7 Guided Prayers For Your HusbandExemplo

A Prayer for Perspective

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You’ve equipped my husband for the work he does. Thank You for the skills, gifts, insight, and character You’ve developed in him to be employed and perform his work well. His work is valuable not only to him but also to us as a family. But, God, You have also reminded us in Your Word to keep an eternal mind-set so that we are not only working for tangible benefits on earth but also for an eternal inheritance. First Peter 1:3-4 tells us through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we have an inheritance in heaven that “can never perish, spoil or fade.” Thank You for the opportunity to increase our inheritance in heaven based on what is done on earth for Your glory and kingdom.

Talk to God about specific situations regarding your husband’s work that could use God’s intervention. In the areas where you have witnessed an eternal mind-set influence your husband’s thoughts regarding work, thank God for them. Ask Him to develop an even greater eternal perspective in your family, your marriage, and your husband’s view toward his own work as well as yours. Look for ways you complement each other and can work together to bring about eternal benefit in the lives of others. 

Gracious Lord, open my husband’s eyes and heart to understand the eternal consequences of the choices he makes. Cultivate in him a desire to store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust will destroy them. Help my words and conversations with him to be seasoned in such a way that encourages him to fully adopt an eternal mind-set with regard to his work, and life in general. Show us how best to serve You with our time, talents, and resources. Thank You that You bless us with an abundance of joy when we do seek to use what You have entrusted to each of us for an eternal impact. Thank You God for giving us this time on earth to prepare for eternity. 

In Christ’s name, amen.
