Pray Big for Your Marriage: The Power of Praying God's Promises for Your Relationship
ExcerptThen I started Pinpoint Praying. Along with using the Bible as my prayer guide, I started asking very specific and focused things of God. Instead of asking God to be with my wife, I asked him to make her holy, to protect her from the pull of materialism, to heal her of some specific wounds, to expand her ministry impact, to put truth in her heart and wisdom on her tongue. Instead of asking God to bless my marriage, I prayed that he would help us to love each other unconditionally, to model his love to the world, to willingly serve and yield to each other, and to know true intimacy.  Do you see the difference?  I sure did. As my prayers became more specific to God, so did my answers from him. The very pinpoint prayers I began praying turned into pinpoint answers for my marriage.  How do you pray for your marriage? Do you toss up the random Lord please be with us kinds of prayers, or do you set very specific and biblical requests before God? I can tell you from experience, the more you focus and specify your requests to God for your marriage, the more direct answers you'll see.
