Effectual Fervent Prayer –
Today’s Marriage Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Your word says, “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” We know prayer is an important part of our marriage — that it’s more than a good suggestion. We know it’s the life-breathing force that gives glory to You while making us strong.
And so, we ask You to teach us, Lord. Teach us what it means to be fervent. Give us an unmistakable passion for prayer. As we’re making our way through each day, remind us to pray for each other often. Help us to see the needs we might otherwise overlook.
We read about the disciples who fell asleep when they needed prayer the most. Help us to learn from that Father. Help us to be there when one needs the other, and to be strong when the other is weak.
Give us insight into Your Word that we might know You, and follow Your will.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
