Dear Lord God,
Thank You for Your gift of Christian covenant marriage, as Jesus taught...
"But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Mark 10:6-9
I pray for all of the marriages around me, that they will seek You above all else.
That they will be an example to everyone about the love Christ has for His Church.
Please help husbands to love their wives.
Please help wives to love their husbands.
May they lift each other up with Your Word and truth that they may flourish into the godly couples You intended them to be.
Lord, I also pray for broken marriages, and ones struggling to hang on, that You would bring reconciliation and restoration to them.
And, thank You for rescuing, loving and saving sinners and those who fail, like me.
I pray this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
