Praying For Your MarriageSample

A great area to start praying for as regards to your marriage is the area of spiritual growth. If this part of your relationship can get stronger, it will positively impact the rest.

Be diligent to encourage each other and pray for each other regarding this area of spiritual growth. As you grow in Christ and become transformed and renewed in your minds through the power of the Holy Spirit, you will discover strength, contentment, joy and peace in your marriage like never before. 

Just like a small child must practice cartwheel after cartwheel after cartwheel before it becomes second nature and can be performed well, married couples must routinely exercise and develop their spiritual insights and muscles in order to fully and freely live in the art of mutual grace and spiritual maturity. Here is a guided prayer to kick-start your first portion of prayer - praising God! 

Praising God 

“Heavenly Father, you desire that we grow in both Your grace and in our understanding and knowledge of who You are. In doing so, we become transformed into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). We also discover the process of trusting that You work all things out for those who are called according to Your purpose and for Your glory (Romans 8:28). 

We praise You that You have made Yourself available to us so that we can grow in our relationship with You. The universe and all of creation is Yours and yet You desire that we know You in a personal way. Thank You for awakening in each of us a desire to know You more deeply and providing the pathway through Your son Jesus Christ to You that we may know You and grow in the grace You have supplied. May we fully realize this growth in our marriage.”
