As we’ve been moving through our Husband After God and Wife After God devotional series, we’ve been reminded over and over that the strength of our marriage isn’t something we muster up on our own—it’s something rooted deeply in who Christ is. In this week’s episode, we talked about confidence, worthiness, and bravery, and how each of these flows from one source: Christ alone.

The world tells us...

Please help us to be filled with Your peace and joy every day.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our precious relationship with each other. Thank you for all that we have experienced together. We pray that as we grow together and continue to experience things, we would rejoice more. We want joyful hearts, thankful hearts, and hearts that appreciate all that we are given. We pray that we would be aware of the small things just as much as the big things and that we would rejoice over them. We pray we would celebrate our victories together.

In Jesus’ name, Amen...
