Upholding One Another In Love – Today’s Marriage Prayer

Upholding One Another In Love –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

We live in a world where many don’t hold to the same values we do for our marriage. Most don’t believe the same way that we do when it comes to Your truth.

Our lives are peculiar to those looking in, and our choices don’t always seem to make that much sense. We are called out of darkness to be holy, to be different from the world, even though this is the road less traveled.

Jesus said, “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Please give us the courage to walk in the Way, to live in truth, and to stand up for our faith, even when we’re standing alone. May we be steadfast, upholding one another in love, always abounding in hope.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Bible Verse

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. – 1 Peter 2:7-9, KJV

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. – 1 Peter 2:7-9, NIV
