Married Couples: Five-Day Prayer ChallengeSample

Emotional, Mental, and Physical Health

As we consider one another holistically, let us meditate on Psalm 139:13–14 (NIV), which says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Lord, help us listen to one another with understanding and consider one another over ourselves.

We ask for Your Spirit to help us in our vulnerability with one another. Guide our speech and guard our hearts, helping us not to take personal the brokenness we share but instead to allow our vulnerability to draw us closer to You and one another.

We believe You’ve created us for one another, and we understand we need You to hold us together. We acknowledge the need to remain fixed on You for stability, sanity, and longevity in our marriage.

Heal our hearts, cleanse our minds, and protect our bodies as we purpose to pursue you, Jesus. Forgive any contempt we may hold against one another just as You have forgiven us. Give us wisdom to make wise choices as we steward the bodies we’ve been blessed with.

As we aim to keep you first in our marriage, we trust You’ll sustain us in our minds, bodies, and spirits, knowing You created us with purpose. We thank You for one another and recognize we cannot do life together without You.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.
