5 Prayers for Next Week
We thought we would do something different this week. Invite you to grow your relationship by praying – either together or separately, Monday through Friday.
And we thought the week before Valentine’s Day might be a good week to try this. (Although, we do not want to add more pressure to make Valentine’s Day incredible! Libby thinks it is a scam, anyway.)
Below is a prayer guide for each day next week. Do not feel bad if this is something that would not fit your marriage right now. Praying like this privately will have its own impact.
1. Decide right now when you will do this each day.
2. Print this email or take a screen shot for quick access.
3. Do not be surprised if God gives you some insights or instructions. If so, write them down.
4. Please share this email with three other couples.
