Prayer for a Marriage Under Money Stress

For couples arguing about bills, debt and a budget that will not stretch.

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)

Lord, money is causing stress in our marriage. Bills are piling up, we disagree about spending, and it is hurting our relationship.

Provide what we need. Give us wisdom to make a budget, cut what we can and plan for the future.

Help us talk about money calmly and honestly. Keep us on the same team, not against each other.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Teach us contentment and trust.

Turn this hard season into something that strengthens us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Lord, keep us on the same team and provide what we need. Amen.
