Recently, I was speaking to a woman who told me that she is struggling with anxiety. She said that her husband had left for the Navy and she worries about him all of the time.
As I talked with her, it became clear that this wasn’t just because he’s in danger in an unstable environment or even because he might be getting deployed soon. It was simply being apart from him without knowing when they will see each other again.
Her fears were rooted in his safety and security – which are two things we have some beautiful prayers for. Here are a selection of prayers for your husband’s protection.
Some are shorter, so you can use them as a daily prayer, or some are a little longer for more focused requests. You may want to add one or two of these prayers into your own personal list of prayers for your family, if your kids want to pray at the same time.
Prayers for Husband’s Protection
Prayer #1
Dear Lord, as you watch over my husband, please protect him from all harm. He is so precious to me and I would do anything for his safety. Please keep him safe in whatever he does today – whether it’s working or serving our country.
Keep your arms around him Lord as you guide his every step through this day and in our busy lives. And let us be reunited soon so that we may grow in our love for each other. Amen.
Prayer #2
Dear Lord, you know my husband and his needs better than I do because you created him. Please protect him from all harm today as he goes about life’s duties. Guide his footsteps and lead him away from danger and evil people, so that we may be reunited soon with a strong relationship. In your name, we pray. Amen!
Prayer #3
Dear Lord, as you watch over my husband today, please protect him from all harm and evil – both seen and unseen.

Prayer #4
Dear Lord Jesus, please protect my husband. Please keep him safe from harm. Please help him to be strong in his faith.

Please guide him to be a faithful servant of You, and to serve others as well. In Your Name, Amen.
Prayer #5
Dear Lord Jesus, please protect my husband from any harm. Please keep him safe from those who would also do him harm. Please help him to be strong in his faith and to stand firm in his beliefs, even in a difficult time.

I hope these prayers help you and your husband to grow in love for each other.
Even though our husbands may feel they don’t need “protecting” as they value their show of strength, they do – and you can pray for this. Please share this with a friend who needs prayers today!
