If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father.
—Matthew 18:19
I love the fact that He chose that number. If Jesus had said it takes 3, then I would always need someone else to help me and Dava pray. But since we are 1, we've already got 2. So in our marriage we already have enough to agree in prayer. When the kids were sick, when we were struggling financially, when we felt all alone, when we were facing anything of uncertainty, our prayers were enough!
Think about it. What power, right there in your marriage! You and your wife have prayer agreement power. For whatever you're facing, you, her, your kids, your parents, your friends, your finances, your health, whatever. Take advantage of it. What is your greatest need as a couple, or a family? Agree together right now for God to handle it His way and in His time.
TODAY’S DARE
Ask your wife if you can share a devotion with her tonight before you you both go to sleep. (If that won't work due to your schedules plan it for earlier in the day) Then read the scripture and comments above in today's blog to her.
Ask your spouse if you can begin praying together. Talk about the best time to do this, whether it’s in the morning, your lunch hour, or before bedtime. Use this time to commit your concerns, disagreements, and needs before the Lord. Don’t forget to thank Him for His provision and blessing. Even if your spouse refuses to do this, resolve to spend this daily time in prayer yourself.
