We Fix Our Eyes Not On What Is Seen –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

We love each other deeply, but some days are still difficult. Sometimes we may entertain thoughts that we shouldn’t. Some days we lust after a self-centered life.

A focus on ourselves, anxiety, and lust are just some of the tools satan will use to drive a wedge in our marriage and doubt into our minds.

Many couples have asked themselves, Did I marry the right person? Why aren’t we as happy as other couples we know? Would I be happier if I was single? Is divorce really that bad? Is it an option that we should consider?

Help us to recognize and quickly dismiss these types of destructive thoughts, Lord. Increase our faith so these doubts don’t settle in and take root.

If we’re discouraged, dejected, or low, may we turn our focus away from what is seen to what is not seen — from the temporary to the eternal. You’re the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End — Almighty God.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Bible Verse

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, KJV

_____________________________

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, NIV
