Marriage

Dear Lord,

We know there will always be trials in our lives and marriage, but we get frustrated when there are things happening outside of our control. Lord, help us to trust in You with those things. Help us to lean on Your understanding instead of our own. Give us Your peace when these trials make us feel crazy and angry. You are still on the throne and the struggles in this life are nothing to be compared to the coming glory when Your son returns.

In Jesus’ name amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for Your Word. You have taught us so much about righteousness. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would transform our character so that we will be Holy like Jesus!

Dear Lord,

It is hard being patient. It is hard waiting to hear Your voice. It is hard waiting for Your will to be done. But You have called us to wait on You, and by doing so our strength will be renewed. We will learn to trust You and our faith will grow. Lord, help us to wait on You instead of rushing into things without You. We want You in everything we do. We want to be in Your will in every decision we make. You are our Lord and King.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We are so blessed! Thank you for one another. Although we have a great marriage, we would both agree that we need more romance in our marriage. So we ask You for inspiration. Please fill our minds with creative ways to romance each other, to make special moments together, and to bless each other. Help us to be aware of each other’s needs and desires, and aware of how we can fulfill them. We pray for more romance in our marriage.

In Jesus’ name AMEN!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for children! Thank you for the opportunities You have given to husbands and wives to live out an example of Your love. Continue to equip parents with resources and skills to raise their kids. May husbands and wives pour into their children, value them, and teach them Your ways. Please protect children from hostile environments, and if they are ever in danger, please divinely intervene.

Dear Lord,

I pray for my marriage. I pray specifically for my sex life. I ask that you would help me to improve sexual intimacy in my marriage. I am sure there is something I can do to help make it better. Sometimes, I just want my spouse to do everything or make the changes in our relationship, but I am aware that I have responsibilities too. I want to be a person who can fulfill my spouse in all areas, including sexual intimacy. May you bless this part of our marriage, and may we both...​

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our marriage and thank You for the love that You show us through each other. Lord, we pray against the spirit of pride. We often allow our hearts and flesh to walk in pride. It makes us believe that we don’t need to be the ones to apologize or admit that we were wrong. Pride keeps us from seeing each other in purity, and keeps us from fellowship with You. We pray that every married couple would lay down their pride out of a fear of You, Lord. We pray we would walk...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our children. They are such a blessing. Lord, we pray that we would raise our children to know You. We pray that we would teach them by word and by action. Lord, inspire us with new ways to make Your Word come alive to them. Teach us how to show them who You are and who Jesus is. We pray that our children’s hearts and minds would be prepared to receive Your gospel. Protect them from the lies of this world, and fill them with Your truth.

In Jesus’ name, Amen...
