Marriage

This prayer is adapted from The Marriage Gift: 365 Prayers For My Marriage Devotional​

Dear Lord,

Draw any sin within us to the surface of our hearts so that we can repent and be reconciled to You and to each other. Help us choose righteousness over sin, God.

Dear Lord,

Give us words to express the admiration we have for each other’s hard work, the tasks we each accomplish to keep our home running smoothly, and the intention we put into building up our family. May we choose to pursue one another as we look forward to growing together. Lord, thank You for the amazing power of our words to affirm each other.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN...

Dear Lord,

When we are frustrated with each other, are dealing with stress, or just feel disconnected, will You keep us from the sting of loneliness? Will You be our comforter and encourager?

In Jesus’ name, AMEN...

Dear Lord,

As we grow in our knowledge of Christ’s love, we hope and pray it becomes second nature to love deeply and sacrificially in our marriage.

Dear Lord,

We pray our money management brings You glory. Help us communicate respectfully so that we can hear each other’s hearts on the matter of money management and can stick to the boundaries we set as a couple. May we always hold our money loosely so that it is not an idol in our lives.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

In week 18 of our 30-week marriage devotional series on the Marriage After God podcast, we talk about something every couple will face: Pressure. Trials. Overwhelm. And we opened with a simple but honest question: Do you feel overwhelmed right now?

Because the truth is, every marriage will experience hardship. Jesus makes that clear in John 16:33:

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have...
