your marriage.

The Bible says we are to always be on guard because the devil is, “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8, NASB) always trying to find a place in our lives to pounce and attack us.

Why prayer for your marriage?

Because the devil wants to destroy you. He wants to destroy any and all good in

your life. He wants to destroy your witness.

What to pray for your marriage?“Answered prayers aren’t merely highly

unlikely coincidences. They are fingerprints of a living, loving God who

invites all of us to draw close to Him, the One who made us and “is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and

move and have our being” (Acts 17:27-28 NKJV).

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strengthened by the Lord

and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand

against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers, against the authorities against the cosmic powers of

this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens.”

We have a strategy, a plan of attack;

The Bible is our battle plan!
