We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your husband’s search for part-time employment. It is good that you seek the Lord’s provision, for He is our Provider and the One who opens doors no man can shut. We are reminded in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Let us trust in His perfect timing and sovereign plan, knowing that He cares deeply for your family’s needs.
However, we must gently address something important: in your request, the name of Jesus was not invoked. Scripture is clear that we come to the Father *only* through the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and in Acts 4:12, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* We encourage you to always approach the throne of grace in Jesus’ name, for it is by His authority and mediation that our prayers are heard.
Now, let us pray together for your husband’s employment:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband. Lord, You know their needs even before they ask, and we thank You that You are a God who provides. We ask that You open the right door for part-time work for her husband—work that aligns with Your will, brings glory to Your name, and meets their financial needs. Give him favor in the eyes of employers, wisdom in his search, and patience as he waits on You. Remove any obstacles that are not of You, and let this season be a testament to Your faithfulness.
We also pray that this time of seeking would draw their hearts closer to You, trusting in Your perfect plan. May they find rest in Your promise from Matthew 6:33, *'But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.'* Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand at work in this situation.
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety, doubt, or discouragement in Jesus’ name. You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want. We declare Your provision over them, believing that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
We also encourage you both to remain steadfast in prayer, seeking the Lord’s guidance in this process. Consider Proverbs 3:5-6, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Keep your eyes on Him, and He will direct your steps.
If your husband has not already done so, we suggest he prayerfully considers how his skills and gifts can be used to serve others while also providing for your family. Sometimes the Lord uses unexpected avenues to bless us—whether through connections in the church, temporary opportunities, or even new skills He may be leading your husband to develop. Stay open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
We will continue to lift this request before the Lord, trusting that He is working even now. May you both be filled with His peace that surpasses all understanding as you wait on Him.
