(DH stands for Dear Husband.)
Heavenly Father, my DH is not having a good period. He has been complaining for months now that his work is getting too hard for him. Monday he tried to play soccer, but he pulled a muscle in his side and is in pain. Yesterday (Tuesday) he was as moody as I have ever seen him. I think he really wants a simpler job, one that doesn't demand such a long and terrible commute, and one that doesn't tax his brain past its abilities. I don't blame him. Work is a curse, I believe, based on what You said in Genesis: "through painful toil you will eat food from it [the ground] all the days of your life." I am blessed to find joy in my work, and may I ask that You grant the same--or at least similar--joy to my husband?
Father, encourage my husband for Your sake. Please bring him a good measure of relief from his pain and his burdensome labor. Restore to him the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51). Correct whatever thinking errors are contributing to his dismay and allow him to return to his typical good cheer. I have to get back to work now, or I would continue to pray/write longer. I know You understand. I am asking this for my husband out of my deep love for him and my deeper love for You. In Your Son's name and for the sake of Your kingdom~Amen.
