around. That being said, I am currently in a relationship with a guy who does not believe in God. This is very hard for me because I grew up as a catholic and although I've had my ups and downs, my faith for God, morals, and beliefs stayed the same through everything at the end of the day. I have been with him for almost 8 months now, our relationship is great, there is nothing wrong with it. We get along perfectly, have a great time together, do not argue, he is kind, patient, treats me well, etc. but the one big problem evidently is our view on faith.. Right now, we are young, everything is fun & easy, but what would my life be like marrying this man? Our children, holidays, going to church on Sundays.. how would marrying a guy who doesn't believe in God change my life? and what do I do? I have no reason to leave him.. Also, just because a guy is a Christian or catholic doesn't necessarily mean he will be a good husband. Should I leave a guy who doesn't have faith to risk end up having no one at all or someone not as good as him? It is not so easy just to walk out on someone after you have built such a strong relationship. I could use some prayers and advice. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my story.
Best,
Chloe

Praying for you Merriam. Pray over each room in your home and invite Heaven to invade your home. Pray, Pray, Pray especially at night. Think about Jesus before you fall asleep. And when you feel that nasty presence on your home or dreams say: "I am a CHILD OF GOD AND I DEMAND YOU TO LEAVE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!" That evil presence will have no choice, but to flea!
Please pray for me,I'm struggling to find a man,kids and i think the problem is that something sleeps with me at night,it feels real but when I wake up I realise that it's not,it tricks me because it comes as a dream
