This week is the start of our church’s commitment to pray earnestly for 21 days. Tom and I decided we would add a regular prayer time to our morning Bible reading.

Praying together hasn’t been as often as we would like. We pray separately, but holding hands and agreeing in the name of Jesus each day is something in which we want to grow.

The Bible says that when two or more are gathered in His name, He (Jesus) is there with us.

Think of waking up and praying as a couple with the awareness that Jesus is holding our hands as we pray for “His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”

How has your spiritual journey been as a couple? Do you feel connected in your prayer life? Or is there a distance that makes prayer difficult?

This is a ploy of the enemy who wants nothing more than to disarm our prayers. Don’t let him do it.

May 2025 be the year where couples unite in prayer with Jesus in praying for His will to be accomplished. He is the One who receives the glory, but we are changed in the process.

We’ll close with the prayer Jesus modeled for us…

“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thank you for being a part of our vineyard. We are praying for you and your marriage that this year will be one of growth together in intimacy with God and each other.

Blessings,

Tom and Debi ❤️❤️
