Prayer

Prayer is an extremely important aspect to anyone’s Christian journey and faith. When Josh and I began our relationship and as he began further deepening his faith, we started a daily routine to incorporate prayer in our lives.

Every night before we got off the phone we would take turns praying over our relationship and the various things going on in our lives or those we love. In those moments I truly believe that God was bringing us closer to Him and to one another.

Praying together helped us to create a culture in our relationship of bringing our relationship and concerns before God.

Naturally difficult times occurred but because of the prayer routine we had created we have always been able to remind ourselves that God has us covered. Nothing beats being at a weak moment, when you feel like life is crashing all around you, and your partner offers to take your turn and pray over you. There have be numerous times that Josh was able to bring me back to a solid place by reminding me of all the times God answered our prayers.

Having a spouse that is able to re-center my faith means everything. When I feel overwhelmed, I love that Josh will hold my hand and offer to pray for me.

Prayer truly changes things. God hears the cries of our hearts and meets us exactly where we need Him to.

Now that we are married, prayer is still a huge part of our lives. Granted, we lost track a bit with all the changes we are undergoing, but we are consciously making the effort to pray together before bed. I am so glad to be on the same page with my husband.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7
