MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 4 - CONFLICT

PROVERBS 17:14

“The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit
before the quarrel breaks out.”

Lord, You are holy. Thank You for the ever so gentle way that You deal with us. Give us the strength and self-control we need to show that same gentleness to each other. We know that You do not operate in chaos and confusion. Forgive us when we allow strife, bitterness, and worry to take root in our home and in our hearts. Teach us to control our temper, and bring our attitudes under Your submission. Your Word tells us that there is power in our tongues, so we give You control over our unspoken and spoken words. God we ask that You replace quarreling with compassion and resentment with joy. We are fully aware that arguments and dissension serve as distractions for the enemy to use to prevent us from resting in Your unending peace. At times when we desire to handle it ourselves, we ask that Your Holy Spirit would remind us to leave our conflict at Your feet and seek You for resolve. Help us to bring every area of concern to You so that we can move forward in love.

To be elevated above level ground. To the place where God dwells, lives, moves; and exists through all times. He who was, is, and is to come; Jehovah [the existing one]. The question continues to be asked of whom should transcend [be or go beyond the range or limits of] where they are right now? Who will remain; rise up. To the dwelling of sanctity, reverence, sacredness, and a dwelling that is separated from uncleanliness.  4) This individual must stand without fault, clear of guilt from shame caused by one's actions, blameles

MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 14 - OUR WORDS

Image
PROVERBS 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Lord, we are completely humbled when we think about the grandness of Your kingdom and the gifts You have chosen to give us. Of all the ways You could have given us to communicate, You chose to give man words. We are especially grateful for this gift. Unfortunately, we acknowledge that we do not always treat our words as a gift and we are well aware of the damage our tongues can cause. Your Word tells us that our words are powerful and that our tongues have the ability to give life or to destroy it. Teach us to use our words to give life. Help us to keep quiet when we need to and to speak in love and gentleness when necessary. We desire that every part of our bodies be used as a vessel for Your glory and a testimony of Your goodness. Forgive us when we do not honor You with the things we say. We pray that You make our words gracious like a honeycomb that brings sweetness to th
