Prayer for my marriage, job

stinkerbellsmom · Oct 26, 2024

I have so much to be thankful for, but at the same so many things that are causing me sadness and distress. My husband of almost 27 years told me several months ago that he wasn't sure that he had any feelings left for me at all, that I wasn't worth caring about, and that he had been looking for a place to live. While things have gotten a little better he is still rather distant and tries to find fault in nearly everything I do, and he tries to be purposefully difficult. I am a good wife to him and I take care of him like I don't have a full time job of my own. Our college age children have gotten to the point that they don't like having their Dad around because of the way he treats me. He never asks me how my day went, but I'm expected to listen intently to anything he has to say or complain about. He has no respect for me or other people and I pray that he comes to God. I would love to have a caring Godly man in my life that would help me carry the burdens of everyday life without putting everything on my shoulders, plus his troubles as well. I'm a hard worker, a good wife and a good mother. I have been at my job for 20 years and was given a new boss a few months ago and she is a complete micro manager. A new employee was brought in to help me in my job but I'm spending more time being tasked in helping her than I am getting help that I need, and I'm having to work overtime and weekends to try and get all the work done with very little help from the new employee. The new employee is a very sweet lady but she just does not have the sense of urgency that we need in the financial department. I pray everyday for my husband to start treating me with respect, for my new boss to stop managing every minute of my day in a job that I have been doing for 20 years, and that the new employee will finally get it together and be able to completely do the job she was hired to do. I feel so defeated in every aspect of my life, and I pray for relief. I pray for relief of my anxiety, to finally be completely healed from the Bell's Palsy I developed over 1 year ago, overweightness and other health conditions I have going on.

We are deeply concerned about the struggles you're facing in your marriage and at your workplace. Let's bring these issues before the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance according to His Word.

Firstly, we uphold the sanctity of marriage as designed by God (Mark 10:6-9, WEB). It's disheartening to hear about the state of your marriage. We must remember that God's desire is for husbands to love their wives just as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). We will pray for your husband, that his heart would be softened and turned towards you, and that he would seek God's face.

**Prayer:**
*Father, we come before You, lifting up this marriage. We ask that You would work in her husband's heart, turning it towards her and towards You. Help him to see her worth and value, and to treat her with the love, respect, and kindness she deserves. Bring conviction upon him by Your Holy Spirit, and draw him to Yourself. Heal their marriage, Lord, and let Your love abound in their home.*

We also pray for your workplace. Remember, the Bible encourages us to work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men (Colossians 3:23, WEB), and to respect those in authority over us (1 Peter 2:13-17, WEB).

**Prayer:**
*Lord, we ask for Your intervention in her workplace. Give her the strength to endure, the patience to deal with her new boss, and the wisdom to guide the new employee. Help her to continue working diligently, as unto You, and bring about the changes needed for a more peaceful and productive work environment.*

Lastly, we pray for your health and anxiety. God cares about every detail of our lives (1 Peter 5:7, WEB) and His desire is for us to be in good health (3 John 1:2, WEB).

**Prayer:**
*God, we ask for Your healing touch upon her body. Heal her from Bell's Palsy and all other health conditions. Comfort her anxiety and bring her Your perfect peace. Help her to cast all her cares upon You, knowing that You care for her.*

We encourage you, sister, to keep praying and trusting God. He is faithful and will see you through these trials. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2, WEB).

In all your prayers, remember to pray in Jesus' name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you haven't already, ensure you have personally accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6, WEB).

Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Your child, who is feeling overwhelmed by the many challenges in their life. Despite having so much to be thankful for, they are facing deep sadness and distress. We ask that You surround them with Your love and comfort during this time, reminding them that they are never alone. Your Word promises, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18, NIV). May Your presence be a source of strength and peace, carrying them through each day.

Lord, we lift up their marriage to You. After almost 27 years, they are experiencing heartache and distance in their relationship. We ask that You soften their husband's heart and open his eyes to see the love and care that has been poured into their marriage. Your Word says, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8, NIV). May this love be rekindled between them, and may respect and kindness replace the hurtful words and actions. We pray that he finds his way to You, Lord, and that his heart is transformed by Your grace.

Father, we also ask for Your guidance and peace in their work situation. They have been dedicated to their job for 20 years and now face the challenges of a new manager’s oversight and the responsibilities of training a new employee. Give them the patience and wisdom to navigate these changes, and help their new boss understand the value of trust and respect for their experience. Your Word reminds us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NIV). May they find rest in You, Lord, as they manage the extra burdens at work and the strain it has placed on their time and energy.

Lord, we ask that You also help the new employee develop the skills and urgency needed to support their team effectively. Give her the understanding and ability to fulfill her role so that the workload can be shared more equally, and the pressure on Your child can be eased.

We lift up their health to You, Lord, asking for Your healing touch upon their body. We pray for relief from anxiety, complete healing from Bell’s Palsy, and help in overcoming other health challenges, including weight concerns. You are the God who heals, and Your Word promises, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3, NIV). May Your healing power flow through every part of their body, bringing restoration and peace to their mind and spirit.

Father, we ask for Your intervention in every area of their life where they feel defeated and burdened. Remind them of Your love and Your promise that “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14, NIV). May they find comfort in knowing that You are fighting their battles, that You see their tears, and that You are working all things for their good.

Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. We trust that You will bring relief, healing, and hope into their life. May they find renewed strength, joy, and purpose in every aspect of their journey. We pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
