Marriage

Dear Lord,

We have all had our moments of worry if we will have enough, and some couples may be experiencing that season right now. We pray that we would trust in Your economy and not the world’s. We pray that we would look to You as our provider, having faith that You will give us all that we need. We pray that we would be capable of managing our finances together. Help husbands and wives to trust each other with finances and protect us from the temptation of over spending. Remind us of...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for gifting us one another. We pray that our marriage strengthens daily. May we continue to grow together as friends and lovers. Sometimes we are so forgetful or neglectful when it comes to embracing intimacy. We don’t always take the time to just kiss and embrace each other romantically. We pray that You would inspire our hearts and revive our intimacy. Remind us to kiss each other daily, and to initiate without fear. Help us to love each other in romantic and...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray that husbands and wives would confess your Son as Lord in their lives. We pray they would recognize what lordship is. That if Christ is Lord in their lives, then that means that Christ is the one who makes the decisions. Christ is the one who says when and where. Christ is master. For You say, “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified...

 

Dear God,

Thank you for the opportunities You have given us in our lives. There is always something new and challenging You bring our way. Sometimes those challenges can be very stressful and even overwhelming. Give us Your peace so that we can walk through these opportunities with joy and excitement. Thank you, Lord, for always helping us and teaching us.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Dear Lord,

We pray that when we start to get into the crazy cycle of bickering and arguing that we would be able to recognize it and stop it. May we humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness. May we encourage one another to seek You out in prayer. Help us to bring each other before Your throne more than we bring one another before our pride. Lord, help us to stop the crazy cycle before it begins.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

I pray that as Christian husbands, we would begin to search your word daily. I pray that we would know your word deeply and intimately. I pray we would be lovers of truth and would seek after it with everything in us.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Dear Lord,

We are able to know love because we know what love looks like. We know what love does. We know who love is. Because Your Son showed us what it looks like to love by laying down His life for us, we can now love by laying down our lives for each other. Lord, put Your love in our hearts.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We pray that we would not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit with the scornful. We pray that we would delight in Your law and would meditate on it day and night. Make us like trees planted by streams of water that produce much fruit, and whose leaves never wither. We pray that we would seek after You with all of our hearts, minds, souls and strength.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for marriage. We thank You for giving us someone to go through life with. We ask that you bless husbands and wives, maturing us and growing us into the spouses you have called us to be. Help us to love one another with genuine love. Give wives a desire for their husbands and give husbands passion for their wives. May Your peace surround us and calm any storms that come to distract or test us. Holy Spirit, please lead us and help us to judge wisely. We submit our ways to...
