A Prayer to Show You Serve Jesus.

“ Father, help me and ____ to live completely devoted to serving You and Jesus. Help us have a love for you that consumes everything. Help us never cease to follow after you all the days of our lives. Help our marriage be a force for good in this world and in your Kingdom. Make our marriage a place where the lost find shelter and the light of the gospel. Help our marriage be a foretaste of the love and devotion we will experience in heaven with you.”

A Prayer to Help You See Challenges as Opportunities – To Trust in God and Rejoice.

Help us, Father, to see all of our trials as opportunities to rejoice and trust in you. In your Word we read, “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.” James 1:2 That sounds so hard! Lord, help us see what that might look like in our lives. Help us have your perspective when trials come — to know that our suffering is an opportunity to depend on you and for you to show up in our lives.

A Prayer to Help Us Endure Through Hardships

Thank You, Father, for using trials to teach us endurance and to perfect us. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So, let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:3-4

Lord, the trials we have faced recently have stretched us and we are sore from the struggle. Give us your rest, give us your peace and we learn to endure through difficulties. We pray for perseverance and a humble heart.

A Prayer for Wisdom and Guidance.

Father, I am very grateful that You are so ready to give us the wisdom we need. You tell us in your Word that If we need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to us. He will not rebuke us for asking. James 1:5

Thank you, Lord that we can bring every request to you, including the request for more wisdom. As we face our trials and challenges and choices, give us you fresh perspective. Help us see life through your lens, through the lens of the gospel. Help us have confidence in our minds, and in the Spirit, who is always with us and helps us know and discern your will.

A Prayer Against Temptations

Help us Father, to patiently endure tests of our faith and resist temptations that could hurt our marriage. God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 Give us your Spirit to protect and persevere us through temptations. Helps us keep you and your will for us always in our hearts and minds.

A Prayer to Help You Guard Against Sins

Help us, Father, to recognize temptations and pray about them before they grow in power to destroy us. “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. “James 1:13-16

Lord, thank you for these sobering words. Help us be mindful of them. Help us to turn from sin and flee into your arms.
