Marriage

Dear God,

Thank You for Your lovingkindness. You have shown me time and time again the love You have for me. I pray over my marriage right now. May You help me to be the best wife I can be to my husband. I pray for other wives to be a blessing to their husbands as well. Please help us not to be insecure in our relationships with our husbands. We desire to trust them, to love them, to be confident in them, and respect them. If there are any insecurities that we struggle with in marriage...

 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am sorry for not trusting in You more. I realize that my outlook on life can be better. Sometimes I complain, sometimes I feel like giving up, sometimes I forget to trust in You. Thank You for all that You have given me. Please help me to live life with joy in my heart. No matter what I face in my life or in my marriage, I want to cling to joy and to Your understanding, not my own. Please show me how to do this. Open my eyes, change my perspective, renew me, Lord.

Dear Lord,

Thank You for my marriage. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend. I pray that we always make time to have fun together. We are so good at planning and doing and rushing through life. Help us to slow down, to play more, to laugh more, and to just be close. I pray we tickle each other for entertainment and laugh so hard we cry.

Give them the strength to endure each day and the power to respond kindly to their husbands from a heart of love instead of grief. Help them to heal...

 

Dear Lord,

I also pray that everything I do blesses my husband. I pray against fear and the things that tempt me to worry. Please help me to trust You and rely on You during those times.
