Today’s Prayer (05/27/2021)

Oh Lord, I pray that marriages will be restored to what they were supposed to be in Your eyes from the beginning. So often we lose sight of what You can offer us and try to fix things on our own. And when things start to spiral out of control is when I know I had a hand in it. I could have had Your guidance and direction on things, but instead, I took control. Forgive me, Lord. I do not know what is best for this marriage on my own and can only help lead it in the ways of love and respect if You are continually leading me. Please take the wheel and allow me to be led by You, even the most High. I long to have the respect and love in my life from my wife each day, but that can only happen if I can do the same for her. So may my actions be loving and respectful to the uttermost. Not just to my co-workers and friends, but to my wife, whom I spend the most time with. Help fix things that are broken now in the marriage. Many times we argue over things that are not important in the long run. Fighting never is the answer and I pray that we will instead give ear to each other when we are speaking. That if there is a problem or concern, we can talk it over with respect. Each spouse needs to know when there are problems in the marriage, so that things can be worked out for Your sake. But help us do this with You leading our hands and feet. If it is my ways and not Your ways, then things will only get worse. And help me to be more open to what my wife says. I love You. Amen.

Ephesians 5:22-25

Ephesians 5:22-25 (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
