7 Short Prayers to Pray With Your Spouse Before Bed

Thirty seconds each. One of you reads it out loud; the other adds a sentence, or doesn't.

  1. 1.

    For a good day — Father, this was a good one. Thank you. Let us remember it when the next hard week comes.

  2. 2.

    For gratitude — God, we didn't earn today. Keep us from taking each other for granted.

  3. 3.

    Over each other — Jesus, bless the person lying next to me more than I know how to.

  4. 4.

    For the household — Lord, guard this home, and give us patience with the people in it, starting with each other.

  5. 5.

    Before a decision — God, we don't know which way to go. Make the next step clear enough to take.

  6. 6.

    For someone else — Father, we're bringing [name] to you tonight. Meet them where we can't.

  7. 7.

    For rest — God, quiet our minds. Let sleep do what worry couldn't.
