Day 20: BEING VULNERABLE WITH EACH OTHER

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”

1 JOHN 4:18

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, You are love and Your love is flawless. You are our example of how to love and look beyond fault. You knew our sin fully, but did not hold it against us, allowing us to live free from fear because Your love is perfect. Lord, though our love will never be perfect, we ask that You would grow us in our ability to love each other in a way that would create a safe environment for us to be known and to be free from fear of judgment or resentment from each other that the enemy would love to create. Bind us together in Your perfect love and give us a supernatural ability to live openly before each other and before You. Thank You, Lord, for the freedom You will give us in our marriage as we commit to knowing each other fully and loving just the same.

Day 19: PROTECTION

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.”

1 PETER 5:8-9

PRAYER

Father, the enemy wants nothing more than to take our marriage down and stop the plans that You have for us. He knows that You want to use us for Your purposes in history and he wants to steal our joy. But we pray that You would protect us from the evil one and that You would cover our home and our relationship. In the good and the bad, in the ups and downs, we pray for security in You. We pray that You would even protect us from the harm that we could possibly do to ourselves knowingly or unknowingly. Help us to resist the enemy. Help us to stand strong in our faith. Make us steadfast in our pursuit of You and in pursuit of Your will. Be our shield, Lord Jesus, when Satan attacks and be our refuge when we don’t know where to turn. We place our full faith and confidence in You and Your love. We recognize that we will only find what we are looking for in You and we commit our lives to You.

Day 18: THANKFUL

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”


1 THESSALONIANS 5:18

PRAYER

Lord, we want to take time to say thank You. We are grateful for who You are and how Your presence has given us life. No matter what our circumstances look like from day to day, we give You thanks. To say that we are nothing without You is an understatement. We are less than that. Yet, despite our nature, You choose to invade our lives and you seek to be one with us. You choose to bless us and You choose to love us—thank You. Thank You for not allowing our sin to hold us hostage. Thank You for freedom from bondage and thank You that there is no shame. You start us afresh and grant us new mercies. Thank You that we do not have to work for Your love, but that You choose to love us freely. Thank You for Your protection, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Thank You for life. Help us to not take any good that we have for granted because we know that You are the only good in us.

Day 17: LEGACY

“Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. The Lord bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel!”

PSALM 128

PRAYER

Lord, thank You for the blessing and prosperity that are ours as we submit to You and as we walk like You would have us walk in our marriage. I pray that we would live every day in light of Your presence, knowing that keeping our eyes on You is the foundation of all that we are building together. May we always remember that our marriage is not just about us, but about what You are building and Your kingdom purposes. As we follow You, and as You pass down Your heavenly blessings to us, may we bless all those we touch. May all those in our household be fruitful, as an expression of Your Spirit living through us, that all who would come into contact with us benefit from our lives. Visit our home with Your blessings and prosperity that we might be conduits through which You bless others.s that knows nothing of Your goodness.

Day 16: SPIRITUAL GROWTH

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

COLOSSIANS 1:9-10

PRAYER

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.

Day 15: FRIENDSHIPS

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

PROVERBS 27:17

PRAYER

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.

Day 14: OUR WORDS

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”

PROVERBS 18:21

PRAYER

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 the soul and
health to the body. (Proverbs 16:24)

Day 13: FINANCES

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”

HEBREWS 13:5

PRAYER

Lord we seek to put You first in every area of our lives,
including our finances. We are grateful for Your provision
and the resources You have blessed us with. We ask that You use our finances as a source to bring us closer to You and not as a means of dissension or conflict. Help us to be of one mind with what we spend, how we save and how we give according to Your commands and desires. We do not cherish the treasures of this world but we seek Your eternal blessings. Help us not to rely on Your resources but to trust You as our only Source. Your Word tells us that You will supply all of our needs and we trust You for provision even when we do not see
it. Help us to be content and faithful with our finances.
We relinquish our control and selfish desires and come
together under Your authority. Use everything that we
have for Your kingdom.

Day 12: SPEAK TO US

“He said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

LUKE 11:28

PRAYER

Father, we desire to hear Your voice and to follow Your
ways. We pray that You would speak to us so that Your
will, will be done through us. We seek You wholeheartedly,
selflessly, and continually. Help us to recognize Your voice
at all times and give us the courage we need to act on
Your behalf. The busyness of life can get loud and there
are distractions all around us. We know that it is the goal
of the enemy to tempt us with the temporary pleasures
of this world. Help us to stand together under You. Give
us wisdom to know when to quiet the noise around us in
order to hear You clearly. Grant us the patience to wait
for You to speak when we are seeking Your voice. Help
us to be confident as You guide our actions. Teach us to
abide in Your presence, and most of all teach us to rest in
the security of Your promises.

Day 11: INTIMACY

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

GENESIS 2:24

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, we thank You that You have given us to each
other in marriage and we pray that Your plan for us to be
one flesh would be expressed in every area of life. Starting
with our vows and commitments to each other, we pray
for purity. We pray that we would honor each other
completely and that we would put each other’s needs in
front of our own. Lord, grow a trust relationship between
us that would be unbreakable. We pray that when others
look at us they would see You in us and a closeness in our
union that doesn’t come from the world. Reveal any false
intimacy in our relationship and replace it with exactly
what You had in mind when You created us for each
other.

[Husband] Father, help me to love my wife like You love
me and to give up even my life if You call me to do so.
Until then, help me to die to any selfish way that would
keep my wife from trusting and following me as I follow
You.
[Wife] Lord, help me to respect my husband and trust
that he has the good of our family in mind with every
decision he makes. Help me to follow him as he follows
You. Make us one as You are one.
