Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for blessing us with one another! Thank you for giving husbands the opportunity to be Godly leaders. We pray for all husbands out there to be Holy Spirit inspired to step up to the plate of Godly leadership. We pray that they would be advocates of grace and mercy. We pray that they would stand up and protect those that cannot protect themselves. We pray that they would stand against their own selfish desires and lustful hearts. God, help husbands to step up and lead...

Dear Lord,

Today we pray that we would understand that our presence is more powerful than our presents. Giving good gifts is a good thing, but making sure we are fully present with our family is more powerful than any gift we can ever give. You exemplified this in sending Your son Jesus to actually come and be present with His people. We also know that there are many spouses that cannot be with their families, but wish they could, and we pray that you would comfort them and their families...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray for every husband and wife, that they would begin to walk in the Spirit on a daily basis. We pray that we would not allow our flesh to guide our decisions and actions. Lord, make us men and women who live by Your spirit.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16

Dear God,

We need more time. We feel like there is so much to do, yet not enough time to do it. Why is this such an issue for us? Are we not organizing our time well? Did we put too much on our plate? Please help us! We know we are physically limited by how much we can accomplish each day, but we also feel like the things we desire to do are good things! We want to exercise, read more, teach our children, and love each other well. We pray that You would help us to maximize our time...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for my spouse. Thank you that they are so perfect for me. We love each other so much and want to serve one another. We desire to be more romantic with each other. To pursue one another as you pursue us. Give us Your creative spirit to love each other in new and romantic ways. Lead us in this Lord.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our lives and the work You have given us to do. Lord, give us the wisdom we need to accomplish the tasks before us today. Give my spouse the wisdom they need to succeed in their work. Lord, You say if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask You and You will give it generously. So we are asking for all the wisdom you can pour out on us.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Today we pray for husbands and wives. So often the communication in marriage is a catalyst for arguments. We pray for better and more effective communication between spouses. May Your Holy Spirit anoint each of us so that we respond to each other in love, grace, and kindness. May the tone of our voices represent the respect we have for each other. Help us to be patient, understanding, and full of wisdom as we communicate with our spouses.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

We can’t imagine the kind of suffering that is happening around the world and in marriages. There is death, sickness, poverty, loneliness, and countless other scenarios causing suffering to so many. Lord, bring those who are going through these things peace and strength: peace to know that You are near, and strength to continue to walk with You.

In Jesus’ name, amen!
