How Can I Pray For My Husband’s Job?

The last thing you want to worry about as a wife is your husband’s job. However, if your husband is jobless, you may feel like you’re constantly in the dark about his employment situation. You’ll feel worried about how you and your family will get by day to day if your husband remains unemployed. Furthermore, if you nag him about getting a job that he doesn’t like, his days will be stressful and depressing.

That is why, as his wife, you should include things about your husband’s job in your prayers.

“Father, I thank you for giving my husband the skills he needs to do his job. Because of Your blessing, he is gainfully employed and able to provide for the family. Lord, I pray that one day, he will achieve his career goals in life. This I pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

We should always be grateful that our husband is blessed with the skills he has and with a steady job. As his wife, we should support him each day by communicating and taking care of his daily needs. Ensure that when he comes home, the house is clean, food is prepared, and he is able to relax and enjoy peace of mind.

Below are some prayers that you can pray for your husband’s job:

Prayer For Your Husband’s Job: Skills

Your husband’s abilities are unique traits that he received from God. They are skills that he needs to nurture in order for them to improve. The skills your husband has is a way for him to get a job. Whatever skills your husband might have, as his wife, you should be supportive of them. Take the advice from  (Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.[ James 1:17);  We all have different talents and gifts that come from God. So we should never take them for granted and use them righteously for God’s glory.

“Father, I thank you for my husband’s skills. He has received such unique skills that he alone possesses. He is able to do his job well. He receives praise from his boss and colleagues for being good at his job, and that is all thanks to You, Father.

I pray that my husband will look to You more and glorify Your name. His skills come from You, and without You, we would be nothing. Father, continue to guide my husband in how he can develop his skills for the glory of Your Kingdom. May he be grateful and not take the blessings he has received from You for granted. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Prayer For Your Husband’s Job: Wisdom

Wisdom is one of the key factors that can help your husband in his job. Having the right kind of wisdom can help your husband achieve all his career goals. He will excel in everything he does, for he is able to make the right decisions. The knowledge and wisdom we have learned throughout our lives can never compare to the wisdom God can offer us. Based on the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5–6, we should not rely on our own knowledge and instead trust our Father, for he shall direct us in the right way. Remember, God has seen everything and knows the right path for us to take. Remember (Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:16): God knew us before we were born and has seen what’s beyond and what is still to come.

“Father, bless my husband with Your Godly wisdom. Make him see that You are the way for him to reach the goals he has in his job. I pray that my husband will not rely on his own understanding of things but instead lean on You and trust You more, for You have seen and recorded in Your book every moment of his life.

Father, guide my husband to make the right decision in his job, as his decision will affect our family. Give him a stress-free mind in order to make the right decision. During difficult times, may my husband learn to pray to You. Learn to ask for help and not give up easily. Help him realize that he is not alone and that You are by his side. This I pray, Amen.”

Prayer For My Husband’s Job: Colleague

One way we can ensure that our husband is doing well at his job is by praying for his colleagues. Our husband’s colleagues will have a great impact on his career path. They can either help him or bring him down. If he has a good relationship with them, your husband will likely enjoy his job and see a bright future ahead. In that case, he will likely get more tasks assigned to him and someday be promoted. This will also benefit you, as your husband will surely get an increase in his salary along with that promotion. Remember ( Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! Psalm 133:1), which says that it is good when God’s people work together in unity.

“Father, please help my husband have a good relationship with his colleagues. I pray that they can all work together in unity. Keep my husband away from people who will hurt him and bring him down. May my husband always be good-tempered and not speak ill of his coworkers.

Father, I pray that my husband’s employer will see that he works well with everyone and completes his tasks in a timely manner. May they see his potential for a promotion and a raise. If it’s in Your plan for him to get a promotion, then we thank you and glorify You, Father, for you have continued to love and bless my husband and our family. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Prayer For My Husband’s Job: Safety And Well-Being

Apart from worrying about our husband’s security, we mostly worry about his safety and well-being. This is especially true if your husband’s job involves him being in danger and working in dangerous places, in which case you’ll constantly be thinking about whether he’ll be coming home in one piece. However, we should never fret, as God is with our husbands. Based on (But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3), we know that God will strengthen your husband and protect him from any evil or danger.

“Father, protect my husband from any works of the enemy. Don’t let the enemy ever put his life in danger. He is Your son, and I know that You love him and will ensure his safety. Send Your Holy Angels to protect him while he is at work and every time he comes home.

Father, prevent any sickness or disease from ever entering my husband’s body. Keep his body strong and healthy so that he may do his job well. Give my husband the strength he needs to complete the tasks he wants to achieve in his life. Father, I trust You with all my heart. Your plans are to prosper my husband and not to harm him. This I pray, Amen.”

Prayer For My Husband’s Job: Jobless

We should not lose hope if our husband finds himself jobless. Instead, we should motivate our husband more and let him know that this is all part of God’s trials in his life. Encourage your husband to try his best and not give up so easily. Always remind him that you are there for him and more importantly, that God is there for him too. What he faces now is just God’s way of strengthening his faith in Him. So, do not be troubled and trust God, based on the words in John 14:1.

“Father, I trust You with all my heart. I know that what my husband is facing now is Your way of testing his faith in You. Father, I pray that my husband will have more faith in You. Make him see that You have better plans for him and that he should not worry too much. You have far greater plans for him, and all he needs to do is trust in You. Without You, we are nothing. Thank you Father, for You have continued to bless us, despite my husband being jobless. We still have a roof over our heads, and we are able to eat every day.

Lord, may my husband’s next job be something he likes and will do well. I pray that his future boss will see his potential and employ him. May he work well with his colleagues so they’ll be able to complete all the tasks given to them on time. Father, continue to guide my husband in his next job adventure. We bring You all the glory and praise. Amen. “
