For Whatever May Come –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I’ve heard it said, “Don’t pray for humility, because you’ll be inviting trials. Don’t ask for patience if you don’t want tribulation.”

We don’t want tribulation, Lord. We don’t want to be tried and we don’t want to suffer, but we know that these are good for our soul.

Every marriage goes through some ups and downs. Every couple has their fair share of trials. If we hope to get through them together, we need humility, patience, perseverance, and faith in the truth.

As much as we hate trials, they promote spiritual growth. They have the potential to empty ourselves of ourselves, and draw us closer together and closer to You. Therefore we’re thankful for them.

Prepare our hearts for whatever may come. May we be unwavering in the trials we are about to face. We ask that You use every opportunity to draw us closer together and closer to You.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
