Prayers That Prevail

Sunday June 5, 2011

Father, You are our peace and our source.  We ask for Your presence today.  More importantly, we can't stop thanking You for Your love.  Mere words can't express how much that love means to us.  Not only is Your love a remedy for us, it's also a perfect example for how we should live and treat others. 

Lord, when we think of love, we immediately think of marriage.  So, as wives, let us be the example You described in Proverbs 31.  Let us be productive and nurturing, bringing increase to our households.  Lord, we desire to be the helpmeet You designed us to be.  So, give us what we need to meet the needs of our homes and communities.  As husbands, let us see our wives as the gifts they are to us.  Our desire should be to love them as You love the church, so turn our hearts back to that place.  No more walls, no more unfair expectations, and no more one-sidedness.  Let us be one in Your presence, in Jesus' name. Amen.
