So many times I hear women say that they have no desire to have sex with their husbands, or that they don't enjoy it as much as he does. Sex is a vital need in a marriage, for both man AND woman. Today our prayer is for God to bless the sexuality of our spouse, for God to make that an area of great fulfillment. Pray for God to restore what needs to be restored. Ask God to protect your intimacy from resentment, unforgiveness, disappointment and disinterest. Ask the Lord to help you make time to be together. Pray for purity of mind and body. Ask God to close the door to anything lustful or sexually harmful to your marriage. Ask God to remove any thoughts or memories of sexual relations outside of your current marriage. Ask God to keep your intimacy new and alive, that you may always discover new ways to enjoy each other.
Verses to reflect on:
1 Corinthians 6:13
You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Proverbs 5:15-19
Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares, Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
