Day 3 - Pray for His Finances

As I am sure you know from experience or have heard -- finances can be a huge pressure in a marriage. Some marriages have even ended over issue with finances. Don't let your marriage be a statistic. In the scheme of things, it's not worth it.

We just completed a small group at church called "Marriage on the Rock". The last session was over finances. He talked about the need to be proactive vs. reactive. So many times I don't discuss finances with my husband until something goes wrong. That is so not the time to have that discussion, as emotions are involved and heightened. So, I encourage you to be proactive in communications with your husband and prayer!

Let's take the time today to pray for finances and our husband.

Lord we put our trust in you today with our finances. We thank you that you are in control. I thank you for guiding us to be good stewards of our money. I pray that my husband and I hear your voice and the voice of a stranger we don't follow. I pray we are open to your teaching and correction. Show us where we can do better and where we need to change. If we need to give more, tell us. If we need to spend less, tell us. Help my husband and myself make good financial decisions and help us teach our children to do the same. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor
have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after,
and your father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God,
and all these things shall be added to you. Luke 12:29-31
