Sweetening Your Sex Life

DAY 3 OF 3

We want to encourage you to spend time with God asking Him to uncover areas in your sexual life which could use improvement. As He reveals these to you, write them down so you can pray about them ongoingly. 

It could be as simple as asking God to increase the level of attraction you feel for your spouse, or your spouse feels for you. Or it might be far more personal. Whatever it is you want God to work within, be sure to take it to Him in prayer (Philippians 4:6).. 

The marital sex life isn’t something that Christians are often instructed to pray about; however, it is something deserving of prayer. There is nothing off-limits with God when it comes to your prayer life. Share with Him how you feel, what you’d like to experience and areas where you’d like Him to transform things. Then watch how He works in your life and in your spouse’s life to bring about good.  

Prayer for Blessing & Freedom in Sexual Intimacy

“Gracious Lord, thank You for giving us the opportunity to pray to you about our sex life. No one knows each of us better than You do. You know what we desire and how to achieve the fulfilling satisfaction of that desire. Teach us how to satisfy each other in ways that bring pleasure to us as well. 

Bless our sexual activity with creativity, fun, and an abiding connection. Keep spontaneity in our hearts and minds. And help us to remember the romance, soft touches, and gentle words that precede sex throughout our casual times together, or even when things get busy. 

I pray that our marital sex life will be so enjoyable that we will both look forward to it equally and with mutual enthusiasm. Heal any past or present wounds that may inhibit our full expression of sexual love. We thank You for this, and so much more. In Christ’s name, amen.”
