DAY 28

PRAYING FOR HIS SELF-IMAGE

Fighting your husband about his perception of himself won’t change anything. If your husband’s self image needs a makeover, pray and be patient for changes which may not happen overnight.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (your husband’s name) will find his identity in You. Help him to understand his worth through Your eyes and by Your standards. May he recognize the unique qualities You’ve placed in him and be able to appreciate them. Enable him to see himself the way You see him, understanding that You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet (Psalm 8:4-6). Quiet the voices that tell him otherwise and give him ears to hear Your voice telling him that it will not be his perfection that gets him through life successfully, it will be Yours.

Reveal to him that he is the image and glory of God (1 Corinthians 11:7), and he is complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:10). Give him the peace and security of knowing that he is accepted, not rejected, by You. Free him from the self-focus and self-consciousness that can imprison his soul. Help him to see who YOU really are so he’ll know who HE really is. May his true self-image be the image of Christ stamped upon his soul.

DAY 29

PRAYING FOR HIS FAITH

To a certain extent everyone lives by faith, but we also have times of doubt. Pray for your husband that in his time of doubt, he would have an ever increasing faith that will make a big difference in his life.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that you will give (your husband’s name) an added measure of faith today. Enlarge his ability to believe in You, Your Word, Your promises, Your ways, and Your power. Put a longing in His heart to talk with You and hear Your voice. Give him and understanding of what it means to bask in Your presence and not just ask for things. May he seek You, rely totally upon You, be led by You, put You first, and acknowledge You in everything he does.

Lord, You’ve said that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Feed his soul with Your Word so his faith grows big enough to believe that with You all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Give him unfailing certainty that what You’ve promised to do, You will do (Romans 4:21). Make his faith a shield of protection. Put it into action to move the mountains in his life. Your Word says, the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17); I pray that he will live the kind of faith-filled life You’ve called us all to experience. May he know with complete certainty how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You (Psalm 31:19).

DAY 25

PRAYING FOR HIS REPENTANCE

Many men have fallen into temptation and they cover up with pride and the inability to say the truth, confess and repent. Pray that your husband be convicted of his sin, to humbly confess it before God, then turn from his error and cease to do it.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would convict my husband of any error in his life. Let there be “nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known (Matthew 10:26). Cleanse him from any secret sins and reach him to be a person who is quick to confess when he is wrong (Psalm 19:12). Help him to recognize his mistakes. Give him eyes to see Your truth and ears to hear Your voice. Bring him to full repentance before You. If there is suffering to be done, let it be the suffering of a remorseful heart and not because the crushing hand of the enemy has found an opening into his life through unconfessed sin. Lord, I know that humility must come before honor (Proverbs 15:33). Take away all pride that would cause him to deny his faults and work into his soul a humility of heart so that he will receive the honor You have for him.

DAY 26

PRAYING FOR HIS DELIVERANCE

There are some certain lifestyle your husband may be living which is morally wrong, it may be something new or an old lifestyle that has pulled him into bondage as though he cannot do without. Pray he is delivered and set free

PRAYER

Lord, You have said to call upon You in the day of trouble and You will deliver us (Psalm 50:15). I call upon You now and ask that You would work deliverance in my husband’s life. Deliver him from anything that binds him. Set him free from (name a specific thing). Deliver him quickly and be a rock of refuge, a fortress of defence to save him (Psalm 31:2). Lift him away from the hands of the enemy (Psalm 31:15).

Bring him to a place of understanding where he can recognize the work of evil and cry out to You for help. If the deliverance he prays for isn’t immediate, keep him from discouragement and help him to be confident that You have begun a good work in him and will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Give him the certainty that even in his most hopeless state, when he finds it impossible to change anything, You, Lord, can change everything.

Help him understand that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). I pray that he will be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God, so he can stand against the wiles of the devil in the evil day. Help him to gird his waist with truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness, having shod his feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Enable him to take up the shield of faith, with which to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. I pray that he will take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful and standing strong to the end (Ephesians 6:13-18).

DAY 22

PRAYING FOR HIS EMOTIONS

Emotions are strong feelings that are usually expressed. Some men have emotions filled with anger and most women tend to live with them that way, causing them to act in fear rather than love.

Anger, jealousy and depression are 3 negative emotions that can torment a man’s soul, don’t watch your husband be manipulated by his emotions. Pray that your husband’s emotions be controlled by the Holy Spirit and not himself, freedom may just be a prayer away.

PRAYER

Lord, You have said in Your Word that You redeem our souls when we put our trust in You (Psalm 34:22). I pray that (your husband’s name) would have faith in You to redeem his soul from negative emotions. May he never be controlled by depression, anger, anxiety, jealousy, hopelessness, fear, or suicidal thoughts. Specifically I pray about (area of concern). Deliver him from this and all other controlling emotions (Psalm 40:17). I know that only You can deliver and heal, but use me as Your instrument of restoration. Help me not to be pulled down with him when he struggles. Enable me instead to understand and have words to say that will bring life.

Free him to share his deepest feelings with me and others who can help. Liberate him to cry when he needs to and not bottle his emotions inside. At the same time, give him the gift of laughter and ability to find humor in even serious situations. Teach him to take his eyes off his circumstances and trust in You, regardless of how he is feeling. Give him patience to possess his should and the ability to take charge of it (Luke 21:19). Anoint him with the oil of joy (Isaiah 61:3), refresh him with Your Spirit, and set him free from negative emotions this day.

DAY 23

PRAYING FOR HIS WALK

A man’s walk is his direction or focus in life, basically the way he journeys through life. Every day he chooses a path that will launch him forward. And the way he journeys affect every part of his life…..family, friends, co-workers, etc

We are to walk with moral correctness, walk without fault, walk with godly advisor, walk in obedience, walk with people of wisdom, walk with integrity, and most of all walk a path of holiness. Pray for your husband to walk in the right direction through life.

PRAYER

O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps (Jeremiah 10:23). Therefore, Lord, I pray that YOU would direct my husband’s steps. Lead him in YOUR light, teach him YOUR way, so he will walk in YOUR truth. I pray that he would have a deeper walk with You and an ever progressing hunger for Your Word. May Your presence be like a delicacy he never ceases to crave. Lead him on Your path and make him quick to confess when he strays from it. Reveal to him any hidden sin that would hinder him from walking rightly before you. May he experience deep repentance when he doesn't live in obedience to Your laws. Create in him a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within him. Don’t cast him away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from him (Psalm 51:10,11).

Lord Your Word says that those who are in the flesh cannot please You (Romans 8:8). So I pray that You will enable (your husband’s name) to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and thereby keep himself from the paths of the destroyer (Psalm 17:4). As he walks in the Spirit, may he bear the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22,23). Keep him on the Highway of Holiness so that the way he walks will be integrated into every part of his life.

DAY 24

PRAYING FOR HIS TALK

Some men are fond of bragging about what they can and will do but never do them, such men hardly get anywhere. I believe in less talk, more action with a constructive plan. Pray that your husband’s heart to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, and teach him a new way to talk.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray Your Holy Spirit would guard my husband’s mouth so that he will speak only words that edify and bring life. Help him to not be a grumbler, complainer, a user of foul language, or one who destroys with his words, but be disciplined enough to keep his conversation godly. Your Word says a man who desires a long life must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit (Psalm 34:12-13). Show him how to do that. Fill him with Your love so that out of the overflow of his heart will come words that build up and not tear down. Work that in my heart as well.

May Your spirit of love reign in the words we speak so that we don’t miscommunicate or wound one another. Help us to show each other respect, speak words that encourage, share our feelings openly, and come to mutual agreements without strife. Lord, You’ve said in Your Word that when two agree, You are in their midst. I pray that the reverse be true as well – that You will be in our midst so that we two can agree. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).

DAY 19

PRAYING FOR HIS PAST

We all have past experiences and in life you get the best when we learn from our pasts rather than living in it. Forget those things which are behind and reach forward for those things which are ahead. Dwelling in the past not only affects you but also your children especially if it is your husband living in the past. Be patient and pray that your husband does not listen to the voice of the past

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would enable (your husband’s name) to let go of his past completely. Deliver him from any hold it has on him. Help him to put off his former conduct and habitual ways of thinking about it and be renewed in his mind (Ephesians 4:22,23). Enlarge his understanding to know that you make all things new (Revelation 21:5). Show him a fresh, Holy Spirit-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. Give him the mind of Christ so that he can clearly discern Your voice from the voices of the past. When he hears those old voices, enable him to rise up and shut dthem down with the truth of Your Word. Where he has formerly experienced rejection or pain, I pray he not allow them to color what he sees and hears now. Pour forgiveness into his heart so that bitterness, resentment, revenge, and unforgiveness will have no place there. May he regard the past as only a history lesson and not a guide for his daily life. Wherever his past has become and unpleasant memory, I pray You would redeem it and bring life out of it. Bind up his wounds (Psalm 147:3). Restore his soul (Psalm 23:3). Help him to release the past so that he will not live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future you have for him.

PRAYING FOR HIS ATTITUDE

No one truly wants to be known with a bad attitude. If you have a family member who has bad attitude, rather than reacting to their negativity, pray about it. And if your husband has bad attitude, use your prayers to soften his heart, pray that his heart becomes pure and have a cheerful countenance.

PRAYER

Lord, fill (your husband’s name) with Your love and peace today. May there be a calmness, serenity, and sense of well-being established in him because his life is God-controlled rather than self-controlled. Enable him to walk in his house with a clean and perfect heart before You (Psalm 101:2). Shine the light of Your Spirit upon him and fill him with Your love. I pray that he will be kind and patient, not selfish or easily provoked. Enable him to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things (1 Corinthians 13:7). Release him from anger, unrest, anxiety, concerns, inner turmoil, strife, and pressure. May he not be broken in spirit because of sorrow (Proverbs 15:15), but enjoy the continual feast of a merry heart. Give him a spirit of joy and keep him from growing into a grumpy old man. Help him to be anxious for nothing, but give thanks in all things so he can know the peace that passes all understanding. May he come to the point of saying, I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content (Phillipians 4:11). I say to (your husband’s name) this day, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His continence upon you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

DAY 16

PRAYING FOR HIS PRIORITIES 

We wives always want to top in your husband’s lists of priorities after God, but men have different ideas of what their priorities should be. It is not easy setting your priorities in order. You also should keep your husband at the top of your priorities too. The simple little things you do shows him he is top in your list. On the other hand you should pray you are on top of his priorities.

PRAYER

God, I proclaim You Lord over my life. Help me to seek You first every day and set my priorities in perfect order. Reveal to me how to properly put my husband before children, work, family, friends, activities, and interests. Show me what I can do right now to demonstrate to him that he has this position in my heart. Mend the times I have caused him to doubt that. Tell me how to prioritize everything so that whatever steals life away, or has no lasting purpose, will not occupy my time.

I pray for my husband’s priorities to be in perfect order as well. Be Lord and Ruler over his heart. Help him to choose a simplicity of life that will allow him to have time alone with You, Lord, a place to be quiet to Your presence every day. Speak to him about making Your Word, prayer, and praise a priority. Enable him to place me and our children in greater prominence in his heart than career, friends, and activities. I pray he will seek You first and submit his all to You, for when he does I know the other pieces of his life will fit together perfectly.

PRAYING FOR HIS RELATIONSHIPS 

The influences of good friends keep us in the right path. As they say birds of the same feathers flock together. During marriage class we were taught not to keep singles as our dear friends and the married ones we keep should be morally upright with good reputations. Pray bad friends and influences away from your marriage, pray about all your husband’s relationship, relationship with his parents, brothers/sisters, uncle/aunties, cousins, coworkers, neighbors, friends.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray for (husband’s name) to have good, godly male friends with whom he can openly share his heart. May they be trustworthy men of wisdom who will speak truth into his life and not just say what he wants to hear (Proverbs 28:23). Give him the discernment to seprate himself from anyone who will not be a good influence (1 Corinthians 5:13). Show him the importance of godly friendships and help me encourage him to sustain them. Give us believing married couples with whom we can feel comfortable sharing our lives.

I pray for strong, peaceful relationships with each of his family members, neighbors, acquaintances, and coworkers. Today I specifically pray for his relationship with (name of person). Inspire open communicationa dnmutual acceptance between them. Let there be reconcilationw here there has been estrangement. Work peace into anything that needs to be worked out.

I pray that in his heart he will live long and be blessed in his life (Exodus 20:12). Enable him to be a forgiving person and not carry grudges or hold things in his heart against others. Lord, You’ve said in Your Word that he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes (1 John 2:11). I pray that my husband would never be blinded by the darkness of unforgiveness, but continually walk in the light of forgiveness. May he not judge or show contempt for anyone but remember that we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10). Enable him to love his enemies, bless those who curse him, do good to those who hate him, and pray for those who spitefully use him and persecute him (Matthew 5:44). I pray that I will be counted as his best friend and that our friendship with one another will continue to grow. Show him what it means to be a true friend and enable him to be one.

PRAYING FOR HIS FATHERHOOD

Been a father is one of the best things that can ever happen to a man, and they fear not been able to be a good father.  Most men do not recognize their importance to their children, they feel it’s just providing the money, it is more than that. There should be a good relationship between them. Pray for your husband to have a greater understanding of his heavenly father’s love.

PRAYER

Lord, teach (husband’s name) to be a good father. Where it was not modeled to him according to Your ways, heal those areas and help him to forgive his dad. Give him revelation of You and a hunger in his heart to really know You as his heavenly Father. Draw him close to spend time in Your presence so he can become more like You, and fully understand Your Father’s heart of compassion and love toward him. Grow that same heart in him for his children. Help him to balance mercy, judgment, and instruction the way You do. Through You require obedience, You are quick to acknowledge a repentant heart. Make him that way, too. Show him when to discipline and how. Help him to see that he who loves his child disciplines him promptly (Proverbs 13:24). May he never provoke his children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord (Ephisians 6:4). I pray we will be united in the rules we set for our children and be in full agreement as to how they are raised. I pray that there will be no strife or argument over how to handle them and the issues that surround their lives.

Give him skills of communication with his children. I pray he will not be stern, hard, cruel, cold, abusive, noncommunicative, passive, critical, weak, uninterested, neglectful, undependable, or uninvolved. Help him instead to be kind, loving, soft-hearted, warm, interested, affirming, affectionate, involved, strong consistent, dependable, verbally communicative, understanding, and patient. May he require and inspire his children to honor him as their father so that their lives will be long and blessed.

Lord, I know we pass a spiritual inheritance to our children. Let the heritage he passes on be one rich in the fullness of Your Holy Spirit. Enable him to model clearly a walk of submission to Your laws. May he delight in his children and long to grow them up Your way. Being a good father is something he wants very much. I pray that You would give the desire of his heart.

DAY 13

PRAYING FOR HIS TRIALS

Everyone goes through hard times, men do not pray as much as we women do, your job is to pray for your husband to conquer his trials

PRAYER

Lord, You alone know the depth of the burden my husband carries. I may understand the specifics, but You have measured the weight of it on his shoulders. I’ve not come to minimize what You are doing in his life, for I know You work great things in the midst of trials. Nor am I trying to protect him from what he may face. I only want to support him so that he will get through this battle as the winner.

God, You are our refuge and strength, a very presents help in trouble(Psalm 46:1). You have invited us to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need(Hebrews 4:16). I come before Your throne and ask for grace for my husband. Strengthen his heart for this battle and give him patience to wait on You(Psalm 27:1-4). Build him up so that no matter what happens he will be able to stand strong through it. Help him to be always rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulations, continuing steadfastly in prayer(Romans 12:12). Give him endurance to run the race and not give up, for You have said that a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again(Proverbs 24:16). Help him to remember that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand(Psalm 37: 23,24).

I pray he will look to You to be his refuge until these calamities have passed by(Psalm 57:1). May he learn to wait on You because those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles and they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint(Isaiah 40:31). I pray that he will find his strength in You and as he cries out to You, You will hear him and save him out of all his troubles(Psalm 34:6).

PRAYING FOR HIS INTEGRITY:

Integrity happens in the heart. Therefore, being a man of integrity is something your husband must choose to do on his own. But you as the wife can prayerfully help him fight the enemy that seeks to snare him, blind him and keep him from making that decision. Even when he makes the right choice, there will be negative reaction to it in the realm of evil. Your prayers can help shield him from anything that causes him to doubt and waver, and give him strength to do what is right—even when no one is looking.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would make my husband a man of integrity, according to Your standards. Give him strength to say “Yes” when he should say “Yes,” and courage to say “No” when he should say “No.” enable him to stand for what he knows is right and not waver under pressure from the world. Don’t let him be  a man who is always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth(2 Timothy 3:7). Give him, instead, a teachable spirit that is willing to listen to the voice of wisdom and grow in Your ways.

Make him a man who lives by truth. Help him to walk with Your Spirit of truth at all times(John 16:13). Be with him to bear witness to the truth so that in times of pressure he will act on it with confidence(1 John 1:8,9). Where he has erred in this and other matters, give him a hear that is quick to confess his mistakes. For You have said in Your Word, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness(1 John 1:8,9). Don’t let him be deceived. Don’t let him live a lie in any way. Bind mercy and truth around his neck and write them on the tablet of his heart so he will find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man(proverbs 3:3,4).

PRAYING FOR HIS REPUTATION

Reputation is the opinion of people about you. A good reputation is something important and valuable, it can be ruined by small mistakes we make, by the kind of people you constantly hang out with. A virtuous wife the bible says has a husband who is respected. He is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land (Proverbs 31:23). Is it so with you? Pray for your husband’s reputation continuously that he chooses to have and keep a good reputation.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (husband’s name) will have a reputation that is untarnished. I know that a man is often valued by what others say of him (Proverb 27:21), so I pray that he will be respected in our town and people will speak highly of him. You've said in Your Word that a curse without cause shall not alight (Proverbs 26:2). I pray that there would never be any reason for bad things to be said of him. Keep him out of legal entanglements. Protect us from lawsuits and criminal proceedings. Deliver him from his enemies, O God. Defend him from those who rise up to do him harm (Psalm 59:1). Fight against those who fight against him (Psalm 35:1). In You, O Lord, we put our trust. Let us never be put to shame(Psalm 71:1). If You are for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)

Your Word says that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 7:18, 19). I pray that my husband will bear good fruit out of the goodness that is within him, and that he will be known by the good that he does. May the fruits of honesty, trustworthiness, and humility sweeten all his dealings so that his reputation will never be spoiled.

Preserve his life from the enemy, hid him from the secret counsel of the wicked. Pull him out of any net which has been laid for him (Psalm 31:4). Keep him safe from the evil of gossiping mouths. Where there has been ill spoken of him, touch the lips of those who speak it with Your refining fire. Let the responsibility of those involved be revealed. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion who seek to destroy his life; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonour who wish him evil (Psalm 40:14). May he trust in You and not be afraid of what man can do to him (Psalm 56:11). For You have said whoever believes in You will not be put to shame (Romans 10:11). Lead him, guide him, and be his mighty fortress and hiding place. May his light so shine before me that they see his good works and glorify You, Lord (Matthew 5:16).

PRAYING FOR HIS CHOICES 

Choices pretty much define us in every way, pray your husband makes the right choices in life.

PRAYER

Lord, fill my husband with the fear of the Lord and give him wisdom for every decision he makes. May he reverence You and Your ways and seek to know Your truth. Give him discernment to make decisions based on Your revelation. Help him to make godly choices and keep him from doing anything foolish. Take foolishness out of his heart and enable him to quickly recognize error and avoid it. Open his eyes to clearly see the consequences of any anticipated behavior.

I pray that he will listen to godly counselors and not be a man who is unteachable. Give him strength to reject the counsel of the ungodly and hear Your counsel above all others. I declare that although there are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel – that will stand(Proverbs 19:21). Instruct him even as he is sleeping(Psalm 16:17) and in the morning, I pray he will do what’s right rather than follow the leading of his own flesh. I know the wisdom of the world is foolishness with You, Lord(1 Corinthians 3:19). May he not buy into it, but keep his eyes on You and have ears to hear Your voice.

If you have ever been seriously ill before you will know that having a good health is joy and it makes you feel very much alive. Pray for your husband to have good health.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray for Your healing touch on  (husband’s name). Make every part of his body function the way You designed it to. Wherever there is anything out of balance, set it in perfect working order. Heal him of any disease, illness, injury, infirmity, and weakness. Strengthen his body to successfully endure his workload, and when he sleeps may he wake up completely rested, rejuvenated and refreshed. Give him a strong heart that doesn’t fail. I don’t want him to have heart failure at any time.

I pray that he will have the desire to take care of his body, to eat the kind of food that brings health, to get regular exercise, and avoid anything that would be harmful to him. Help him to understand that his body is Your temple and he should care for it as such(1 Corinthians 3:16). I pray that he will present it as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You(Romans 12:1).

When he is ill, I pray You will sustain him and heal him. Fill him with your joy to give him strength. Specifically, I pray for (mention any area of concern). Give him faith to say, O Lord my God, I cried out to You and You healed me(Psalm 30:2). Thank You Lord that You are my Healer. I pray that my husband will live a long and healthy life and when death does come, may it be accompanied by peace and not unbearable suffering and agony. Thank You, Lord, that You will be there to welcome him into Your presence, and not a moment before Your appointed hour.

DAY 12

PRAYING FOR HIS PROTECTION 

Every day we go about our routines, safety is important, either indoors or outdoors. Pray for your husband to be safe at all times.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that you would protect  (husband’s name) from any accidents, diseases, dangers, or evil influences. Keep him safe, especially in cars and planes. Hide him from violence and the plans of evil people. Wherever he walks, secure his steps. Keep him on Your path so that this feet don’t slip(Psalm 17:5). If his food does slip, hold him up by Your mercy(Psalm 94:18). Give him the wisdom and discretion that will help him walk safely and not fall into danger(Proverbs 3:21-23). Be his fortress, strength, shield, and stronghold(Psalm 18:2,3). Make him to dwell in the shadow of Your wings(Psalm 91:1-2). Be his rock, salvation, and defense, so that he will not be moved or shaken(Psalm 62:6). I pray that even though bad things may be happening all around him, they will not come near him(Psalm 91:7). Save him from any plans of the enemy that seek to destroy his life(Psalm 103:4). Preserve his going out and his coming in from this time forth and even forevermore(Psalm 121:8).
