Praying for Your Spouse - Day 13: Their Trials

Everyone goes through trials. Sometimes prayer helps us avoid them. Not always, but in some cases, it makes all the difference. When trials do come, even if prayer didn't keep it from coming, it will most definitely help carry you through. Only God knows the depths of the burdens we carry. Ask God to give YOU wisdom and understanding to handle the situation the best way your spouse needs. Ask God to show you the best way to support your spouse as they go through this trial. Pray that God gives your spouse strength and patience to wait on the Lord. Ask that God gives them endurance and faith in God's plan. Pray that God will be their refuge until the storm has passed. Pray that they will find their strength in the Lord.

Verses to Reference:

1 Peter 1:6-7
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

 Psalm 55:22

Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. 

Psalm 55:16-18

As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noonI cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

 Psalm 71:20-21

Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.
