Marriage Prayer – Strengthen Our Vows

Dear Heavenly Father,

Time and again we’ve seen Your power at work. You created this world and the heavens beyond. You breath life into everything from the trees to the flowers, every creature great and small, newborns who take their first breath, and every breath they take after that…

This universe, and each minute detail in it, is held in the palm of Your hands. We too are held in those hands, blessed by the grace of an incomparable God.

You revive and restore. You give hope where all hope is gone. And by Your Word You give life. And so we ask for that life-breathing force to move through our marriage. Renew any passion we’ve lost, strengthen our vows, and increase our desire to love.

In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. – Colossians 1:16-17, KJV
