What a gift to be able to prepare to enter Heaven's gates one day and meet our Savior and look back to remember how the Lord used our marriages to prepare us for that moment. How our Heavenly Father, lovingly gave us a brother in Christ to join in convenant with and in turn prepare our hearts for our heavenly home. Today, our final day, we're praying for our sanctification in our marriages. It's been an honor, and I'm praying with you, Ashley

It's the linchpin of the gospel, and I can personally admit that I could do a much better job at forgiving my husband. It's not even necessarily the big things I hold on to, but it's all the little things I stack up and allow in like little foxes that threaten to destroy my marriage. Today, we pray for the softening of the Holy Spirit and the opportunity to forgive our husband and allow the Lord to do a healing and restoring work in our marriage. Praying with you, Ashley

Lord, if we ever needed your grace, it's now. Grow us in loving patience. Today is day 38 and we're praying to have this fruit of the spirit in abundance. May we seek the Lord in scripture and be reminded of his faithful patience, and be humbled to reflect this in our marriage. Praying with you, Ashley

What a blessing to trust an unknown future to an intimately known God. Today, we're praying for our future while also holding the weight of knowning that our days are numbered and we're not promised tomorrow. We're praying for the wisdom and opportunity to dream while also living the full life here in the present. I'm praying as you dream you can have hands open in surrender to a God who has wonderful plans for your life!

Praying with you, Ashley

Each day has countless opportunities for us to seek wisdom from the Lord and scriptures regarding how we are to speak, respond, parent, love, and live out Matthew 6:33. Today, we're praying for our wisdom and patience as we wait. I hope the Lord brings people into your life and marriage that will bless you with wise council, even if and when it may be hard to hear. I'm praying we can all be obedient and intune with the Spirit as we seek wisdom.

Praying with you, Ashley

Our hope comes from one place. Today, we're praying for our hope to be built on the foundation of God's faithfulness, love, and goodness. God's word is full of scripture, and if you're struggling to have hope in your marriage can I gently encourage you to go there. I promise it's the best place to run to for hope and encouragement. I'm praying with you, Ashley

Today's prayer is for our waiting. It's hard for me to think of something more productive in our Christian walk than waiting. The emotions that come with a season of waiting can be excruciating, but the season also has the potential to produce a depth in us that not many other things can. Whether you're praying for a diagnosis, a baby, a job, a new home, a breakthrough, an emotional healing, or something else that is weighing heavy, today I encourage you to surrender your waiting. Open your hands and trust the Father SEES you and is a good father with good plans for your life. Praying with you, Ashley

"Catch the foxes for us, the littel foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vinyards are in blossom". Song of Solomon 2:15

You are not alone. A long list of women have prayed for connection this season, to be more emotionally and physically connected to their husband. The list is long of "foxes" that can get into our marriage and cause division, apathy, and disconnect. Truthfully, some of the things that are dividing us aren't inherently BAD things, but just like our relationship with Christ, we can allow anything to become an ideal and affect our genuine connection. Today, we're praying for our connection (emotionally, spiritually, and physically) within our marriage. Praying with you, Ashley.

Joel 2:25, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten". Scripture is full of redemption stories, and if we throw ourselves into His word we will be encouraged by the truth, hope, and power of His ability to redeem and restore broken relationships, terrifying diagnoses, shattered dreams, or a lost sense of purpose after life derails you. Today, we're praying for our restoration within our marriages which may look different for each marriage praying. Praying with you for the redeeming love of Jesus to rest over your marriage today and in the days and weeks to come.

"For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:24. I think of my wedding ceremony nearly 16 years ago, we poured two different colors of sand into a single container signifiying our unity because it would be humanly impossible to separate all the individual pieces of sand back to their original color containers. God has designed it that we leave our family that raised us and cleave, to adhere firmly and closely or loyally and unwaveringly, to our spouse and be united in marriage. Today we're praying for our unity that it would be established on the foundation of Jesus Christ and it would draw us closer not only to each other, but ultimately to Christ. That in our unity, we would have a unified spirit and mind, becoming one in how we interact, make decisions, communicate, and live. Praying with you, Ashley
