7 Prayers for My Husband to Find Work

The Bible teaches us that men are supposed to be the head of our households. They are meant to be hard workers who provide for their families. However, we live in a society that is constantly trying to redefine our households and individual family roles.

It is almost impossible for most families to live on a single-family income. In a lot of cases, the cost of childcare far exceeds the income a second person would be making. This leaves, most commonly mothers, at home depending solely on their husbands to find and secure a stable source of income.

The one thing we can do for our husbands is pray for them. Matthew 7:7 teaches us to “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” We can encourage our husbands to go after their work goals, but we also need to keep them grounded in seeking out God’s goal for them.

No matter if you’re living off of one income, or your husband just needs some encouragement, pray for him. Even though the job market isn’t always for men, he will feel the love you have for him through your words, and the love Jesus has for him in his heart.

I know there are so many people who work hard at my husband’s place of work. I know his job may not stand out as much when he is doing a great job.

Remind those around him that not seeing him every day is the goal. Help them recall him when everything goes right in the day. Allow his boss to see and recognize that everything is going right because he is being successful in his work.

Thank you for blessing us with a steady paycheck Father, we know we owe all of our success to you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Concluding Thoughts

My children have a CD that sings bible verses and this one struck me today on my morning drive. When we are looking towards the Lord, it is important to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Proverbs 3:5.

If we ask our Lord for things, but then do not relinquish our control over the situation, we do not leave room for him to guide us in the right direction. Remember to let go and trust that he will provide for your family. That doesn’t mean do nothing, it just means to leave your heart open for the unthinkable.

You never know where work will be provided for your husband, even if it is not the easiest solution to the problem presented, there may be a lesson waiting there from God. All you need is one good interview- whether it’s in person or even online.
