One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DaySample

There is absolutely nothing to lose and a lot to gain

Devotional Content: 

When was the last time you prayed for your spouse? There are so many ways you can pray. If you need ideas for what to pray about, simply ask your spouse if there’s anything he or she would appreciate you praying for. Your prayers can also come from just being a student of your spouse. Pray for them in their work, as a spouse, as a parent, or for something they are struggling with. I think you will be amazed at what happens. Praying for your spouse connects the two of you with God. It helps you come alongside your spouse. 

When I am praying for Nancy, I look at her differently. Praying for her draws me closer to her. It shows me that we are on the same team and are working together as we navigate life. The really cool thing is that it puts us in a partnership with God. I promise you that God will show up when you invite His involvement in your marriage through prayer! Does that mean that God will answer your prayer for your spouse exactly the way you are praying? Maybe, but maybe not. What it does mean is that God will answer your prayer in the way that is perfect for you and your spouse. Try praying today and see what happens. There is absolutely nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
