To Face Our Troubles Head On – Today’s Marriage Prayer

To Face Our Troubles Head On –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

We ask that You bring peace to the areas of our life that stress us out most. Teach us how to work through problems instead of putting them off and ignoring what has to be done.

It seems so much easier to procrastinate than it is to face our troubles head-on. It’s easier to put things off for tomorrow, but in doing that we create an atmosphere of chaos and confusion today.

Your Word tells us that You’re not a God of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). You’re a God of peace, a God of order, and a God of completion. And so we ask that you help us to reflect this in our own lives as we strive to order our priorities and manage our time.

Take away our excuses, and exchange them for action. Take all of our fear and exchange it for courage. Take any doubt and exchange it for faith.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
