Praying for Marriages

September 4

Praying for Marriages –

Praying for marriages – husbands and wives loving God and their spouse, for spouses to be filled with the Holy Spirit, seeking God together, for healing, healthy conflict resolution, communication, forgiveness, purity, humility, grace, compassion, mercy, patience, kindness, peace, faithfulness, and gentleness.

In marriage, a husband and wife are equal heirs of God’s sweet gift of the grace of life.

Praying for Marriages with Scripture

“Be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18b NLT * “And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:21 NLT * “For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:22 NLT * “For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.” Ephesians 5:25-26 NLT * “In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives.” 1 Peter 3:1-2 NLT * “In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.” 1 Peter 3:7

Prayer: Abba, we lift up every marriage to You, asking for those who don’t believe in You to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and for Christian marriages to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
