Found this prayer in an online article I recently read. Shawn and I have shared it with a number of folks we know. I am going to try to begin praying it on a regular basis for my wife. Hope it encourages and challenges you today!!
PRAYER:
Dear God, Help me to keep life in the proper perspective. Help me to love the one you gave me with all my heart, even when I don’t feel like it. When I get distracted by all that must be done, remind me to take the time and effort to communicate that my spouse is my first priority. Forgive me for all the times I have ignored my spouse – all those times I have let people or things or activities take up time that should have been spent with him. Forgive me for all those times I gave my partner only what was left after everybody and everything else had had its share. Teach me to be more generous and less greedy, more sensitive and less selfish, more focused and less hectic. Teach me how to show love to my spouse every single day. Amen.
