Marriage Prayer Day 7

Mark 14:38

Keep alert and pray that you will be spared from this time of testing.  For your spirit is eager enough, but your humanity is feeble. 
(TPT)

 We pray against any temptations to sin that we may be facing.  We pray that the Lord would guide our actions, thoughts, words and deeds.  We pray that the Lord would give us clarity of vision to see the devils lies.  We pray that we would recognize our weaknesses and our inability to do battle alone and that we would turn to the Lord for help in keeping our marriage sacred.

Psalm 147:3

He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.
(NIV)

 

We pray that we would realize the importance of sharing

our feelings with each other both good and bad. 

We pray that if there are any

emotional wounds in our lives that the

Lord would bind them. 

We pray that the Lord would replace any

resentment with compassion

and joy and that we would move forward in love.

James 1:5

And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and He will give it!  He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but He will overwhelm with His generous grace.
(TPT)

We pray for wisdom in any decisions we have to make and we lay them at God's feet.  We pray for our discernment to know God's plans and whether or not our plans line up.   We pray that we are at peace with God's will and direction.  We pray for a  willingness to change if necessary.

Marriage Prayer Day 4

Mark 11:25

And whenever you stand praying, if you find you carry something in your heart against another person, release him and forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also release you and forgive you of your faults.
(TPT)

 

Father, Your love and compassion never runs out.  May we deal with each other as a reflection of how You deal with us, in gentleness and forgiveness.  Help us to forgive each other for any hurts and/or harm we have caused each other.  Teach us to flow in a constant state of grace and forgiveness.

Marriage Prayer Day 3

1Peter 5:8-9

Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for it's prey to devour.  Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith.  For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.
(TPT) 

 

We pray that the Lord would guard our hearts and minds.  Father we know that the enemy wants nothing more than to destroy our marriage and tear down the plans You have for us.  We pray that You would protect us from the evil one.  And cover our marriage and home in the security of the Holy Spirit. 

Help us to resist the enemy and stand strong in our faith. 

We recognize You are our strength

and commit our lives and marriage to You.

 

 

 

Marriage Prayer Day 2

Isaiah 40: 31

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
(NIV)

 Heavenly Father we recognize that at times we rely on our own strength and insight to solve problems in life and in our marriage.  We realize the failure of these attempts. Help us to always rely on your strength and wisdom.  Help us to understand that problems are an opportunity to grow closer to you.

Father we lay our marriage at your feet and seek your wisdom to

overcome the challenges in our lives.

Marriage Prayer Day 1

Welcome to 30 days of prayers for your marriage.  We have been married for 40 years and consider our relationship with each other second only to our relationship with God.  Marriage is an image of God's relationship with (us) his body on earth.  The enemy wants nothing more than to create insecurities in our marriage.  He wants to break down trust and create doubt.  He wants to erode our confidence in each other.  We hope that the next 30 days of prayers will help you find love, strength and healing where it's needed. 

 

Psalm 101:3-4

I refuse to gaze on that which is vulgar.  I despise works of evil people and anything that moves my heart away from you.  I will not let evil hold me in its grip.  Every perverse and crooked way I have put away from my heart, for I will have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness.

 

 

We pray for strength to keep our eyes on you Lord and on each other.  Keep us from the lusts that the world uses as entertainment.  We pray that when things are set before our eyes that are evil we will quickly look away and not take that second glance.  We pray the Lord would give us pure hearts and fill us with His Spirit and flush out all that is not of Him.
