Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for children! Thank you for the opportunities You have given to husbands and wives to live out an example of Your love. Continue to equip parents with resources and skills to raise their kids. May husbands and wives pour into their children, value them, and teach them Your ways. Please protect children from hostile environments, and if they are ever in danger, please divinely intervene. For husbands and wives who cannot conceive, please reveal Your will and purpose for...

 

Dear Lord,

I pray for my marriage. I pray specifically for my sex life. I ask that you would help me to improve sexual intimacy in my marriage. I am sure there is something I can do to help make it better. Sometimes, I just want my spouse to do everything or make the changes in our relationship, but I am aware that I have responsibilities too. I want to be a person who can fulfill my spouse in all areas, including sexual intimacy. May you bless this part of our marriage, and may we both...​

 

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...
