House of Israel/Lighthouse Ministries Daily Prayer
Dear God,
I praise You today for who You are.
I come to You in prayer today for married couples.
You created marriage, as Jesus taught us...
And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘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.”
Matthew 19:4-6
You create a Christian covenant marriage when You bring a man and woman together in the sacrament of holy marriage.
I pray for a hedge of protection around married couples.
Please work in their hearts and guide them to love, honor and serve each other.
May their priorities be ordered by You, with You at the center of their marriage.
You are the authority over every Christian marriage.
May every Christian husband and wife guard their marriages and be good stewards of all You have bestowed — and will bestow — upon them.
Strengthen their marriages and give wisdom and guidance to each partner to stay on guard against temptations — the things and people that Satan would throw at them in an effort to destroy their marriages.
Please bless each marriage union.
Work in and through these couples to minister to one another and to others, to encourage the body of Christ and to glorify You.
May we all be godly examples of Your love to others.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, I pray,
Amen.
