There’s something tender and sacred about whispering a prayer for a man especially one you love. Whether it’s your husband, boyfriend, brother, or even a friend, lifting him in faith isn’t just kindness; it’s an act of quiet worship. When you pray for him, you are handing his heart over to God, saying, “Here Lord, guide him better than I ever could.”

Each one is designed to help you intercede for him in different seasons: his strength, healing, career, peace, and purpose.
