The Importance of Prayer In Your Relationship
Prayer is one of the most powerful methods of worship we have as Christians. When we petition the throne of God, we give alms to God’s sovereignty and grow closer in our relationship with Him.
Prayer is particularly important in the context of a love relationship. When a man and a woman have godly love for each other, the relationship will prosper through an unbreakable bond of love for Christ. The strongest relationships are built on God’s word and truth because God is the very essence of love.
The power of prayer is multifaceted as it is a way for us to relay our hearts and desires to God, receive strength during times of trouble, and ask God to move in the lives of our loved ones.
When we’re close to the heart of God, we can pour into our partner with the unconditional love Jesus gives us.
How To Pray For Him
Prayer is simply having an honest and open conversation with God. When we engage in prayer, we sit in God’s presence knowing He hears us and cares for our hearts.
When we pray to God on behalf of our boyfriend/husband, we should be as specific as possible about what we we’re asking God to do in their lives.
You can pray for his health, success at work, relationship with God, struggles he is currently facing, or whatever is on your heart to bring to the throne of God.
Below I have included 15 powerful prayers to pray over your man’s life. I pray they will inspire you and remind you to always put your faith in God.
May God guide your boyfriend or husband’s way!
