Work is where we spend most of our days. The Bible says we should work as if we are working for the Lord and not man. If your wife is happy at work, that’s awesome. Maybe she’s not content and is looking for something else. Or maybe she’s unemployed right now, or things aren’t going well in a business. Here are some prayers to help with each situation.
A Prayer for the Employed:
Dear Lord, I thank you that my wife has a job that she loves. Thank you for providing that for her. I ask that you continue to bless her with this job and that she will be an asset to her boss and the surrounding coworkers. Help her shine your light and lead people to you as she works with her unique gifts and talents. In your name, I pray. Amen.
A Prayer for the Unemployed:
Dear Lord, I pray for my wife right now. Please lead her to the right job; I pray that we will have the hours, pay, and benefits we need. I know that you have the right job in mind and that we need to be patient for you to reveal it to her. Lord, please help her not to be discouraged as she looks and applies. Help me encourage her as well. Amen.
A Prayer for the Underemployed:
Dear Lord, I pray for my wife and her business right now. Please lead her to the right clients or bring the right clients to her. She has been working so hard to find new business and is getting more discouraged by the day. Help her let it go, lean on you, and not get agitated and frustrated. Help me be a source of encouragement for her. Amen.
