Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our marriage and thank You for the love that You show us through each other. Lord, we pray against the spirit of pride. We often allow our hearts and flesh to walk in pride. It makes us believe that we don’t need to be the ones to apologize or admit that we were wrong. Pride keeps us from seeing each other in purity, and keeps us from fellowship with You. We pray that every married couple would lay down their pride out of a fear of You, Lord. We pray we would walk...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our children. They are such a blessing. Lord, we pray that we would raise our children to know You. We pray that we would teach them by word and by action. Lord, inspire us with new ways to make Your Word come alive to them. Teach us how to show them who You are and who Jesus is. We pray that our children’s hearts and minds would be prepared to receive Your gospel. Protect them from the lies of this world, and fill them with Your truth.

In Jesus’ name, Amen...

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day and the opportunity to love each other. We know we are not always the best at loving one another, but we do start out every day trying! We pray that You help us to be better with each passing day. We specifically ask that Your Holy Spirit would help us to have more patience with each other. Often times we are short with one another. We don’t want to be impatient husbands or wives. We want to lovingly endure, wait with self-control, and respect each other...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray that You would impress on the hearts of husbands and wives the vital importance of sex and romance. Show husbands how necessary it is that we pursue our wives emotionally and romantically. We want them to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are on our minds daily and that we desire to show them in very meaningful ways that our thoughts and hearts are towards them. Make them thoughtful and creative. Lord, we also pray that You would show wives how important sex is to...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the gift of community. We pray for Christian marriages around the world and ask that You would guide each and every one of them into a biblical and Godly community. We pray that they would begin to seek out fellowship that would encourage, inspire, challenge and grow them into the men and women You desire them to be.

In Jesus name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We lift up our hearts to You. Sometimes we struggle with fear and worry. It grips our minds and our hearts. It erodes our faith. Please help us not to fear! We want to have hearts that trust in You completely. We pray that our faith increases. We pray that we would not have any fear about decisions we have to make or the things that are going on in this world. We pray that we would fear You alone. We want to do everything in faith and we are confident that having more faith will...

Plenty of Christians proclaim a strong belief, read the Word of God, and try to live godly lives. However, when it comes to the bedroom, we may be tempted to base our beliefs on traditional viewpoints about sex, our gut feelings about the issue, or secular teachings about sexuality.

Let’s look at each of these.

The Way It’s Been Done​

I’ve got nothing...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our lives. We know that You have equipped us with knowledge, talent, and resources. We pray that we can use all that You have given to us to help others. Use us to draw others toward You. We pray that helping others and seeing them succeed blesses You and honors You. We pray we would be generous with our time and what we have to offer to those in need, especially each other and our family.

In Jesus’ name Amen!​
