Marriage

Dear Lord,

We pray for husbands and wives who struggle with intimacy. Any intimacy issues, whether with the husband or wife, we ask that you restore and redeem. Intimacy is a beautiful thing in marriage and when it’s not happening it affects the rest of marriage. Please give us a passionate desire for true and intentional intimacy, and the ability to initiate!

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

We pray that we can control our passion and deliver our concerns appropriately.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

God, please help us and all of the other husbands and wives in this world to step up and take their responsibility with sincerity and honor. I believe that if all the husbands and wives in this world would turn towards you with their whole heart and would take hold of what...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for reconciling us to Yourself. We are in awe of Your great love for us. We know we don’t deserve what You have offered us and we know we certainly could never earn it.

It is challenging to love unconditionally, but You have provided an amazing example. Please equip us to love each other like you love us...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for sending Your Son to die for our sins. Thank you that through the power of the Holy Spirit we can walk in freedom, purity and, victory. Lord, You have given us the victory over sin and death, and You have given us victory over lust. Because of the power that now lives in us, we can walk pure and holy before You. Lord, if we have a moment when we forget who we are and the freedom we have and choose to walk in impurity, Your Son is our advocate before You and Your Holy...

 

Dear Lord,

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
