I am sure you’ve heard the saying “Actions speak louder than words” before. It’s true. If you want to know if someone loves you, listen to their actions.
If you’re married, you probably already know that sometimes your husband doesn’t tell you the truth. They might lie to you about something small or big, depending on who they are talking to. Sometimes he might even lie to himself.
There are times when we find ourselves asking questions such as “How can I pray for a liar?” or “how can I forgive such dishonesty?”. These questions are quite common among women who are suffering from their husbands’ dishonesty.
A husband who lies to his wife is worse than a thief because he robs her of her peace of mind. The Bible says, “He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends” (Proverbs 17:9).
A dishonest husband takes away trust and confidence. If, as a wife, you suspect him of lying, perhaps you will never fully trust him again. You will always wonder if he is telling her the truth.
If you suspect your husband of lying to you, pray for him. Ask God to give you discernment to see if there is anything wrong.
Don’t let bitterness get into your heart. Let the Lord deal with him through the power of prayer. Here are some prayers for a lying husband.
Prayer #1
Dear Lord, please forgive my husband for being such a liar. Please help him to be truthful with me in future. Help him to learn to tell the truth because he will need to do so if he wants to keep me.
Please give him the strength to face the consequences of his actions. And finally, Lord, please forgive me for not believing my own eyes and ears. I know that I should trust my husband, but sometimes I find myself doubting what he says. Forgive me for doubting him and help me to always trust him, if he is being honest.
Amen

Dear Father, I pray that you will give my husband the power to tell the truth in everything he does. Help him to be honest with his friends, his family, and with me too.
