About 30 days ago, I made a commitment with my husband to pray each day together. I have to admit that we didn’t quite make our goal. We probably missed about 5 or 6 times over the past month. But that actually turned out to be a good thing, because I noticed on the days we missed, we tended to get more irritated with one another than on the days we prayed.

Was it simply a coincidence? Should I just chalk it up to positive thinking or some self-fulfilling prophecy?

I think this change is very much like something we’re all probably familiar with. Remember the terrible, dark days of dial-up? When it took three days just to log on to your email account?

But then you upgraded your internet connection and it was like the heavens parted—cue the angels singing, right? What a difference the extra power gave to your experience.

What if there were some really small tweak that we could make in our lives and marriages that would pack a powerful punch? Allow me to call this little miracle a Holy Spirit Power Booster (HSPB). The good news is that God give us many powerful promises or HSPB’s in life . . .

So when you simply apply God’s promise, you gain so much more than you ever expected.

I’ve already felt God speaking to my heart about another power booster that I’m going to employ for the next 30 days—through the month of June. I’m not going to tell you about it until the 30 days are up. If you come back here in 30 days-ish, you’ll find out why I’m waiting to let you in on the secret and what exactly the secret is!

So, mark your calenders in big sparkling letters around the end of June to check back with messy marriage, okay?

But in the meantime, if you haven’t taken my challenge to pray with your mate every day, then try doing it for the next 30 days. And if your mate won’t pray with you, then pray blessings for them for the next 30 days. Then come back here and tell me if you noticed an improvement in your relationship.
