Do you think it'll do any good for me to wish/want that he gets the job?
Let's assume that you have full power over whether he gets the job or not.
Are you sure it is the best thing for him to get that job? It's hard to answer this question unless you can see how the future will unfold for the two of you.

A few scenarios:
1) He meets a woman at the new job, has an affair and you two separate.
2) His car gets hit by a truck on the way to work and he dies.
3) He loves the job, climbs the corporate ladder, makes a ton of money, retires rich and you two live happily ever after.

Assuming that you have power over the outcome, it is still in his best interest for both you and your husband to intend for "the best outcome" whatever that may be. Without seeing what is coming down the road, intending/wishing/praying for a specific outcome is rather dangerous, don't you think?
