Praying For Your Spouse and Marriage

I know some people cringe when conversations like, “how to pray,” come up, but honestly, how we pray matters! There may not be a universal script or law book for prayer but there are things that we can do to prepare our hearts for prayer and the changes that God brings as a result of our prayers. These three tips can help you navigate your prayers when praying for your spouse while also setting the standard of Christ as foundation for your marriage.

Why would we tell our kids to lie, by pretending we were not at home?

How to Walk In Faith When What’s Next Is Unknown

I love how this works. He gives us a task, enables us to do it and then we not only receive the fruit of the outcome but we get to experience the sheer joy of obedience, the knowledge that the Father spoke, led us and met us in a beautiful way.  It’s the choice to leap off a cliff and into the safety of His arms-doubts and imperfect faith included-and feel His embrace as He catches us.
