Prayer For Future Son In Law
Lord, You created my daughter. You saw her being formed in my womb, and you knew she existed, even before I did.
Besides knowing you as her savior, who she chooses to marry is the most important decision she will ever make. And so Lord, I pray for her. I pray for him.
I pray for them.
God, may my daughter's future husband love you with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength. May he be a man who loves other people as he loves himself.
God, be working in him, even now, to form his love for you, and for others.
Put people in his life to help him love you. Put circumstances in his life to help him trust you. Put successes in his life to help him praise you.
Lord, may my daughter's future husband appreciate her goodness and her gifts, and may he value her as his true companion. May he be a godly, servant leader of their home. Make him the kind of man who can say with genuine authenticity, Follow me, as I follow Christ.
Lord, help my daughter's future husband be a hard worker, a man of complete integrity, and a man she can trust to protect her and provide for her. Teach him the value and satisfaction of a job well done.
May my daughter's future husband be an unselfish man, who loves her as Christ loves his church. Give my daughter a man who is willing to sacrifice himself for her. And Lord, help my daughter never take his sacrifices on her behalf for granted.
God, I pray that my daughter's future husband would be strong, loving, kind, and wise. Help him live with her in an understanding way. May he validate her strengths, and help her grow in her weaknesses. May she do the same for him.
I pray their life together will be filled with love and laughter. May they always be friends, and never stop being lovers. Give them a home filled with joy.
I pray they will cling to each other through the storms of life. When life gets hard, remind them to turn toward each other, not away from each other. Give my daughter a man who is brave enough to work through difficulties with humility and grace. Give her a man that won't quit on her, on himself, or on You.
God, I pray that my daughter's future husband would give himself fully to her, and she to him. Give them deep satisfaction in each other's embrace. May he be a safe refuge for her; may she be a safe refuge for him.
May their life together be a signpost for others that declares, God is real and God is good.
But Lord, until the day he walks into her life, and she walks into his, draw them both close to You. May each of them learn how to depend on You. Always. Give his parents wisdom as they raise him. Give us wisdom as we raise her.
Lord, watch over him. Watch over her.
And bless them both.
Amen.
Father, there is a young man somewhere that I probably have never met. He is playing on a playground, sitting at a dining room table, or throwing rocks into a pond.
To be honest I have no idea what he is doing, what his life (or his face for that matter) looks like, who his family is or what values are being instilled. But I am dedicated to lifting him up to You.
This young man will one day marry my daughter
As tears role down my cheeks, I cry out to you to bless, protect and direct his life.
I pray that you would surround him with Your love. Place people in his life that will lay a foundation of Your truth, Your love, and Your values.
Keep him safe. Keep him pure. Make him Yours.
Even now, I pray that you would prepare a love in him for his future wife and cause this love to drive his actions.
Make him sensitive to Your voice. Make him eager to seek You and to seek the plan You have for his life.
Teach him to lay down his life, for You. That he will one day lay it down for my daughter, and their children. Teach him to lead by following You.
Lord, I trust Your plan for their lives and I anticipate their union and the glory it will bring to Your Kingdom.
Amen!
Let him not be afraid of those eyes let him genuinely love HER and see HER. 3. Integrity For the love of all things holy (and you, of ALL people, know about all the holy things), let him be a man of integrity. ... This will speak volumes about his role as her husband, and who he is as a man.
Today, I pray for my son-in-laws.

You will soon have a decision to make about serving a two-year, full-time mission for the Lord. But truthfully, I hope you make that decision long before you turn 18 and graduate from high school. My full-time mission meant everything to me. I have never met anyone who had a better mission experience than I did it was everything I ever wanted it to be. So much of what I know about how to be a husband and a father comes from lessons I learned as a missionary. I pray your heart is set on giving the Lord all you've got during those two consecrated years of your life.
Few things will influence the way you treat my daughters more than the way you see your dad treat your mom inside your own home. I pray that your dad is teaching you by his example to respect your wife always. In that regard, your dad is in my prayers, too.
