Using Our Words to Encourage – Today’s Marriage Prayer

Join Our Upcoming Bible Study

Get ready to join us for our next Bible study:
Jonah: The Inescapable Love of God.

This new study will kick off on October 9th and will continue for five weeks. To prepare your hearts, I encourage you to pick up a copy of the journal on Amazon. It’s a story that will challenge us to face our own reluctances and embrace the overwhelming, relentless love God has for each and every one of us.

Karissa will be back to bless us with her insightful videos. Together, we look forward to a deep dive into God’s Word and fostering an even closer fellowship among us all. Your participation has been the heartbeat of this group, and I can’t wait to see how God uses our collective thirst for wisdom to draw us nearer to Him and to one another.

Using Our Words to Encourage –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your Word tells us not to let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, but that we should be using our words to encourage each other, and to build each other up. Unwholesome thoughts lead to unwholesome talk, so we ask that You cleanse our hearts and minds so we may be disciplined in all that we say and do.

Help us to respond positively to each other in love. Teach us to respect, honor, and trust one another with our hearts.

Help us to notice the small things, and to realize the many things we may take for granted. May we always show our appreciation for them.

Help us to look for the best in each other instead of judging one another. Help us to see each other through a veil of grace and compassion.

May we put in the effort and the energy it takes to please each other more than ourselves. And may we always seek to please You.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
