To Enrich Prayer Lives Within Marriages

Gracious Father,
When a man and a woman are joined together in marriage, the two become one. This unity, this oneness, is expressed in many different ways between a husband and his wife. One area in which any marriage can grow in expressing that unity is prayer. Strengthen the prayer lives of husbands and wives, not just individually, but together as well. When husbands and wives pray together, and their prayers are directed by your Word, they are brought closer to each other and to you. When they share the concerns that weigh on them and reveal requests from their hearts, they open a window into each other that fosters intimacy and connection. Draw spouses together frequently in prayer, hear their prayers, and enrich their marriages as you bless their prayers with your loving responses.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Enrich My Time in the Word

Spirit of Enlightenment,
I treasure my time in the Word. Nevertheless, I still fall into the trap of thinking there are so many other things that need my attention first, which leads me to put off your Word until “later.” When this happens, the result is often that “later” never comes, or when it does, I have so much on my mind that my time in the Word is unfocused or distracted by other concerns. Guard me from the lie of “later.”

Let me approach my daily time in Scripture like first fruit giving, so that it gets the first and the best of my time. When I am reading it and reflecting on it, enlighten and enrich me, uncovering for me precious promises and truths to feed and refresh my soul. Keep me from treating time in your Word like another “to-do” item on my list. Instead, use that time to deepen the roots of my faith and strengthen my spirit, building me up and maturing me to live for you to produce the abundant harvest of good works which you prepared in advance for me to do. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
