Prayer For My Husband To Find Work

Ever since the time of Adam, men have worked. However, because of Adam’s sin, he was forced to work and earn his living for the rest of time. God is a working God, and individuals have been made in his image with the freedom and desire to work.

A great way to support your husband as he looks for a job is to pray for him fervently. You may say this simple prayer:

Dear heavenly Father,

I praise you for having blessed me with a loving husband. Please bless him as he looks for work. Let your will be done in his life as you grant him the right job for his skills and personality. I will await your answer and your grace. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

5 Ways to pray for my husband to find work

Support for your husband as he looks for a job is essential. As a wife, you are not only emotionally and physically needed by your spouse but spiritually as well. That is where your constant prayers come in. Below are some ways for you to ask God to bless your husband with the job He has prepared for him:

1. Pray for skills and ability

It is every husband’s dream to find a good job that can support all of his family’s physical needs. We read in 1 Samuel 17 (NIV) how David defeated Goliath. David did not just kill Goliath out of pure luck. He was able to slay Goliath because he had trained to slay animals much bigger than him, which enabled him to be victorious. David was also a musician and was summoned to play the harp in the presence of King Saul, as written in 1 Samuel 16:14-23 (NIV). As your husband looks for a job, pray that he will be skilled and able to do whatever the job requires. Pray for your spouse to have faith in God and in himself, just as David did. Ask God for your husband to be willing to learn new skills, polish them, or be trained by others. You may pray in this way:

Dear God,

You enable and equip us to do so many things, and nothing is impossible with you. Please make my husband skilled and able, as he is currently looking for a job. Let him be prepared for whatever it requires. This I pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

2. Pray for good health

Having good health is necessary for your husband to find work. The Bible says in Daniel 1:12-16 (NIV) that Daniel and his friends maintained a diet so they could have a healthy lifestyle. They were tested for days and were found to be healthier than the other people who simply ate whatever was brought to them. Pray for your husband to live a healthy life and take care of his body by eating nutritious and beneficial foods and drinks. Pray that he will have the strength and stamina to find work. Ask God for your husband to have enough rest so that he can regain his strength. You can pray in this way:

Dear Lord God,

You give us physical strength, and all health comes from you. Touch my husband’s body and grant him good health as he looks for a job that fits him. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

3. Pray for wisdom

Finding work can be a mental battle. As your husband searches for work, his eagerness to land a job can turn to disappointment, as there may be times when companies will reject his application. No one is exempt from rejection. Even Jesus was rejected, as stated in ( He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Isaiah 53:3 (NIV). Pray that your husband will be wise in handling rejection, frustration, and disappointment. Ask God for your spouse to be full of wisdom concerning which companies to seek out for employment. Ask God to give your husband patience as he waits for a suitable job. Pray for your spouse to give excellent responses in job interviews and make the right choice in deciding what job he will accept. You can pray by using these words:

Dear Lord God,

You are wise, and you know all things. Please bestow wisdom upon my husband in his search for a job. Please let him find a suitable job and be wise in his words, decisions, and actions. I pray for this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

4. Pray for new opportunities 

There are quite a few job opportunities that may spark interest in your husband. There are even jobs online or in hybrid settings. We read in ( As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. Matthew 9:9 (NIV) about the conversion of Matthew. He was a tax collector and was earning more than most people were earning in his time. However, when Jesus approached him and invited him to follow, Matthew knew what to do. He dropped his present job and heeded the Lord’s calling. He saw a greater opportunity in becoming a disciple of Jesus than in collecting taxes. Pray that God will open opportunities that are fitting for your husband. Ask God to open your husband’s eyes as he tries to find a good job to support your family. You may go to God by praying in this way:

Dear God,

You surprise us with amazing things all the time. You open the gates of heaven and shower your blessings upon us. Please open the door of opportunity for my husband to enter. Please show him that it is an opportunity you want him to take. I pray for this, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

5. Pray for courage

The Bible tells us in Exodus 3:7-12, 4:1 (NIV) that when Moses was tasked by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he was reluctant because he lacked the ability. He forgot that God would enable him. He did not remember that God gives courage and power to those who need it. Though Moses was hesitant, God still used him to face Pharaoh and deliver the Israelites. In finding work, your husband may face discouragement, and it may shake his courage and make him question his faith. Your husband may get intimidated. He may act like Moses in his reluctance. He may want to turn around and not take another step forward for the job that God has prepared for him. Pray for him to look to God for courage. Ask God to make your spouse brave during his application process, especially during his interviews. You can pray in this way:

Dear Lord God,

You are the giver of courage. Please bestow courage upon my husband. Free his mind from fear. Let him be bold while he looks for the job you have prepared for him. This I pray, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Conclusion

There are many ways to support your husband in his efforts to find a job, but one of the most significant and powerful things you can do is pray persistently for him. God, who will be pleased with your prayerful heart, will grant your request!
