To Examine Our Own Hearts – Today’s Marriage Prayer
Hey Besties! Our next Bible study, Living Faithfully: A Journey Through James, is hot off the press and ready to go!
Unlike the recent studies we’ve done, James takes us into the New Testament, where we find practical ways to live out our faith in tangible ways.
James challenges us to put our faith into action, reminding us that “faith without works is dead” (James 2:14-26). He encourages us to seek wisdom from God, live righteously, and endure trials with patience, knowing that perseverance leads to maturity in our faith. James also teaches us about the power of our words, the importance of caring for those in need, and the necessity of living a life that reflects our faith in every area. It’s going to be a great study, and so I do home you’ll join us!
Without further ado, pick up a copy of the study guide on Amazon, mark your calendars for September 17th, and join us at timewarpwife.com as we take this journey through James!
P.S. If you’re looking for a Bible study that you can do together as a couple at home, this one is perfect (if your husband doesn’t mind the girly front cover). 😉
P.S.S. When you purchase a copy of the study guide, you’re helping to support our ministry, which in turn ensures that everyone has access to these Bible studies at no cost.
To Examine Our Own Hearts –
Today’s Marriage Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
We confess that it is often our first instinct to point fingers and shift blame, a habit we’ve developed since childhood. It feels easier to deflect responsibility, protecting our pride rather than looking inward. But we know that real growth, both personally and in our marriage, comes when we are willing to examine our own hearts before You.
Lord, grant us the humility to see where we are wrong, to own our mistakes, and to seek reconciliation. Give us the courage and strength to speak the truth with love, even when it’s difficult. Let us not shy away from admitting fault or from having those hard conversations that lead to healing.
When apologies are needed, prompt us to act without delay. Soften our hearts to be quick in seeking and giving forgiveness, not holding onto grudges or letting bitterness take root. Remind us that true forgiveness means releasing the offense completely, just as You have forgiven us.
Help us to embrace reconciliation, Lord. May we come to each other in love, ready to join hands and lift our relationship up in prayer. Lead us to a place of mutual understanding, where we can move forward together with open hearts, committed to growing in grace, honesty, and love. Bind us closer in unity, and let Your peace guide us in every step we take.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
