7 Days Fasting And Prayer For Future Husband

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:23-28

When fasting and praying for a future husband, it is important to focus on the right qualities. The Bible, through Paul, provides guidance on these traits by comparing the relationship between a husband and wife to that of Christ and the church.

The church, as the body of Christ, is cared for with the same devotion one gives their own physical body. When you wake up each morning, you tend to your body, ensuring it has what it needs to survive. You brush your teeth, you bath, you eat and even exercise to make sure your body is always in tip top condition.

This is because, you know your body is the vessel through which you live your life. Neglect for your body is means neglecting your life. When something seems wrong with your body, you promptly seek help to restore it to health, knowing that the quality of your life depends on the care you give it.

In the same way, Christ gave up His life for the church, sacrificing Himself so that it could be free from the grip of evil. The church is Christ’s instrument for blessing and saving others, and He cherishes it deeply. A husband is called to reflect this love in his relationship with his wife. Just as Christ cannot be at peace when the church is in disarray, a good husband can not be at peace when his wife is sad or hurting.

When praying for a future husband, pray for someone who embodies the qualities of Christ. Someone who will love, cherish, and care for you as he would his own body. Seek a man who would never subject you to anything he would not tolerate for himself. A husband should love his wife with the same dedication and respect he has for his own well-being.

While it’s natural to desire these admirable traits in a husband, finding such a person is not always easy. This is why fasting and prayer is needed. Take a few hours each day to pray to God for a good husband on an empty stomach. Ask the Lord for a husband who is uniquely tailored to complement and support you, someone who will genuinely love and cherish you as a husband should.

How long should you fast daily?

The number of hours you decide to fast in a day is relative and should suit your capacity. Don’t overdo it. While fasting and prayer are powerful, remember that you are human, and your body still requires nourishment.

Choose a duration that works for you. Whether it’s 3 hours, 6 hours, or even 12 hours. Once you break the fast, it doesn’t mean your prayers should stop. You can and should continue to pray throughout the day, keeping your connection with God strong.
