Let's pray for our guys life, before today. We want life before today to be an encouragement for his present and his future. Though we cannot change the past, we can learn from it, grow through it and become mature because of it. When our man may not think to pray for his past, let us take that responsibility on ourselves. As we pray for his past, let us ask Jesus to reconcile it. May we also thank the Lord for developing him into the man he is today.
Our focus:
Seek forgiveness for yourself if there are any areas in his past that you have yet to forgive or have developed bitter roots.
Ask that he would have full forgiveness of himself for who he used to be.
Allow his past to be used to encourage him in his future.
May he learn from past triumphs, successes, failures, and sins.
Would he be able to use each part of who he is as a testimony to Christ and his faithfulness.
Pray that his past is not where his thoughts dwell.
Give him eyes to see that you are doing a new thing.
Reveal yourself faithful in the past, giving the promise of being faithful in the present and the hope of being faithful in the future.

I loooooove this prayer!!!! We forget sometimes that God is timeless and He will go back and heal things of the past and we benefit from the healing in the present!! "He makes everything good in HIS time" Love it girl!!!
its kinda hard to pray for your future husband's past esp. if its someone you don't know! yet, it is still important and helps shape a person...thanks for doing this Ash and for suggesting that we could pray for our future husbands even if we don't know them...my prayers about future events are always self-centered, and i have never prayed like this so intently for him...whoever him might be! :)
Amy, it will be so amazing when you sit down with your husband one day and go back to this time and see where your husband was!!!! And where he headed.....I still love to play the journal game with Jeremy and see where he was in times in my life....another testament to how Faithful God truly is!!!
