We want to be the husband and wife that You desire us to be.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for Your word. Thank you for inspiring every word in the Bible. You have given us Your word to transform us and to renew us. It is through Your word that we find freedom and power to walk out our faith. Lord, we pray that we would not try and change the meaning of Your word to fit our lifestyle and way of thinking, but rather allow Your word to change us to fit into Your way of thinking and living. Transform us from the inside out.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We pray that we would grow in spiritual maturity. We pray that we would pursue the knowledge of Your word and would learn to walk out Your wisdom daily in our lives and marriages.

Dear Lord,

There are many things in this life that can cause us to be afraid. But Lord, You have given us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

Dear Lord,

You have graciously distributed gifts among Your body. You have given each one of us not only Your spirit, but also spiritual gifts. You have given some the gift of teaching, and some the gift of hospitality. Others, You have given the gift of generosity. Lord, You have given us all these things and so much more for the edification of the body. We pray that we would seek diligently how we can grow and mature in these gifts, as well as how You would have us use them in the church...
