How to Pray for Your Husband’s Ability to Provide (With Scriptures & Prayers)

One of the heaviest burdens many husbands carry is the responsibility to provide for their families. Even when they don’t say it out loud, the pressure is often present, especially during difficult seasons. Financial uncertainty, health challenges, work stress, or unmet expectations can weigh heavily on a man’s heart. As a wife, one of the most loving things you can do is pray for your husband’s ability to provide; for example, his trust in God, finances, diligence, and hard work.

Jesus reminds us not to live in anxiety over provision:

“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.”
Matthew 6:25 (KJV)
