Prayers For Purpose In Your Marriage

DAY 3 OF 6

The Shoes of Peace

“Time has been given to you for one reason. Your time has been given to you in order to accomplish your destiny. Time is consistent with destiny and purpose.” Tony Evans

Lord, Your Word tells us to be careful how we walk because the days are evil, and the time to pursue our purpose draws shorter with each day. You also tell us to walk in shoes of peace. When we live with peace as a mindset, it enables us to be careful how we walk. Because when we walk in peace in our relationship together, we don’t waste all of that time arguing, fighting, or responding in unkind ways. So much of our marriage has been lost to those moments where we did not choose to be careful how we walked, to use our time wisely and to walk in peace. God, forgive us. Let that not be the norm moving forward.

Rather, I pray for myself right now that, as Moses said, You will teach me to number my days in order that I will have a mindset of gratitude toward my spouse and the moments we do have together. Teach us to not waste our time on frivolous activities which do not bring us closer to Your purpose or on unproductive disagreements rooted in selfishness. Both of us have a great purpose to live out so enable us to be time-givers to each other rather than time-stealers. And we will do this by choosing peace as the atmosphere for our home. When peace is the atmosphere of our home, we are freed up to pursue purpose more fully. In Christ’s name, amen.

About this Plan

Prayers For Purpose In Your Marriage

Never before in the history of the world has the institution of marriage come under such scrutiny. Every day, society seeks to redefine what it means to be married, and Christians face greater criticism for holding to a so-called narrow-minded view of marriage. So what is the biblical purpose of marriage, and how should we pray as believers to preserve its meaning? In our six-day campaign, Prayers for Purpose in Your Marriage, couples can pray meaning into their own marriage, as well as affirming a godly understanding of the covenantal union between a man and a woman. For further help, Tony’s book, Kingdom Marriage fully explores the biblical foundation for marriage and gives couples the tools they need to foster healthy relationships.
