30 Day Prayer 4 Your Marriage Challenge Day 26

Pray for any idols in your lives

Pray for any idols in your lives ,your work, hobbies, free-time activities. Ask God to convict you both of any idolatry. Often, idolatry is at the root of our greed, jealousy, anger, and more. Ask for God to illuminate areas of your lives where you are putting anything (even your marriage!) as a greater priority than knowing and loving God. Pray God would reorient your hearts to seek Him above all things. Ask God for wisdom in how to help your spouse overcome the idols in his or her life.

Psalm 115:4-8

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:"

Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

We must be careful that we don't create idols in our lives to replace God without knowing it. As we live our daily lives we can often stray off course with jobs, friends and commitments in and outside church. We need to focus and stabilize out thoughts and actions to balance out where God is first. Pray that prayer with your husband that God keeps you on top of idolatry in your life. Join us tomorrow for day 27, God bless.
