In the midst of parenthood, it can be easy to get swept up in the chaos of parenting and lose sight of the joy God intended for our families. In our recent conversation with Hannah Keeley on the podcast, we discuss exactly this. Hannah—mom of seven, behavior therapist, and passionate follower of Christ—shares her journey of breaking through what she calls “Mom Fog.”

We talked about the moment Hannah had her...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for sending Your Son Jesus to die a sinners death on our behalf. Thank you also for resurrecting Him from the dead so that we too can have renewed life in Him. You deserve all the honor and praise forever and ever. THANK YOU!

Dear Lord,

We are so sorry that we have been neglecting intentional intimacy with You. The last few days and weeks have been ridiculously crazy, leaving our heads spinning and our hearts weary. Each day gets worse as we stray from You. Please grab us and draw us close to You. We pray that today we set time aside to read Your Word and pray fervently. We ask for Your help. Holy Spirit convict our hearts, giving us a passion that will never cease, and turn our hearts to You.

In Jesus’ name...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for pouring out Your grace on us by sending Your son to die for our sin. Thank you for raising him from the dead so that we can also be raised to new life. Thank you for making it possible to break free from the bondage of sin. Though we were once dead in our sin, You have made us alive to You in Jesus.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

If you have a perfect sex life in your marriage, good for you! Enjoy it with all the fervor and gratitude you can. For the other 99.99% percent, we will have moments, seasons, or years with challenges to having the pre-fall Eden experience that we’d love to get back to.

Hey, even the wonderfully inspiring husband and wife in the Song of Songs had moments when things didn’t go...

 

Dear Lord,

We have all had our moments of worry if we will have enough, and some couples may be experiencing that season right now. We pray that we would trust in Your economy and not the world’s. We pray that we would look to You as our provider, having faith that You will give us all that we need. We pray that we would be capable of managing our finances together. Help husbands and wives to trust each other with finances and protect us from the temptation of over spending. Remind us of...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for gifting us one another. We pray that our marriage strengthens daily. May we continue to grow together as friends and lovers. Sometimes we are so forgetful or neglectful when it comes to embracing intimacy. We don’t always take the time to just kiss and embrace each other romantically. We pray that You would inspire our hearts and revive our intimacy. Remind us to kiss each other daily, and to initiate without fear. Help us to love each other in romantic and...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray that husbands and wives would confess your Son as Lord in their lives. We pray they would recognize what lordship is. That if Christ is Lord in their lives, then that means that Christ is the one who makes the decisions. Christ is the one who says when and where. Christ is master. For You say, “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified...

 

Dear God,

Thank you for the opportunities You have given us in our lives. There is always something new and challenging You bring our way. Sometimes those challenges can be very stressful and even overwhelming. Give us Your peace so that we can walk through these opportunities with joy and excitement. Thank you, Lord, for always helping us and teaching us.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
