Building a Strong Marriage

DAY 5 OF 5

Surrender Together

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Choose to surrender together. Choose to humble yourselves and pray. Let God soften your heart. Let bitterness go. Let rejection go. Let the guilt, shame, and defeat of the past go. Choose to seek Him together. Choose to turn together. Turn from your old way of doing things and surrender to God together. Let God completely heal your heart and marriage. 

Couple’s Prayer:

Father God, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for our marriage. Father, we thank You for leading and guiding our heart and home. 

Lord, we turn to You. Father, our house completely turns to You. Lord, forgive us. Father, we forgive each other. Lord, we turn from anything that’s not like You and we surrender to You. 

Lord, lead our home. Father, guide our thoughts. Father, guide our language. Lord, heal our marriage. Father, heal our home. Lord, shape us into Your image. Father, shape our character after Your heart. Lord, lead every aspect of our marriage. We surrender to You. 

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
