Marriage

Dear Heavenly Father,

Marriage is a dance. Every day my husband and I dance with each other in conversation, we dance through our daily routines, and sometimes we spontaneously dance with each other in the kitchen. Marriage is a dance. I pray that my husband and I continue to dance, that we would embrace one another as we come together to do life with purpose. I also pray for other couples, that they would embrace the dance of marriage and embrace each other in Jesus’ name AMEN!​

Dear Heavenly Father,

I try to make good decisions. I desire to make good decisions. However, sometimes I am weak, I slip, I fail, I am unwise. Thank You for Your grace and forgiveness. I am forever grateful. I pray for Your wisdom to guide me and that I can make good decisions for me, my marriage and my family. I also pray that You would anoint my husband so that he would also make good decisions, especially as he leads our family. I pray as we are faced with decisions together we can...​

 

Most years, I’ve given a gift to my readers at Christmas. This (totally frustrating, can we have a do-over) year, it’s been a bit more challenging to put it all together. So I’m posting this later than intended. But you’ve all been so nice, or properly naughty, or just here … that I’m happy to present Marriage & Mistletoe, an original, printable...

 

Dear God,

I run to You today! I lift up all wives who struggle with fear. I ask that You help us not to be afraid anymore. Help us to trust You more with our lives, with our families, with our finances, with our everything. Sometimes worry will cause so much stress we become paralyzed, fear cripples our ability to thrive, and our joy is stolen from us. Please help us to be stronger. Fill us with confidence and an unwavering faith. No matter what may come our way, no matter what the...​

 

Dear Lord,

Thank You for always pursuing me and I am sorry that sometimes it takes so long for me to respond. Fill my heart with a desire to seek You every morning and fill my husband with a desire to search You throughout his day. I pray that we can focus on You daily, as You guide us. May our...​

 

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the gift of marriage. Thank You for my husband and the gift of companionship we have. I pray that You move powerfully in our marriage and in other marriages and bless us all with the gift of companionship.

Give them peace when they hang out together and encourage them...​
