Day 9

I pray Aaron will handle finances wisely, will have discernment concerning budgeting and investments, and will be a good steward of his money in regard to giving to the Lord’s work. I pray that money will not become a source of discord in my family. Thank you for Aaron's concern with our financial status. I pray his hard work to provide will mold our family in a peaceful financial place. Prov. 23:4-5 "Don't wear yourself out trying to be rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit." Romans 12:13 "When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality." Hebrews 13:5 "Don't love money. Be satisfied with what you have. For God said, I will never fail you, I will never abandon you."

Day 8

I pray that Aaron will work hard to provide for our family. I pray he will continue to have a desire to take care of us as the spiritual and financial leader. Romans 12:11 "Never be lazy, but work hard and serve The Lord enthusiastically." I pray that the character qualities necessary for a successful career and ministry will be a growing part of his character—persistence, decisiveness, strength, an analytical mind, organizational skills, positive relationships with people, determination, etc. 1 Cor. 15:58 "Be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically, for you know that nothing you do for The Lord is ever useless."

Day 7

I pray Aaron's heart will stay pure and he will be committed to me and our marriage. Romans 13:14 "Don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your selfish desires." We all have the nature to choose sin. I pray Aaron and I both choose Christ. I pray we show our love for each other by always putting each other's needs above our own.

Day 6

I pray that Aaron would always be in guard for danger and tempting situations. I pray that he would be on guard, at work, school, home and in public. Psalm 27:12 states, "A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." I pray that Aaron wouldn't blindly walk through his day. I pray he will find ways to honor you and our marriage, Lord, things that seem small but ultimately amount to everything. Thank you for your direction and guidance in our lives. Thank you for these 31 days of prayer
that have made me focus on my marriage and my relationship with Christ. I also want to pray today for guidance in my education and my career. I'm struggling with what I should do. I want to have a successful career but being a mother overrides all those desires. Help me find peace in what I am doing.

Day 5

I pray that Aaron and I both will strive to remember our wedding vows daily. Help us to see our marriage as the covenant it is. I pray that he will desire to cultivate our relationship to honor his marriage and show Christ's love and commitment through our marriage. Proverbs 20:6 asks, "Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?" I pray I can trust Aaron and rely on him as a best friend and Husband. I pray we would both desire to be transparent with one another, thus growing our relationship into a solid bond through Christ. Genesis 2:24 states, "This explains why man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united as one." I pray our actions would communicate oneness in our marriage. I pray we will continue working together effectively as a team, meeting each others needs instead of our own first.

Day 4

I pray Aaron will grow in his leadership skills for our marriage. I pray he always has a desire to protect me and provide for me. I pray God will be glorified in our marriage by Aaron's desire to love me sacrificially and lead me wisely. Ephesians 5:25-29 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. This will make her holy and clean...For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself." Colossians 3:19 "Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly." I pray Aaron will be patient and loving and guide his family with a gentle heart.

Day 3

Lord, I pray Aaron will be humble. I pray he will be quick to agree with God's voice and be tender to listening with an open mind. Micah 6:8 "the Lord has told you what is good. He has told you what is required of you. Do what is right. Love mercy. Walk humbly." I pray Aaron will have the integrity to do what is right. I pray he is thankful for God's mercy and grace. I pray most of all for his humility and for him to be humble.
