Morning Prayer for a Couple at Work

A fantastic way to support a couple at work is to include them in your morning prayer. Prayer can help couples strengthen their relationship and show appreciation for one another while working. But sometimes, prayer is often neglected and overlooked.

You might want to pray for a couple you know and care about at work, but you’re unsure about this couple’s specific needs and feel unsure of how you can effectively pray for them. Here is a short sample prayer that can serve as your guide:

“Dear God, I pray for this couple at work. I ask that You give them the necessary strength to endure any stress in their workplace. Please help them focus and achieve their goals. Also, please teach them how to support each other. I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

While the sample prayer above serves as a good starting point, there are many other things you can do to pray for a couple in your workplace. To get additional inspiration and motivation, keep reading and learn more.

How Do You Pray for a Couple?

When you pray for a couple at work, it is essential to remember that they are not just one person but two! You should pray for both of them equally and specifically. This can help you focus on each person’s specific needs. 

The best way to do this is to get to know each person more. Spend time checking up on them and be sensitive to what they share about their life. You can invite them to pray with you and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. In your quiet time alone, pray for them individually and then as a couple. 

There can be a lot of ways to pray for a couple, but here are some key points to remember: 

1. Pray that God gives you opportunities to know the couple well.

You may need to spend time with them and get to know them better. You can do this by inviting the couple for lunch, doing an activity together, or simply spending time with this couple in conversation. This can help you understand their specific needs and better understand how God wants you to pray for them. 

Be motivated that God is calling you to be His hands and feet, so you must be able to understand other people’s needs and desires. It’s also essential that you can help others when they’re in need—not just when it comes to financial resources or emotional support, but also spiritual guidance.

As a Christian, you can offer this couple spiritual comfort through prayer and the Word of God. You can also be available for conversation if they are struggling with something specific or deep-rooted within themselves—and in so doing grow closer to them.

2. Pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The best way to ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit is through quiet time alone with God. You can read the Bible, meditate on His Word, and then pray for this couple. As you pray, ask to be led by the Holy Spirit, who will help you understand how God wants you to pray for this couple. Remember that the Holy Spirit is God’s voice within you [Romans 8:26 (NIV)]. He is always with you and ready to guide and direct your thoughts, words, and actions. 

3. Pray for the couple’s relationship from God’s perspective.

God sees a couple as one soul that He created. He wants them to live in harmony with each other and be faithful to Him. The Bible tells us that in marriage, a husband is not complete without his wife [1 Corinthians 11:11 (NIV)]. God views marriage as a picture of His relationship with His people, just like Jesus Christ describes himself as the vine, while we are the branches [John 15:5 (NIV)]. 

The branches cannot propagate without being connected to a vine. God expects this in a relationship between a man and a woman, specifically in marriage. Their connection will keep them growing as one. God wants a husband and wife to be united in both mind and purpose. He wants them to have the same life goals and do what is best for each other.

4. Pray for their spiritual growth.

Praying for spiritual growth means praying that a couple will grow in their faith, know Christ profoundly, and experience Him personally.

In your prayer, ask God for them to always be united in their faith, with the same goals and values. Pray that they will continue to grow in their relationship with God and prioritize seeking God’s kingdom [Matthew 6:33 (NIV) above everything else.

For a couple to seek God’s kingdom as they work together is another way of saying that the two will put Him at the center of their relationship and that they will be committed to living a life that honors God. This can only happen when a couple is willing to put God first in all aspects of their lives.

It is important for any couple to have opportunities to serve the Lord together and reflect on Jesus Christ as they minister to others. A closer relationship with God will help them be more sensitive to His will for their lives and enable them to work as one in all they do.

5. Pray for their relationship with each other.   

When praying for a couple, pray that they can communicate clearly and honestly with one another. Pray that this couple will always be willing to listen to each other and be sensitive to one’s needs and desires. Pray that they will be able to forgive each other when they make mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Also, you can ask God for their love for each other to grow stronger, deeper, more mature, and more committed.

6. Pray specifically for their individual needs. 

As you get to know this couple better, you might discern what the individual needs of each one are. You can also understand their needs by letting them know that you are praying for them and asking them directly about their specific prayer requests. 

You might find it hard to find the right timing to approach this couple, but remember that the Lord will always lead you to the right situation. This will allow you to share your thoughts about praying for them as a couple. 

After knowing their prayer requests, include them in your prayers. However, if you don’t know their specific needs yet, you may want to cover these things: the couple’s physical health, safety, mental well-being, financial blessings, joy, and inner peace. 

7. Pray for them to know how to pray for each other.

You can pray that they will develop a habit of praying for each other regularly and that their prayers will always be in agreement [Matthew 18:19 (NIV)]. This habit is one of the most powerful ways to keep a relationship strong. Through prayer, there can be freedom from bondage and deception of the enemy that might cause a couple to have future conflicts. 

8. Pray for their shared calling.

You can pray for this couple to know God’s will for their lives together and pray that they will obey His call. You can also pray for God to grant them wisdom, strength, courage, and joy as they fulfill this calling together. You can pray that God will open up opportunities for them to serve together and glorify the Lord through their relationship. Pray that they will find ways to use their gifts and strengths to help others, serve as a good testimony of having Christ as the center of their relationship, and inspire people to know God more. 

9. Pray for them to persevere through the hard times of life.

Relationships are hard work, and a couple will inevitably face difficulties. You can pray that God will give them perseverance through such trials and difficult times together. When things get tough, their faith in each other may be tested, but by continuing to pray for them, they can remain strong in the face of adversity.

You can pray for them to have the strength to overcome any obstacles that come their way. If there are trials in their relationship, you can pray that God will use these times to draw them closer rather than push them apart. You can also pray that they will be able to put aside any differences they might have and work through them peacefully. Instead of dwelling on their issues, you can pray that they will focus on what is essential: God’s love and their love for one another.

10. Pray that you will get a chance to praise God together.

If you are close enough to the couple, you can invite them to pray with you and have a fellowship together that will glorify God. This fellowship can be a form of bible study, where you can learn from each other and grow in your Christian walk.

God deserves all our praise and deserves to be honored by every Christian couple. Include in your prayer together gratitude for God for bringing them together, and ask him to continue blessing and guiding the couple in their relationship.

Conclusion

God wants the best for all his children in a relationship or marriage. Praise God for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ so that we can freely come to God’s presence and commune with Him through prayer. However, remember that the points mentioned above are just a few of the many ways you can pray for a couple. We pray that this resource will help you in your desire to be more effective in praying for another couple at work.
