Lord, my husband is stretched thin by stress — too much to do, too little margin, and a body and mind that rarely get to switch off. Your word paints the rest I long for him to know: green pastures, still waters, a soul restored. Lead my husband there, even in the middle of a demanding season. I am not asking You to erase his responsibilities; I am asking You to give him real rest within them, and the wisdom to set down what is not actually his to carry. Help me make our home a still water rather than one more source of pressure. Show me when to gently urge him to slow down, and when to simply shoulder something for him without a word. Guard his health, his sleep, his sense of humour. And steady us as a team, so the stress draws us together instead of quietly wearing us down apart. Restore my husband's soul, Lord, and lead him beside still waters. Amen.
A prayer for you
