A prayer for you

Prayer for My Husband With Stress

When stress runs your husband ragged, here are words for the wife who wishes she could get him to rest.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
Psalm 23:2-3 (WEBBE)

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.
