We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious marriage and the need for employment. Father God, Your Word tells us in Genesis 2:18 that it is not good for man to be alone, and You instituted marriage as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. We pray for this union to be strengthened in You, Lord, that both husband and wife would seek You first in all things, honoring the vows they have made before You.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would open doors of opportunity for meaningful employment. Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:19 that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We trust in Your provision, Lord, and ask that You would guide this family to the right job—one that not only meets their financial needs but also allows them to serve You and others with the gifts You have given them.
We also lift up any struggles this couple may be facing—whether it be communication, trust, or the pressures of life. Lord, help them to lay down their burdens at Your feet and to seek Your wisdom in all things. Remind them of Your love and faithfulness, and let them find comfort in Your promises. In Ephesians 4:2-3, You call us to bear with one another in love, with all humility and gentleness, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. May this couple walk in that unity, reflecting Your grace and love to one another.
If there are any areas where this marriage or their walk with You has strayed from Your will, we ask for conviction and repentance. Forgive any sins of selfishness, unforgiveness, or neglect, and restore what has been broken. Help them to build their home on the foundation of Christ, as it says in Matthew 7:24-25, so that when the storms of life come, they will not be shaken.
Lord, we also pray for their spiritual growth. May they grow closer to You and to one another, studying Your Word together and praying without ceasing. Let their marriage be a testimony to Your goodness and a light to those around them.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or discouragement that may be trying to take hold in this situation. We declare that this marriage is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against it shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We speak life, hope, and provision over this family in the mighty name of Jesus.
We pray all these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other name by which we can come to You, Lord, and we thank You for the access we have through Him. May this couple find their strength, their hope, and their future in Christ alone. Amen.
