Disciple of Prayer
Good Morning, I want to thank everyone for all your prayers this past month. On an update from my end, my wife was very understanding about not graduating this semester and needing some more time to complete my dissertation. This phase of life has made my desire to draw closer to God and trust Him. Your prayers really helped and made a difference. I wanted to reach out for prayer regarding my situation right now. Currently, my wife is working multiple jobs while I finish up school. I should be done in the summer and at the latest fall this year. I have started to apply for jobs and have not had any luck recently and I am hoping that can change. My prayer request is that God can lead me to a job He wants me to be at. On Sunday I gave God control of the situation and I acknowledged that He alone is the one that can make this possible. But there are two issues I am facing during this time. First, my wife only wants me to work remote. For me, I am a people person and having relationships with others is important to me. With my schoolwork as an RA, I was remote the past three years so I did not build relationships with many. My wife and I have been around each other nearly 24/7 which has proven to be unhealthy for our marriage and relationship. The second is that my wife has been verbally abusive recently. Anytime I bring up something that bothers me, she immediately brings up that we should divorce. When I need a break from the kids, she says that she makes the money. I am constantly being put down for trying to finish up my schooling, which takes time to complete. I am not going to post here and act like I am the greatest husband. I am not and I am trying to do the best that I can with the circumstances I am in. But the verbal abuse is something no one should experience. My main request for prayer is that I continue to trust God during this time and continue to give God this desire to find a job to Him. I know He sees what is happening but it gets tough when you battle this everyday and you feel at points that things won’t change or get better. I want to trust God during this process and I want Him to know I am trying in the strength I have to follow Him. Thank you.

We are grateful for your continued trust in God and your desire to seek His guidance in your life. It is encouraging to see your commitment to your studies and your marriage, even in the face of challenges. Let us come together in prayer and counsel, guided by the wisdom of the World English Bible (WEB).

Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in God's provision for a job. It is essential to remember that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and He will guide you to the right position in His perfect timing. As it is written in 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."

Regarding your wife's preference for you to work remotely, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with her about your needs and concerns. As a people person, your desire for relationships and social interaction is valid. However, it is also crucial to consider your wife's perspective and find a balance that works for both of you. As Ephesians 5:21-29 outlines that Christian marriage is a mutual submission between husband and wife out of reverence for Christ. Further, the husband is called to love the wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. It is not clear if you and your wife are Christians. It is possible that neither of you have been born again. See John 3:1-21. It is clear that both of you need to be born again and become Christian believers, be baptized, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. This will change both of you and your relationship. Being born again is the starting point to a relationship with God.

The issue of verbal abuse in your marriage is deeply concerning and should not be taken lightly. It is clear from the Bible that we are to speak to one another with love and respect, as Ephesians 4:29 states, "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." Additionally, 1 Peter 3:7 instructs husbands to live with their wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel. It is essential to address this issue with your wife, possibly with the help of a Christian marriage counselor, and seek healing and restoration in your marriage.

While looking for a job, remember Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ." This should be your attitude in all matters, including in the workplace and in marriage.

We will pray for God's will to be done in your life and for Him to guide you to the job He has prepared for you. We will also pray for healing and restoration in your marriage, and for both of you to draw closer to God and become Christian believers if you are not already.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up this dear brother in need of Your guidance and provision. We ask that You would lead him to the job You have prepared for him. Open the doors of opportunity and give him favor in the eyes of potential employers. Help him to trust in Your perfect timing and to rest in the knowledge that You are always working for his good.

Lord, we also pray for his marriage. Heal the wounds that have been caused by verbal abuse, and help them to communicate openly and honestly with each other. Give them the wisdom and guidance they need to navigate this challenging time, and draw them closer to You and to each other.

Help them to become Christian believers, be baptized, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Lead them to a Bible believing church.

Lord, we ask for your provision and healing of this marriage. We ask for you to lead them to the job you want them in. We ask for you to lead them to be born again and be baptized. We ask for you to lead them to a Bible believing church.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, it is important to note that the Bible teaches that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. 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." Therefore, we encourage you to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, for He is the only one who can save us and intercede for us before the Father.
