In Jesus name amen!

It’s beyond common. I hear it all the time. Wives saying that they got their husband to perform some task by promising sex in return. I’ve often joked that I can’t get my husband to do anything that way. He knows I can’t hold out long enough to use sex as a bartering chip.

But sex shouldn’t even be a bartering chip.

**Why is bartering a bad plan for sex?**

**It’s...

 

Dear Lord,

You have told us in Your Word that You have distributed to all in Your body. You have given each and every one of Your believers specific gifts and talents for us to use to glorify Your name and further Your kingdom. You desire that we would be good stewards of these gifts and talents. You want us to invest them well so that we would have a return to You. Our houses, our money, our abilities, and talents are to be used for You and Your kingdom work. We pray that we would not take...

 

Dear Lord,

Increase our faith! Fill our hearts with such an excitement for Your will. Give us faith that will allow us to follow You wherever You lead us. Take away our fear when it comes to doing the things that seem impossible. Use us to do the things that others will not.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We need more of Your love in our hearts. Help us to see each other the way You see us. Help us to see our children the way You see them. Give us Your heart for our neighbors. Give us Your heart for our friends and family. We pray that You would remind us daily of the kind of love You desire for us to have.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We must ask that You would keep our hearts humble. Remind us daily that You are the One who gives and takes away. Help us to understand the truth, that pride comes before a fall. We don’t want to fall. We want to stand tall and strong in You, Lord. Stand in our marriage, in integrity, in our faith, in our relationships. Take any pride from our hearts. Cut it out like a skilled surgeon. Lord, search our hearts and see if there is any prideful way in us. We love You Lord, and...

 

Dear Lord,

We pray that we would learn to walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. We pray that we would consider every word before they leave our lips. We pray that we would not say things out of bitterness or frustration to each other. Convict us and remind us of the calling You have given to each of us to walk with one another in an understanding way. To not be harsh with one another but to listen, and to speak patiently and kindly. Lord, keep us from fighting. May we have normal...
