Description
5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse by Michael and Melissa Kruger is a short book consisting of prayer prompts derived from various Scripture passages. 5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse is divided into 4 sections each with its own subsections that include multiple prayer prompts. Some of the prompts are for your spouse individually and some are for you as a couple. For example, prompt 5 on page 13 is derived from 1 Corinthians 1:8. It is titled Grace to Persevere and reads, “He will also keep you firm to the end (v 8). The Christian life is not easy. It’s a long race in which we feel tired or even exhausted, and ready to give up. The only way we make it to the finish line is by God’s grace (Hebrews 12 v 1-2). Pray that God would grant endurance and perseverance to your spouse so that they may run the Christian race with joy and faithfulness and not give in to despair and discouragement.”
I really like the way this and the other 5 Things to Pray books are set up. The book is filled with Scripture and offers a very brief commentary on the verse provided and ties the verse into the prayer prompt. 5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse has been a sweet blessing to my marriage. Only in recent years have I learned the importance of praying for my husband and praying for him faithfully has produced sweet fruit. Read my full review here.
