MARRIAGE PRAYERS - TWO FOR ONE DUO - FRIENDSHIPS & SPIRITUAL GROWTH

PROVERBS 27:17

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”


Lord we thank You for our friendship. We are so grateful to have each other to enjoy and share life with. I pray that we never take our bond for granted. We ask that You protect our union. We also ask that You would surround us with others who are seeking to build Your kingdom. We know that iron sharpens iron and we ask that You bring friends into our lives who will challenge us to grow, boldly speak truth into our lives, and seek Your wisdom on our behalf. Grant us the opportunities to serve others in this same way. We know that friendship is a gift and we ask that You help us to nurture, cherish, and protect those That You place in our paths.


COLOSSIANS 1:9-10

“From the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for
you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of
his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as
to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to
him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in
the knowledge of God.”


Heavenly Father, thank You that You have opened our eyes to see Your majesty and glory. We praise You for choosing us to be a part of Your kingdom family. We pray that You would continue to reveal Yourself to us in the fullness of Your grace and mercy. Help us to  be like-minded in our pursuit of You, that we might, together, grasp the width, length, and height of Your love for us individually and within our marriage. We seek You for wisdom in our daily lives, turning to You in every decision, great or small. We ask that You would help us to live in a way that is consistent with Your Word  and the calling You have for our lives. May we please You in all that we do, always seeking what delights You,  putting our desires to the side if they don’t agree. And  finally, as we grow in our affection and love  for You, may all that we do bring about Your goodness and glory in  the lives of others around us, that we would be conduits  of Your truth and love to a culture around us that knows nothing of Your goodness.

WHO SHALL ASCEND

Psalm 24:3-4   Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of my salvation What God is asking is the question of: 3) Who will [ascend] come higher; or allow oneself to be lifted up--ward to the place where the Lord our God is? 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
