5 Prayers to Stop Thinking Negatively About Your SpouseSample

Today’s Prayer: Help me to see my spouse as you see them.

“Lord, help me to see my spouse as you see them. Help me to remember they are your child and to view them the way you do, as cherished and beloved. Amen.”

To see your spouse rightly is to see them as God does. Seeing ourselves and others as God sees us is at the heart of what it means to love well. God calls everyone who has faith in Jesus His children. We are his beloved sons and daughters. We belong to Him. Whether or not we fully understand and lean on the power of His Spirit to live out our victory in Him, we are His. We have access to the Creator of the Universe, and as Jesus said in John 15, He calls us his friends.

Whether or not you are being proactive, kind, gracious, intentional, or servant-hearted as a spouse today does not change the fact that you are a spouse. And the same goes for your spouse. Whether or not they are meeting all the needs you’d like them to, your covenant relationship holds true.

Today, ask God to help you see your spouse the way He does, to look at their heart, and to love them for who they are. Seek to be a reflection of His love to your spouse and others today.
