Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today and thank you for our lives. You have always been with us, and You have always been for us. Thank you. We pray for inspiration today. We feel like we have not had passion, or drive to dig into Your word and discover Your truth that is in it. We want to disciple our kids with creativity and ask that You would fill us with ideas of how we can share You with them. If there is anything in our lives hindering us from living with excitement and drive, then please...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray that You would humble us and bring us to a new place of understanding when it comes to our relationships with other believers. Lord, You have said that anyone who wants to be greatest in the kingdom would become the least. Anyone who would be first must be last. Your word also tells us to serve one another in love and to treat others as better than ourselves. May we walk in these commands more than ever. May we submit our hearts and minds to Your will for our lives. The...

 

Dear Lord,

Use us today to bless someone. Use us today to be a light in this dark world. Lord, use us to encourage and love on someone who needs You. Use us.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We feel like we have so many things in our lives that need our attention. However, we know that pursuing one another should always remain a priority. We are sorry Lord that we have not been good at this lately. We pray You would help us to keep each other at the front of our minds. We pray that making time for each other would be a huge desire of our hearts, to the point where we can’t do anything else unless we make one another a priority. Our marriage means too much to us to...

 

Dear Lord,

As Christians, we are commanded to love one another. It is Your heart for us that we would be in one mind and one spirit with others in the body of Christ. We pray that we would take efforts today to walk in close unity with other believers. We pray that we would not forsake the gathering of Christians, but would commit now more than ever. Lord, make us one. Make us strong in love. May we give preference to other believers as Your word says, and may we serve others more and more...

Dear Lord,

You have called us to be perfect as Your son Jesus is perfect, and at the same time You understand that we still have this body of flesh that is constantly battling the spirit that You have given us. Equip us to continue in our pursuit of the righteousness of Christ. Teach us to walk in the spirit and not the flesh. Remind us that we have been set free from the chains of sin and can now freely walk in righteousness. We will not be perfect right away, but You are faithful to...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray against any envy or desire that would cause us to be discontent in our marriages, careers or possessions. Lead us to be content with the blessings that You have given us. Help us to keep this scripture in our hearts and minds at all times: Hebrews 13:5 “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,'” Thank you Lord for saying...

 

Dear Lord,

You have given each and every one of Your people certain amount of giftings and talents. Lord, You desire that we would not hide our talents in the ground, but would use them to grow Your kingdom. You want us to invest them and steward them wisely. We pray that we as Your people would not be afraid to use our gifts and to step out in faith for Your purposes. Give us more and more opportunities to use them to bless others and to bless You. Use us Lord and be well pleased with us...

The most common sex struggle I hear from spouses is a mismatch in sexual desire. One wants sex more often than their mate, while the other wants it less often than their mate.

Roughly speaking, it’s about half of marriages where the husband wants sex more, about a quarter where the wife wants sex more, and about a quarter where husband and wife are...
