Bounce Back In Style 2nd Edition Feb/March/April | Page 41

Prayer:
When you pray, pray for what you need. Ask the Lord
to show you love in such a way that not even your
spouse could ever love you that way. Fall in love with
Jesus and let Him fill your love tank. Let Him fill you up
so much that love overflows and you couldn‟t stop
yourself from loving your spouse even if you wanted to.

When you pray for your spouse, pray for his/her needs
more than you pray for what you need from him/her.
Don‟t focus on what you‟re not getting. Focus on what they‟re in need of. Join yourself as a helper to your
spouse through your prayers. Be an ally through prayer and not an adversary.

Pray for what you know concerns them the most, their job, children, health, or whatever it is. Pray for
God‟s favor in their life. Pray for healing in the things that have caused hardness in their heart. Pray for
their hearts to be open to God so that they can receive the same love of God you are receiving.

When you turn your efforts into part of your worship and pray for your spouse in this way the Lord will fill
your heart with more love to give to your than you ever thought was possible.
