If frustration has been building, bring it into the light.
If gratitude has been neglected, stir it again.
If love has grown quiet, awaken it within us.

Your Word tells us that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion. Today we pause and remember—we are both still in process.
You are not finished with us yet.

Show us where our attitudes have shifted.
Where our words have been careless.

Your Word tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Today we ask that these would not just be words we know, but qualities that grow within our marriage.

Your Word says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” In the middle of busy days and constant demands, we come before You, asking for a quietness of heart in our marriage.

In our words, let there be love.
In our tone, let there be kindness.
In our actions, let there be care.

When worries begin to circle, quiet them. When assumptions take hold, correct them. When frustration starts to grow, help us pause and turn our thoughts back toward truth.

Your Word reminds us that Your mercies are new every morning.

When pride begins to rise, quiet it. When we are tempted to insist on our own way, remind us to step back and consider one another.
