Dear Lord,

Give us integrity. Make us the kind of people you have called us to be, not just when others are around, but when we are alone as well. You say in your word that “he who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.” Convict us, strengthen us, and help us to walk securely.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for how loving You are to us. We pray that we can have more spiritual fruit in our lives. More love, greater joy, Your peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We know that having these will benefit not only our family, but others around us as well.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today and thank you for my spouse. Lord, I pray that I would be a husband or wife that encourages my spouse more than ever before. The enemy is constantly out to steal my spouse’s peace and joy, and desires to replace it with fear and doubt instead. Lord, help me encourage them with Your word, Your love, and with Your strength.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for blessing us with one another! Thank you for giving husbands the opportunity to be Godly leaders. We pray for all husbands out there to be Holy Spirit inspired to step up to the plate of Godly leadership. We pray that they would be advocates of grace and mercy. We pray that they would stand up and protect those that cannot protect themselves. We pray that they would stand against their own selfish desires and lustful hearts. God, help husbands to step up and lead...

 

Dear God,

Help us to pray without ceasing! Holy Spirit, guide us to pray for our marriages, children, finances, and emotions. In any and every circumstance.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Today we pray that we would understand that our presence is more powerful than our presents. Giving good gifts is a good thing, but making sure we are fully present with our family is more powerful than any gift we can ever give. You exemplified this in sending Your son Jesus to actually come and be present with His people. We also know that there are many spouses that cannot be with their families, but wish they could, and we pray that you would comfort them and their families...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray for every husband and wife, that they would begin to walk in the Spirit on a daily basis. We pray that we would not allow our flesh to guide our decisions and actions. Lord, make us men and women who live by Your spirit.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16

Dear God,

We need more time. We feel like there is so much to do, yet not enough time to do it. Why is this such an issue for us? Are we not organizing our time well? Did we put too much on our plate? Please help us! We know we are physically limited by how much we can accomplish each day, but we also feel like the things we desire to do are good things! We want to exercise, read more, teach our children, and love each other well. We pray that You would help us to maximize our time...
