It wasn’t long before I bumped into a second “model prayer for my husband,” again beautifully wrapped in The Passion Translation. In this prayer, I found that my position as a wife should be to come before my Heavenly Father 
in humility and wonder. No demanding here. Just humble petition. It gives God His rightful place as the Father who perfectly emulates what it means to be a father. He fathered Jesus. He fathers fathers. He fathers my husband. He fathers our children. And, God’s fathering releases “explosive power.”
I’m praying that as you pray for your husband, he will open his heart to God’s Fathering love, so that it becomes “the very source and root of his life.” The trouble is, many men carry deep wounds from their fathers, making it difficult for them to open their hearts to the fathering love of God. By speaking the following verses out loud, we, as wives, declare those things which may not be present yet, as though they are.
Ephesians 3:14-19 TPT
So I kneel humbly in awe before You, the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth. And I pray that You would unveil within [insert your husband’s name] the unlimited riches of Your glory and favor until supernatural strength floods his innermost being with Your divine might and explosive power.
Then, by constantly using his faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside him, and the resting place of Your love will become the very source and root of his life.
Then [insert your husband’s name] will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is Your love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends my husband’s understanding—this extravagant love pours into him until he is filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!
That’s it! We want to see our husbands empowered to discover, to be astonished, and overcome by the extravagant love of God! Meanwhile, we humbly kneel before You, Father, expecting to see Your Hand move.

This is spot on Chris for what I need to be praying and believing to see happen in my marraige. I went to the scripture in my Bible and I had wrote,”7/18 prayer for my son’s”. I started praying this for both of them and putting there name in the scriptures BUT I did not pray this for Brian! Thank you Chris for your obedience to God……..love you! I now have in my Bible, “11/2018 prayer for Brian”! ❤ Excited to see God work on the 3 of their lives which ultimately will affect all of us!😊
