Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today and thank you for Your Word. Lord, You have given us your whole counsel and wisdom in one document. You have inspired the hands of all 40 authors with Your revelation. You have preserved Your words throughout every generation. Lord, we pray that we would be people who would conform to the culture of Your kingdom instead of the world’s culture. We pray that we would found our lives on the rock of the word. We pray that we would not try to mold Your word to us...

 

Dear God,

Thank you for the gift of marriage. We pray that we can continue to build trust with each other. We pray that we would remain faithful to the vows we committed to, and strive to be ever increasing in finding ways to improve our relationship. We thank You, Lord, that You have shown us how to forgive and extend grace to one another, especially when our hearts would rather be hard. We pray that we continue to forgive each other when needed, and that through forgiving we can move...

 

Dear Lord,

We have all fallen short of Your glory. We all have sinned. We all have gone our own way. Lord, You sent Your Son to redeem us even though we were still in our sin. Through Him, we can have freedom from our guilt and shame. Teach us Lord and remind us daily of our freedom and the grace and mercy You have shown us.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today. Thank you for each other. We pray that no matter what we face in our marriage, no circumstance or situation would tear us apart. Help us to have unity, humility, and wisdom. We pray that when we are weak, we rely on You and trust You to help us. We know You will always be strong, so please help us to remember this, even in our weakness. We pray for strength. We pray that we would be a couple that endures with much patience.

In Jesus’ name AMEN!​

Dear Lord,

We pray for all Christians around the world. We pray that we would begin to walk in love for one another like never before. Lord, You tell us in Your word that in the days before You return, the love of many will grow cold. This will even be true for Christians. We pray that we would do the opposite of this. We pray that our love for one another would begin to burn more than ever. We pray that the world would know that we are Your disciples by the amazing depth of our love for...

Through the years, I’ve had multiple conversations with wives that came around to this question about marriage: What happened to kissing?! Many women believe that once men got married and know that kissing could lead to really good stuff (yay, sex!), they seem to want to skip smooching and aim for their real target from the get-go. Many ladies have...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for loving us so much. Your love is never-ending. Thank you for saving us and for inviting us into Your family. Lord, we know that we can become very distracted and distant at times, and we pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict us of this and that we would begin to prioritize our time with You. We pray that we would pursue You like never before. We pray that we would dig into Your word like never before. Reveal new and exciting truths to us from Your word. Lord, draw...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for my each other. We pray that we would encourage each other spiritually today and every day. Help us to point one another toward Your truth when we feel discouraged. We pray that we would remind each other of our worth when we feel worthless. Lord, use us to encourage one another’s faith in You. Use us to encourage each other to be in Your word. Use us to build one another up on a daily basis.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for sending your son Jesus to set us free from the bondage of sin so that we would no longer be separated from You. Lord, we pray that husbands and wives would dwell on the truth that You set us free. You have given us new life and life more abundantly. Take away our shame and our guilt and teach us to walk before You in uprightness and integrity. Remind us daily as believers that we are your sons, and daughters, and co-heirs with Christ. Lord, You are good. Thank you...
