To Be Good Stewards of Your Grace – Today’s Marriage Prayer

To Be Good Stewards of Your Grace –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for our home and everything in it. May we never take a single one of Your gifts for granted, or waste the things that you have provided.

One look around us, and we can easily see an enormous bounty of grace. But when we’re focused on the things that we don’t have, we fail to notice the countless gifts that we do have.

Help us to take care of our home. Show us ways to make it more comfortable for each other. Teach us to be good stewards of Your grace, and help us to invest our gifts well. Remind us to give thanks often—never to complain—and to take pleasure in this life that we share.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
