To Look Forward In Hope –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for entrusting us with the beautiful gift of marriage. I pray that we will never take for granted or carelessly neglect what You have given.

We ask that You teach us patience and give us the perseverance we need to endure difficult times. May You give us the words we should speak to heal rather than to wound — to restore rather than to divide. Give us the strength to press on if we feel like giving up, and to look forward in hope when we feel like looking back in anger.

Teach us what teamwork should look like, and how to be strong for each other. Help us to stand guard of our marriage protecting it from powers seeking to destroy what You have created. Help us to stand against any temptations that would draw us away from Your perfect will.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14
