Marriage

Dear Lord,

We lift up couples who are struggling with their finances. You know every detail of their lives and their every need. We pray that You would guide them and show them how to balance their finances. We pray that your Holy Spirit would teach them how to manage their money and how to trust each other with it. Let Your power and wisdom fill them so that they would be transformed and become good stewards with all that You have given them.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Remind them that Your strength is made perfect when we are weak.

In Jesus’ name, amen!​

Lately, I’ve been reading academic papers about faith and sex. I don’t usually pick up detailed studies with tiny font, research lingo, and statistics for my summer reading, but it’s for a project I’m involved with. And it turns out that it’s much more interesting than it sounds.

The main question of several of these papers is how “religiosity” impacts satisfaction with...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for Your patience, Your kindness and Your goodness. You are the perfect Father and You know how to give Your children good gifts. Father, You have blessed our family more than we could have ever imagined and more than we could ever deserve. Thank you for pouring out Your love into our lives. Not only do You take care of our physical needs, You have also taken care of our spiritual and emotional needs. Most importantly, thank you for giving us the most valuable thing You...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today. Thank you for all that You have blessed us with. We love each other and we are so grateful for the gift of marriage. We pray that we would continually find new ways to love each other. We pray that we as a couple would walk out Your calling in our life to love not only each other, but also our brothers and sisters in Christ. We pray that we would take Your words seriously when You ask us to have a debt of love to one another.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for Your love and kindness. Lord, we give You our heart and our desires. We pray that we will forever be yielded to You. We don’t want to lean on our own understanding in this world.

In Jesus’ name, amen!
