Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the complexity of Your word and yet how simple it can be. Thank you for the complexity of humans, and yet how simple we can be. Lord, You have created us with so much depth and beauty. We pray that as husbands and wives we would learn to understand the complexities of intimacy with each other. Help us to be intimate with each other not only physically, but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We pray that we would pursue one another physically by letting the...

 

Dear Lord,

Your word tells us that “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.” Lord, we pray that we would heed what Your word says and tend to the field that You gave us, and take good care of our spouse and children. We pray that we would not follow worthless pursuits. Keep the poverty of a broken family far from our home and instead bring to our marriage and family a harvest of love and joy.

In Jesus’ name, amen...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for sending Your son to the cross for our salvation and freedom. Thank you for showing us grace and mercy. Lord, You are worthy of all praise and we desire to know You more. We pray that we would begin a revolution in our marriage. We pray that our hearts would be revived and rejuvenated. We will walk in integrity and uprightness. We will stand for each other.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the complete redeeming work of Your son Jesus Christ. Without His sacrifice and resurrection, we would still be dead in our sin and slave to its desires. Lord, because of You, we have been set free from the bonds of sin and can now walk in complete freedom. We pray that we would walk in this victory every day. We know that even though we are no longer slaves to sin, we still have the ability to choose to sin and we acknowledge that sin is not something that just...

Dear Lord,

There are days that we seem to be easily frustrated and angered, and when we have less patience and understanding. Our emotions seem to run wild, and we feel as though we have no control. Our family suffers when we act like this. Love is hindered in our home when we walk in this way. Lord, forgive us for allowing our flesh to run out of control. God, we know that You desire for us to walk in complete control of our spirit. You desire that we would yield it to You every moment of...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for my spouse. Thank you that You have used them to teach me how to be more like You. God, teach me and inspire me to love my spouse in new and special ways. Teach me to think of them more often. God, I want my spouse to feel so cherished and loved by me.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We pray for husbands and wives to keep Your words deep in their hearts. We pray that they would know Your Word and love it as well. Lord, we pray that we would not only know Your Word but that we would do Your Word. May we walk in the commands that You gave us. You say in Your word that the one who hears and obeys the commands that You gave are the ones that love you and Lord, we love you.

In Jesus’ name, amen!
