MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 9 - USE US

JOHN 15:16

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit
should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my
name, he may give it to you.”

Lord Jesus, help us to abide in You individually and to immerse our marriage in Your Word. Use our relationship for Your glory and for our good. We are grateful that You have chosen to love us and that You thought it right to bring us together for Your purposes. Help us to spend time together with You, abiding and hanging out in Your Word on a regular basis, that we would grow richness in our marriage that would be irresistible to those around us. Grow our union into a tree of life that would give others nourishment and delight that can only come from You and points back to You as its source. We pray for all those who are touched by our marriage, that in Your grace You would use us to leave a lasting impression on them and that ultimately they would grow in relationship with You because of the fruit of Your spirit in our lives. Open our eyes to see the opportunity You have given us to extend Your grace and mercy. May we never miss an opportunity to offer the hope and sustenance that is found in Your 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

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
