Bring Back Those Loving FeelingsНамуна

Prayer is a powerful tool you can freely use whenever you want to. We encourage you to pray regularly for the attraction and satisfaction of your marriage. Below are some guided prayers which you can pray word for word. But also use them as a catalyst to craft your own prayers, specifically related to your marriage.

Praising God

“Heavenly Father, You crafted our world with such beauty. You paid attention to all the minute details that surround us from flowers to trees to mountains to birds to snowflakes to the way our bodies were made. You have gifted each of us with so much beauty and life. It inspires us and nourishes our soul with strength. I praise You for Your creativity and design. You lift my spirit with Your creations and You have given me the opportunity to lift the spirit of my spouse through my own life and beauty and strength as well, whether that is internal or external. Thank You for this ability, I do not take it for granted and I want to use it to bring good to my spouse and draw them closer to me. In Christ's name, amen.”

Presenting the Situation

Use this portion of time to honestly assess how much importance you assign to looking or being attractive for your spouse. Since you can only control what you do, be sure to focus on yourself in this section. Are there things that you have let slide – whether it’s controlling your moods, what you say or what you wear, to name a few. Is there anything you could do in order to increase your spouse’s attraction to you? Write down some things you can work on. Then pray and ask God for wisdom and self-discipline to improve in those areas. 

Prayer for Blessing

“Gracious Lord, give me insight into how I can increase my attractiveness to my spouse. Help me to choose my words wisely so what I say is sweet and affirming, rather than complaining or demanding. Give me energy so that I can bless my spouse with vitality, enthusiasm and joy. Remind me to stay mindful of how I look and what I wear. And let me be a source of pleasure to my spouse mentally, emotionally and physically. In the same way, help my spouse to be attentive to what makes them attractive to me. Reignite the flame of passion and romance between us, and keep it lit. In Christ’s name, amen.”
