Are You Praying For God’s Presence In Your Marriage?

In the midst of your troubles (and all have troubles in marriage according to the Bible), do you feel God is far away or near? Do you feel connected to Him? If He feels absent and not present, what can you do?

PRAY:

Lord, in 1 Corinthians 7:28, You reveal that there will be trouble in marriage.

Some of us have small troubles and others have big troubles. I know You are using this tension to reveal more of Yourself. During this time, I desire Your presence.

Suppose I had a “perfect” marriage. If I didn’t feel Your presence, what good would my life be? My trials, which leave me feeling unloved and disrespected in my marriage (Ephesians 5:33), give me new opportunities to encounter You.

Your Word promises me that You will draw near to me if I draw near to You. So, by faith, I draw near to You right now, trusting that You draw near to me so that I might feel Your very presence.

In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
