Prayer For Marriages And Families
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the spouse you have given me and all their wonderful qualities. Help me look for the good in my spouse every day and overlook any perceived flaws. Help us stay committed to one another and keep us both from temptation. Guide our future to glorify You and keep us healthy so we can work for your Kingdom. When we disagree, help us to approach one another with humility and respect. Deepen our communication and friendship so our relationship is stronger than ever. Help us guide our children and our entire family closer to You each day. May we put You first, and in turn see our love grow.
In Jesus' Name, Amen!
Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. Help us love in practical ways so that nothing can divide us. May our words be kind and our thoughts gracious. May we remain humble enough to ask for forgiveness and wise enough to freely give.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Grant us the strength to hold fast to our vows. When we got married we promised to love, honor, and cherish each other as long as we both shall live.
And so we ask that you teach us to love the way that we should, with patience and kindness, forgiveness and grace. Show us the best way to bestow honor one another. Open our hearts to fully cherish each other, and open our eyes to see the blessings we have.
Finally, Lord, may we never take these vows for granted, but rather fulfill them with honor and strength. In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today on behalf of marriages that are broken and those that are wounded and hurt.
A marriage is never beyond repair. There is always hope for those who put their trust in You, and so we stand in the gap for these couples, Lord, asking that you would restore the love between them. Tear down walls where they've been built, and heal each broken heart.
We ask that You would grant understanding and wisdom to those who are going through tough times. Teach them how to forgive, and how to rebuild what they've lost.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please bless our marriage with an abundance of joy. We started off strong, and it's our deepest desire that we finish that way.
Some couples go through life barely communicating, hardly enjoying each other's company, and missing out on the many blessings that marriage can bring.
We want more for our marriage. We want to be able to laugh together and to enjoy this journey we're on. Remind us to look for joy and to choose it over our sorrow. As long as we're living, may we always find a reason to smile.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
Dear God,
Thank you for this beautiful day. I pray over my marriage, asking that you infuse my husband and I with passion for life, passion for love and intimacy, passion to grow in wisdom, and passion to serve you together.
May hope rise in our hearts and may our love burn for each other like never before. Revive us and revive our marriage.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please teach us how to forgive. Your word tells us to forgive others as You have also forgiven us.
We need to let go of our anger, our hurt, and our pain so that we can move forward, Lord. Please help us to do that.
Help us to let go of resentment, and soften our hearts to choose love. Give us the wisdom to handle our pain wisely and to draw boundaries where they need to be drawn.
If we are angry, may we harness that anger so we don't sin against You. And when we are hurt, please help us heal. In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
Father God we come into your presence today and declare The Glory of Our Lord all around us, we so appreciate your love that has been spread abroad in our hearts, gracious Father hear our prayer this day.
We come before you to lift up our brothers & sisters in leadership, Father much more is asked of them in this calling, we humbly beseech you Lord to guide, fill these leaders with your Holy Spirit that they in turn will bless all that they minister to in the Body of Christ and to those who are yet to be called into your kingdom.
We give thanks for the sacrifices that are made by those in leadership on their families Lord, pray that the families will feel your love in the absence of their own fathers or mothers as they reach out to others.
Gracious Father we ask this in Jesus precious Name,
Amen.
