To Focus On The Spiritual –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

It’s natural to compare ourselves to others. Surrounded by picture-perfect lives that seduce us to covet those things we don’t have, it is possible to fall into the hands of jealousy, envy, and lust. All we catch is a glimpse here and there. We don’t see what goes on behind every closed door, but the luster is seemingly perfect. It can capture our eyes and turn our attention away from our own marriage.

Help us to keep from doing that, Lord. Help us to focus on the spiritual, and not on the things of this world. Remind us to count our own blessings and not the blessings of others. Help us to keep our eyes focused on Christ.

Give us the wisdom to change our perspective. May Christ be the center of our hope, our desires, our dreams, and the standard we live by.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
