Here’s an idea for you to think about: If we knew everything that God knows, we would answer our prayers exactly like God does. Let that soak in. We see life through our eyes and pray accordingly. God sees the big picture and answers accordingly. If we truly believe that God is good, which He is, then we need to believe that His answers to our prayers are perfect for us. 

When Nancy and I talk about things we would like to pray for or need to pray for, the list can be a little overwhelming. What about you and your spouse? What would your list look like? Even if your list may seem a little (or a lot) overwhelming, try this. First, keep your prayer list, pray, and trust our good God to answer every prayer perfectly for you. Second, pick one thing for the two of you to pray about. Use the following questions as your criteria for this “one thing”: Is it something only God can do? From what you know about the Bible, is your “one thing” something that God would want for you? Are you willing to do your part? When God answers, how will you respond to Him? Will you look for other blessings that come your way from God in this process? What is your “one thing” in prayer that God will use to change your marriage? 

Today’s One Thing: Pray that God will use the “one thing” you are praying for to change your marriage.
