Growing Through Prayer – Bearing Our Spouse’s Burdens

Bearing Our Spouse’s Burdens

April 16, 2018

Joanna Teigen

Lord,

My spouse is struggling. A brave face covers up anxiety and depressed emotions. Hard work never seems to pay off. Broken relationships feel impossible to reconcile. Suffering one setback after another, my loved one is losing hope for tomorrow. Faith is shaken and happiness is out of reach.

Show me how to encourage my partner today. Give me strength to stand firm against the lies of fear and doubt. Fill my words with truth in our home—you’re here and your love never fails. Let compassion fill my heart as we walk through difficulty side by side. In your power, restore strength and resolve. Bring healing and comfort. May our hearts be filled with joy and praises to you.

Amen.

Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2-5)
