Step 1: Watch Episode 5
Step 2: Read and Meditate on Scripture
“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.”
(Psalm 145:18-19, ESV)
Step 3: Questions For Discussion
Some people feel inadequate in their prayer. Do you or your spouse ever feel this way? Why or why not?
Bob and Jenni talk about prayer being a way to commune with God. As you pray to God, how are you allowing Him to show Himself to you? How can you improve that aspect of your prayer life?
Step 2: Take Time in Prayer
God, Help us as we pray together in our marriage. Remind us that You want us to pray because it brings us closer to You and allows us to form a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior. You want us to get to know You more and more in our practice of prayer. Help us be able to do that together in our marriage, and help us overcome any obstacles along the way. Amen.
This endearing 366-day couples’ devotional will guide couples to achieve a level of intimacy with each other and with God that will take their marriage and faith to a whole new level of love, trust and hope.
