Just because I didn't pen this prayer does not mean the words mean any less to me. I want only good things for my future husband, strength, growth, peace, joy, prosperity in his health, finances, work and all areas of his life. I want Him to feel loved by the Lord and to know the pure joy of feeling His presence daily wherever He is.
My prayer is for God to turn all negative things in His life around for good (Rom 8:28). The bible says..."the effectual and fervent prayers of a righteous man prevail much" so I ask that my husbands prayers prevail. I pray that no matter how He feels, He knows He is chosen and valued by the Lord, that He does not have to earn the honor that God wants to bestow upon Him.
My future husband is a crown prince not because of what he has done, but because of what Jesus has done for him. I can't wait to meet Him (Jesus AND my husband). God knows the desires of my heart. He's already chosen. I'm just waiting.

I borrowed the following prayer from the following blog http://airmiles.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/praying-for-my-husband-monday-3/ . It's not that I can't come up with my own prayer, but I liked this one so much I chose to honor this woman by borrowing it. I did alter it to reflect a future husband instead of a current one.
Praying for my Future Husband
Lord, I pray that you would put a hedge of protection around my future husband’s mind. I pray that you would give him discernment so that he will clearly hear your voice and not listen to the lies of satan. Lord, I pray that he would take captive every thought and make it obedient to you, Jesus.
Lord, I pray that my future husband would love you with all his heart, soul, mind and strength and that he would hunger and thirst after your truth so that he would be able to discern wrong thinking and resist the lies and deception of the enemy. Lord, I pray that his mind would be controlled by the Spirit so that he would have life and peace. Give him a sound mind so that he will not harbor any confusing thoughts, nor be tempted with impure, evil, negative or sinful thoughts, but be transformed by the renewing of his mind.
Lord, may my future husband be strong in you and in the power of your might. Help him to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let his requests be made known to you; and may your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Lord, I also pray that he would think on these things: whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, having virtue, or anything praiseworthy.
Lord, the same prayer above for my future husband applies to me as well. Lord, I pray that I would not be negative and that I would be able to speak the truth in love. Lord, I pray that what I share with my future husband is encouraging and uplifting. Continue to work in our lives so that we as individuals glorify you in all we do until the day that we can do it as husband and wife.
Amen.
