Why We Pray for Men
Because men face real pressure and real spiritual battles.
They are called to lead, love, serve, and protect, but not from a place of perfection. From a place of dependence on God.
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”
— 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV)
These prayers aren’t just for hard times. They’re for daily life to remind men that they’re not expected to carry the world on their shoulders alone.
What the Bible Says About Godly Men
The Bible gives a clear picture of what it means to be a man of God: not macho, but meek; not distant, but devoted.
- Micah “6:8—”What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
- Psalm 112:1 — “Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands.”
- Proverbs 20:7 — “The righteous man walks in integrity; blessed are his children after him.”
