Sex Is Good a 5-Day Devotional for Wives by Debra CheekSample

We Can Pray About Sex

Scripture: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God - Philippians 4:6

Our society has done significant damage to the topic of sex. It’s been perverted, exploited, and portrayed as unimportant, but sex was God’s idea - created by Him and for us.

Sex is important to God. It isn’t just a physical activity that doesn’t mean anything. It is also a spiritual activity that God cares about.

Maybe you have never considered that? God cares about sex. He wants you to have a healthy, thriving sex life with your spouse. And He welcomes your prayers about it.

Yes, you can pray about your sex life. You can invite Him into this area and turn to His word for answers, instructions, and clarity.

The issue with our silence about sex is all-inclusive. We don’t talk about it within our marriages, friendships, or religious circles, but we also aren’t talking to God about it.

But we should.

When we have malfunctions with our cars or electronic devices, we have no issue consulting the manuals. After all, who knows how the product works more than the manufacturer? The same is true for our marriages and sex. Who knows the solutions for our sexual issues better than the One who created it in the first place?

Friend, we can talk to God about sex. We can ask Him our questions and pour our concerns out to Him in prayer. He invites us to bring our every request to Him, and He promises to answer.

Reflection:

What issue regarding sex can you turn into a prayer?

What scripture can you find that speaks to a sexual concern that you have right now?
