Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank You for another day to honor You. We pray our marriage honors You. We pray we would be intentional to choose our words and our actions carefully.

We pray we would be quick to listen and good at listening to each other. We pray we would make the most of our time together. We pray Your will...

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the companionship we share in marriage. Thank You for our friendship with each other. We pray we would not feel lonely in marriage. If there is conflict creating distance in our relationship please help us to resolve it and reconcile.

We pray we would get better at communicating how we feel with each other. If we do feel...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray we would not be quick to be angry and we pray we would not be quick to be offended by each other. Please help us to quickly gain control when we feel angry. Please help us to walk in Your Spirit with every response we give to each other and others in Jesus’ name AMEN!
