We stand with you in this season of transition, lifting your husband before the Lord and trusting in His perfect provision. The loss of a job can feel overwhelming, but we know that God is faithful and has a plan for your family. Scripture reminds us in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* And in **Matthew 6:31-33**, Jesus teaches us, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
It is crucial to remember that our trust must be in the Lord, not in our circumstances. If we place our hope in anything other than Christ, we will be shaken when trials come. We encourage your husband to seek the Lord first in this season, asking for wisdom, direction, and open doors. Let this time be one of drawing closer to God, trusting that He will guide each step. It is also important to remember that work is a gift from God, and we are to do all things as unto the Lord, not unto men (**Colossians 3:23**). Whether in employment or waiting, our attitude should reflect Christ’s character—diligence, integrity, and gratitude.
We also want to gently remind you that prayer is most powerful when we approach the Father *in the name of Jesus*. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is through Christ alone that we have access to the throne of grace (**John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18**). If you or your husband have not yet surrendered your lives to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Salvation comes through repenting of sin and believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior (**Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9-10**). Without Christ, our prayers are empty, but in Him, we have confidence that God works all things for our good (**Romans 8:28**).
Let us pray together for your husband’s employment:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this husband and his family. Lord, You are the Provider, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**). We ask that You open doors of opportunity for him, doors that no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**). Give him favor with potential employers, and let Your wisdom guide his steps. Remove any fear or anxiety, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:6-7**). Help him to trust in You completely, knowing that You hold his future.
We rebuke any spirit of discouragement or despair in Jesus’ name. Let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness, Lord. Provide not just a job, but the *right* job—one that aligns with Your will and allows him to glorify You in his work. Strengthen his faith, and let him be a light to those around him, pointing others to You. We also pray for unity and trust in this marriage, that both husband and wife would lean on You together, seeking Your kingdom above all else.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your timing and Your goodness. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to remain steadfast in prayer, to seek godly counsel if needed, and to trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes on Him, and remember that He is preparing a way. If your husband feels led, fasting alongside prayer can be a powerful way to seek the Lord’s direction (**Matthew 6:16-18**). Stay in the Word, and let God’s promises anchor your hearts. We are praying with you!
