14 Days of Prayer for My Marriage: Finding the Power of a Marriage in Christ

By Scott Mitchell and Amy Mitchell

The Lord is the foundation of every lasting marriage—and when husbands and wives pray for each other, God’s power can work miracles!
Marriage is the most beautiful relationship two people can share, but it can be endlessly complicated. The pressures of modern life can make it seem hard to find the deep and lasting happiness we deserve —some days it even seems impossible!

But when we turn our hearts and prayers to God, He can take away all obstacles, and grant us the true, passionate, and eternal love that we deserve. When we stop trying to control everything ourselves and surrender ourselves to His will, He will reveal His amazing plan and purpose for our lives!

14 Days of Prayer for my Marriage is an introductory book of prayers and prayer challenges for Christian husbands and wives who want to find a closer relationship with their spouse, and bring the love and grace of Jesus back into their marriage.

In this book, you’ll find guided prayers to help you pray for your:
•Romance
•Compassion
•Protection
•Service to the Lord
•Passion
And more!

This short book is for Christian couples who are looking for some guidance in their daily prayers, some inspiration for how to speak to our Lord about their
marriage, and a helping hand from a friend in faith.

1 John 4:12: No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Scott Mitchell

Scott and Amy Mitchell were (nearly) high school sweethearts, young to the altar, and head over heels in love... and very nearly become one of American's divorce statistic stories after just a few years of marriage.We were young and headstrong and we thought we knew it all—we thought we only needed to rely on ourselves! We came from very different backgrounds of faith and although we always went to church and prayed to God for his blessings, we didn't truly hand our lives over to Him until our frustrations and anxieties had almost come to boiling point—and almost broken our marriage!But God heard our prayers, and saw into our hearts, and He blessed us with a marriage that gets stronger with each and every day. He deserves all the credit for the loving union we share with our two beautiful children (with a third on the way!). We never would have found the happiness and joy we have without His guidance and grace, so we're hoping we can pay it forward and show others how to ask for God's help in their marriage.Our books are based on the prayers that we wrote for ourselves when times got tough. We hope they work for you as well, but we don't deserve any of the credit—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the guiding lights you need to get your marriage back on track, and enjoy a love so pure and true you'll feel like you're falling in love all over again every time you wake up to see your significant other.1 Corinthians 4-8Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to everyone who supported us when we first said we were going to write a book of prayers. And thank you to everyone who has helped us deepen our relationship with God; our families, our friends, our church community and our wonderful spiritual leaders.

And of course, praise be to the Lord in Heaven Above!

He is the source of all love and goodness, and we give thanks every day for His blessed presence in our lives and in our marriage!

Introduction

Hi from Scott, and hi from Amy!

You might be reading this book after reading one of our other books of prayer, 31 Days of Prayer for my Wife, or 31 Days of Prayer for my Husband, in which case thank you so much for coming together in prayer with us again! It is our sincere hope you found some wisdom, some guidance, and some grace in those pages.

Or, if you’re a new reader, welcome to our friendship in Christ. We really hope you enjoy this little book of ours and find it a help in your marriage, and in your time spent praying to God.

Our other books tell the story of how we met, and fell in love, and got married… and then found out it wasn’t like TV and movies told us it would be! But that’s always the case, isn’t it? There’s only one voice you can rely on to always tell you the truth, and that’s God’s!

It was God who saved our marriage, and it’s God who blesses
