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.
6 Steps to Follow to Pray for a Good Husband
- Write your prayer request on paper
- Fold your letter up and pray over it
- Bury the letter in the ground
- Ask others to pray for a husband for you
- Pray without ceasing
- Don’t assume that the first man you meet is the right "one"
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:
- A Godly man.
- A man who will love me.
- A man with a good sense of humor.
- A man that is handsome, but with a good personality.
- A man who will never abuse me.
- A dedicated man that will never leave me.
- 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.
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.”
The main idea is that God needs to hear your prayers, so you really have to put that intent behind it. If you open up your heart to God, He will hear you and He will listen to your prayers.
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.
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 if 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 prophesize 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.
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, some women will pray for a husband, but they won’t prepare themselves spiritually for a husband.
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 duds along the way. Years later, I looked them up on Facebook, and I am so 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 will love to share my testimony to all the people in the forum cos I never thought i will have my girlfriend back and she means so much to me. The girl I want to get marry to left me few weeks to our wedding for another man. When I called her she never picked my calls, She blocked me on her facebook and changed her facebook status from engage to Single, when I went to her place of work she told her boss she never want to see me. I lost my job as a result of this cos I couldn't get myself anymore, my life was upside down and everything did not go smooth with my life. I tried all i could do to have her back to all did not work out until i met a Man when i travel to East to execute some business that I have been developing some years back. I told him my problem and all i have passed through in getting her back and how i lost my job, he told me he gonna help me, I didn't believe that in the first place. But she swore she will help me out and she told me the reason why my girlfriend left me and also told me some hidden secrets’ was amazed when i heard that from her...she said she will cast a spell for me and i will see the results in the next couple of days..then i travel back, the following day and i called him when i got home and he said he’s busy casting those spells and he has bought all the materials needed for the spells, she said am gonna see positive results in the next 14 days that is Thursday. My girlfriend called me at exactly 12:35pm on Thursday and apologies for all she had done. She said, she never knew what she was doing and her sudden behavior was not intentional and she promised not to do that again. it was like am dreaming when i heard that from her and when we ended the call, I called the Erica and told her my my girl friend called and she said I haven’t seen anything yet… she said i will also get my job back. And when its Sunday, they called me at my place of work that i should resume work on Monday and they gonna compensate me for the time limit I have spent at home without working...My life is back into shape have my girlfriend back and we are happily married now with a baby boy and I have my job back too. This lady is really powerful...if we have up to 20 people like her in the world, the world would have been a better place...she has also helped many of my friends to solve many problems and they are all happy now...Am posting this to the forum for anybody that is interested in meeting the lady for help. You can mail her to erika_raven_temple@ religious. com, I can’t give out her number cos she told me she don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world...she said her email is okay and she also have a web site if you want to visit her there’ she will replied to any emails asap..Hope she helped u out too...good luck. Her web site is ericaraven. webs . com

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
