To Speak Life To Each Other –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

When one is hurting, we both hurt. On difficult days, during our deepest times of trouble, we want nothing more than to be a comfort for each other, but sometimes the challenge comes in knowing what to say and how to say it.

Teach us to keep silent long enough to listen. Help us to focus, to let go of distractions, and to be present in the moment.

Help us to identify with each other’s feelings, and to see things from another point of view, so that we can carry our burdens together.

Give us the right words to say, or the wisdom to say nothing at all. May we be understanding, empathetic, and kind. Just because we may not have the right words, it doesn’t mean that we can’t be an encouragement and comfort.

We don’t have to have all of the answers, but we want to encourage, and we want to speak life to each other. Please give us the wisdom to do that.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Bible Verse

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. – 2 Corinthians 1:3-5, KJV
