Growing Home Together

Rob and Joanna Teigen bring you a daily prayer for your marriage, your children, and your heart of faith to help you grow closer to God and each other.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my child is creative, smart, and caring. But often they'd rather stare at a screen than engage with the people in their life. They're losing motivation to grow their interests and character. Give us wisdom to help our child handle technology with care. Amen.

Lord, my spouse is capable. They juggle responsibilities and show up for everybody. Yet while they seem to have it all together, I can forget they need encouragement. A listening ear. Praise and thanks. Help and support. Show me how to care for their heart. Amen.

Lord, I confess I came into marriage expecting a fairy tale. So when we suffer stress, conflict, or hardship, I'm deeply disappointed. Fearful doubts take hold. Teach me to be content with our real, messy life. Fill me with your tenacious and joyful love. Amen.

Lord, the best of our kids' friendships can fall to jealousy. Drama. Thoughtless words and gossip. In their immaturity, they struggle to work their way back to peace with one another. Help to mend what's been broken. Show my child your way of wisdom and love. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, you call us as a couple to "leave our father and mother" and establish our own household. Yet it's hard to set boundaries with the people in our lives. Give us courage to do what's best for our marriage and kids. Teach us your way of honor and grace. Amen.

Lord, my kids can treat each other like enemies instead of friends. They compete for attention and fight to be first. They're quick to throw insults but slow to be kind. I crave peace in our home that's rooted in your love. Do a new thing in my family. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my spouse holds a world of thoughts and feelings, questions and pressures inside their heart and mind every day. Make me sensitive to see what's under the surface. Show me how to listen and share the burdens they carry. May I love them well. Amen.

Lord, I've done all I can to help my child. Yet barriers to learning, growing, and joy still stand. Show me where to turn for help. Reveal the true source of the struggle. Fill us with patient faith that you'll give my child what they need to overcome. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, even now I feel the burden of holiday expectations on my shoulders. Move me from busy work to worship. From seeking others' approval to seeking your face. From giving "things" to giving my attention, compassion, and genuine love. Keep me in step with your Spirit. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, affection and attention from my spouse make me feel valued and cherished. Yet too often I chase after my spouse's love instead of resting in yours. Help me to find my identity in you. Keep me from looking to my spouse for what only you can give. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, when hard work stares my child in the face, they can turn tail and run. As we begin this week, give courage to tackle each challenge. Grow endurance to finish what they start. Silence the inner doubts that weaken my child's confidence to succeed. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, it's hard to stand by while my spouse is disrespected and treated unfairly. Even when they go above and beyond, they're told it's not enough. I pray you will bring reward and blessing to my spouse. Protect their reputation and give them peace. Amen.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my child is the last to complain and the first to simply do what needs doing. Yet in their quiet compliance, needs go unmet. Emotions are held inside. They carry their burdens alone. Show me how to meet my child with love in their hopes, struggles, and fears.

Failure hurts, doesn't it? We can question our worth and what's at stake if we don't meet others' expectations. So where do we go when we feel we're not enough?

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my spouse is the kind of faithful person everybody depends on. Yet so often, they give far more than they receive. Shine your favor on my spouse. Lavish your blessings as they bless others. Give enduring strength to keep loving and giving in your name. Amen.
#prayingcouple

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my child is busy and tired and feeling it's all too much. I miss the sound of playful laughter. Silly jokes and bear hugs. Creativity and curiosity about this wild, wonderful world you made. Show us how to slow down and recapture the joys of childhood. Amen.
#prayingparent

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Let's be honest--we can suffer a persistent disappointment in marriage that spirals to despair and anger when issues between us feel too deep-set to change. Prayer is the hope in the dark.

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, my spouse feels the physical wear and tear of working hard and serving our family. Stress steals sleep. Long days bring aches and pains. Immunity suffers. I pray you'll protect my loved one's health and give strength to love and live to the full. Amen.
#prayingcouple

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, we aim to raise our children to know who you are. Our family goes to church. We pray and give to charity. We sing praises and read your Word. I pray our spiritual disciplines would be more than empty habits. Show our kids you're real. May they believe. Amen.
#prayingparent

[Growing Home Together @RobJoannaTeigen]

Lord, I'm proud of my spouse. They're smart, hardworking, and fiercely loyal. Yet so often I see that insecurity and shame is clouding the truth. Show me how to encourage my spouse with loving, honoring words. Give assurance of priceless worth as your child. Amen.
