31 Prayer Prompts for When Marriage is Hard

There are many prayer prompts out in social media – for your child, for your spouse, for yourself. I enjoy sharing them because it seems they’re a blessing to many people. As I thought about prayer prompts, I realized I’ve never shared a list of prompts here.

I’ve shared prayers for anxiety, and resources for when marriage is difficult. I’ve also shared access to a support group, encouragement while you wait for redemption, and Scriptures to cling to, but not prayer prompts.

Why are prayer prompts helpful? In the day-to-day of life, we can get quite distracted. We can also get overwhelmed as we walk through struggles, like the times when marriage is hard. Prayer prompts give us something to focus on and to pray over. It’s a gentle reminder to keep praying, and a suggestion of what to pray for.

So today is the day for a list of 31 prayer prompts – enough for every month!

At the bottom of the post you have the option to download the prayer prompts to have them for personal use.
