Let's bring your concerns before the Lord together, seeking His will and intervention for your husband.
Firstly, we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father. It's important to ensure that your husband has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If not, we pray that he will come to know Him as his Lord and Savior. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Now, let's address your concerns. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." We pray that your husband, being a new creation in Christ, will be freed from his alcohol addiction permanently. May the Holy Spirit convict him and give him the strength to overcome this struggle.
Regarding his unemployment, we pray for God's provision and favor. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, we read, "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." We pray that God will guide your husband's steps, opening doors for a steady income through his freelancing work or a new job opportunity.
Concerning his temper and communication issues, we pray for the fruit of the Spirit to be evident in his life. In Galatians 5:22-23 WEB, it says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." May God grant him wisdom and understanding, and help him to be teachable and open to correction.
In Ephesians 4:29 WEB, we're told, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." We pray that your husband's words will be used to build others up, not to speak senselessly.
Let us pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this beloved sister's husband to You. Lord, we pray that he will be drawn closer to You, and if he does not yet know Jesus, we ask that You reveal Yourself to him, that he may be saved.
Father, we ask for Your deliverance from alcohol addiction. Break those chains, Lord, and set him free indeed as per John 8:36
Provide for his needs according to Your riches in glory. Open up opportunities for him to have a steady income to bless his family.
Lord, we also ask for a change in his temper and communication. Make him more approachable, teachable, and wise in his words and actions. Help this couple to communicate effectively and build a strong, godly marriage.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for your husband.
