Praying for your spouse in secret blesses them with God’s peace. The words you whisper to the Father rise like incense before His throne, and He is faithful to act on their behalf. What a beautiful way to support them during the holidays!
In Matthew 6:6, Jesus taught His followers the importance of praying in secret, saying, “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
The reward of interceding for our spouses is seeing them less stressed, more joyful, and able to enjoy the season. This Christmas, let’s carve out regular times of prayer and thanksgiving, asking God to bless our spouses with the abundance of His peace. This gift, given in secret, is priceless!
Lord, please hear my humble petitions and bless my spouse with abundant joy and peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
