Danish Christian philosopher Soren Kierkegaard famously said, “Prayer doesn’t change God; it changes us.” While this, I feel, is true, I also imagine our prayers do influence God’s decisions, but that’s one other topic for an additional day. What I like about this quote is its emphasis on how prayer changes us. Prayer increases our faith, softens our hearts, and settles our minds. To this point, every Christian should pray, and each Christian marriage ought to be fueled by prayer.
One of crucial stuff you will ever do on your marriage is to pray on your marriage. As a marriage coach, I help couples learn higher ways of communicating and rebuilding trust, amongst other things. Learning great communication skills, conflict resolution techniques, and intimacy hacks are essential for a thriving marriage. However, in case you’re leaving your marriage “uncovered” by failing to wish on your spouse and the success of your marriage, it’ll at all times be vulnerable to attacks from the enemy.
Prayer is the nice unifier in marriage. It surpasses our understanding and logic. Many times, my husband and I even have disagreed on something or have been distant for some reason, and once we pray, it’s as if the space between us all but vanishes. God is glorified, and we see one another through a recent lens: a lens of peace, hope, and unconditional love. I would like to share the acronym C.O.V.E.R I created that can show you how to to cover your marriage in prayer.
