Marriage

Dear Lord,

Please help us to control our flesh. Both of us have contributed to hurt in our relationship when we pursued the desires of our flesh. We humbly apologize to You, Lord, and to each other for the destruction we have caused because of our sin. Holy Spirit, thank You for helping us fight against temptation, for providing a way of escape from sin when it knocks at the door of our hearts.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Lord, let our marriage be a powerful force in the world to show others Your light.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

Make us considerate of what we can do to prepare for our future while also investing in the legacy we purpose to establish so that generations of our family would benefit from our choices today. Lord, we commit to using our finances to glorify You. We trust You with all that we have because we know it came from You. Keep our lives free from the love of money, and never let it be a source of contention in our marriage.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

We recognize the importance of having a strong foundation in marriage, a relationship established on a bedrock of faith. Lord, we pray You would increase our faithfulness! Anchor our hearts and secure our belief in You so that doubt has nowhere to flourish. In every season and circumstance, remind us to take up the shield of faith to protect our marriage from the flaming arrows of the Enemy.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

We recognize there is a time and place to use our phones, so we ask You to make us more aware of our usage, revealing to us the moments when we pick up our phones out of habit or boredom, not necessity. Help us to hold hands more than we hold our devices. Help us to look into each other’s eyes more than we look at our screens. Please help us to set healthy boundaries and to stick to them. Make us mindful to put down any distractions so we can give one another our hearts’ full...
