Episode 254 - Praying God’s Word for Your Marriage with Jodie Berndt

“I’m going to make myself at home in God’s love and let His love
course through me and equip me to love my spouse well.” Moms in
Prayer welcomes Jodie Berndt to the podcast, speaker and author
of the bestselling Praying the Scriptures book series. Jodie
talks about her new book, Praying the Scriptures for Your
Marriage. Listen in as she reminds us that this is not about
“fixing” your spouse, but bringing your cares and concerns to
God. As we do that, He softens our hearts, knits our hearts
together, and goes to work.

SCRIPTURES


The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I
will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 NIV


Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and
walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself
up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians
5:1-2 NIV


Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all
my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their
children forever! Deuteronomy 5:29 NIV


For it is God who works in you both to will and to
do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 NKJV


For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and
honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is
blameless. LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
Psalm 84:11-12 NIV


“I’ve loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves
at home in my love. If you keep my commands, you’ll remain
intimately at home in my love.” John 15:9 MSG 


Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but
in humility count others more significant than
yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own
interests, but also to the interests of others.  Philippians
2:3-4 ESV
