Marriage

Dear Lord,

One part of being a Godly spouse is not only being a blessing to our spouse, but also to others. Lord, Your desire is that we would have generous hearts and that we would be generous with our time, our talents and our treasure. We pray that we would be there for our friends when they need us. We pray that we would give to those who are truly in need. We pray that we would take the time to speak truth and love into the lives of those around us. But we also pray that we would never...

I love sex the way God created it to be. I love what sex says about our Creator and our marriage covenant. I love sex with my husband. But there are things I hate about sex. Specifically…

How Much Satan Distorts Sex​

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving us a perfect example of what it means to be servants, and to love like You love. Thank you for giving us an opportunity in marriage to be obedient to Your words. Lord, give us each a servant’s heart for one another. Help us to do this by changing our minds and hearts. We pray that we will see the difference in one another as we love by serving. When one of us doesn’t treat the other in the way we want to be treated, we pray that You will give us the...

 

Dear Lord,

We submit our finances to You. We surrender our control over them and ask that You would guide us by Your Holy Spirit. Give us hearts that desire to give to You the tithe that You ask for. Lord, give us hearts to be more generous with those around us that are in need. May we not trust in the world’s economy, but rather trust completely in You and your provision for our lives. We ask for wisdom in the area of money, and we ask that You would guide us in a debt-free mindset. We...

 

Dear Lord,

We desire wisdom. Put fear in our hearts for You. Fill us with Your truth and understanding. Lord, we want to lead our family in Your wisdom. We see now that we cannot continue on in our own wisdom. We pray that we would seek Your face in every situation and would yield to Your will. Fill us with Godly wisdom, and give us the strength to act in the truth of Your Word.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

We desire to walk in the spirit, and to honor You with our lives and marriage. Forgive us of our sins, and teach us to walk in righteousness. Lord, we will no longer allow our pride to get in the way of oneness with each other. We will stop fighting with one another, and start fighting alongside each other. Fighting for peace, hope, faith and righteousness. We will pray with one another, meditate on the word together, and seek after Your kingdom first, hand in hand. Lord, be the...

No matter what we are encountering, there will always be something, many, things to thank You for and praise You for. Please open our eyes daily to things and moments You have gifted us. Show...

 

Dear Lord,

Our hearts burn in anguish over marriages! We pray that every marriage experiences You uniquely and personally. We pray that husbands and wives experience love like they have never known. We ask that You would fulfill marriages wholly and completely. Please reveal Yourself to husbands and wives, drawing them close to You. We pray that You prepare their hearts for the purpose You have created them for. Fill their hearts with worth and confidence. Equip them with everything they...
