For Spouses to Feel Loved

Loving Lord,
Since people express love and feel love in different ways, we should expect the same to be true in marriage. The way husbands and wives communicate their love for each other varies. Help them to explore and discover this about each other. When one spouse feels loved one way, that doesn’t mean the other experiences love in the same way. One desires to spend time together doing anything at all, another cherishes thoughtful gifts. Others long to care for or be cared for, build up with words, or hug and hold hands. Sometimes this variety can be frustrating when a spouse expresses love in one way, but it isn’t received as such by the other. Instead of frustration, Lord, make spouses continually curious, searching together for all the wonderful ways to make sure their partner feels exceedingly loved. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Grasp How Much You Treasure Me

Precious Savior,
Occasionally, I struggle with my self-worth, my value, or even my place in this world. Sometimes these feelings come as the result of my own failings or perceived inadequacies, while other times they are rooted in the opinions or comments others make about me. 

Rather than pretending I can ever really control or overcome such things, lead me instead to turn from them to the only successful and sustainable solution: remembering how valuable I am to you. Though you provide for every created thing under the sun, you yourself stated how much more valuable I am to you. Since you cannot lie, give me the trust and confidence to believe that you treasure me that much. Then, regardless of others’ opinions of me – or even my opinion of myself – I can rest at peace in your opinion of me, which carries more weight to me than all other opinions combined. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
