Marriage

Dear Lord,

I humble myself before You in prayer, seeking restoration, comfort, peace, and energy. So often tiredness strikes marriage, I respond to my husband from selfishness and have no energy to serve him. Please renew my heart so that I am not too exhausted to love well. Give strength to my muscles, alertness to my mind, passion in my heart. Thank You Lord for sustaining me, and giving me exactly what I need. May Your power move through me and through my marriage daily in Jesus’ name...
