DAY 16: Love Intercedes
Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

You cannot change your spouse. As much as you may want to, you cannot play God and reach into their heart and mold them into what you want them to be. But that's what most couples spend a large part of their time to do- change their spouse.
A farmer cannot make a seed grow into a fruitful crop. He cannot argue, manipulate, or demand it to bear fruit. But he can plant the seed into fertile soil, give it water and nutrients, protect it from weeds, and then turn it over to God.
There is no guarantee that anything in this book will change your spouse. But that's not what this book is about. It is about daring you to love. But regardless of the soil you're working with, you are to get the weeds out of your marriage. You are to nurture the soil of your mate's heart and depend on God for the results.
But you won't be able to do this alone. You will need something more powerful than anything else you have. And that is effective prayer. Prayer works best when coming from a humble heart that is in a right relationship with God and others. No one knows better how to pray for your mate than you.
If your spouse doesn't have any type of relationship with God, then it's clear what you need to start praying for. One of the most loving things you can do for your spouse is to pray for them.
