Danish Christian philosopher Soren Kierkegaard famously said, “Prayer doesn’t change God; it changes us.” While this, I feel, is true, I also consider 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 must be fueled by prayer.
One of crucial belongings you will ever do to your marriage is to pray to 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, should you’re leaving your marriage “uncovered” by failing to hope to your spouse and the success of your marriage, it can all the time be vulnerable to attacks from the enemy.
Prayer is the good unifier in marriage. It surpasses our understanding and logic. Many times, my husband and I actually have disagreed on something or have been distant for some reason, and after we pray, it’s as if the space between us all but vanishes. God is glorified, and we see one another through a latest lens: a lens of peace, hope, and unconditional love. I need to share the acronym C.O.V.E.R I created that can assist you to to cover your marriage in prayer.
