Today let's pray for our marriage.

Lord I thank you for my spouse. I thank you for teaching us daily how to be better wives and husbands. I pray today that you bless my husband and help him with any problem (addiction, bad habit, bad attitude) that he might have. I ask that you lead him in the direction you would have him go in and give him wisdom. I pray that if he is not seeking you, that the blinders are removed and that the tugging at his heart becomes stronger and he is drawn to you. I thank you for growing him into the man of God that you have called him to be.

I thank you that we both realize our strengths as individuals and our strength together as one. Give us patience when we want to get angry. Show us how to love like you have loved us. Help me to be the Woman of God that you have created me to be. Help me to love, support and be a strength to my husband. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Our Controlled Lives

I am in a bible study right now and one of our assignments was to pick out 3 scriptures to help us with an issue we are dealing with. One of the scriptures I chose was Galatians 5:22, But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control...

When I look at this scripture it reminds me that if I give up control and focus on His Word, this fruit will be produced in me. So, today let's focus on love. Not what the world calls love but God's love. Let's pray for the following:

• That we have a revelation of how much God loves us.
• That we give up control of our lives to Him. That we are led by the Holy Spirit and not by our own will and emotions.
• That love overtakes us and we share His love with others.

In Jesus Name, Amen!
