Who We Become in Christ –
Today’s Marriage Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

In Your word, Peter refers to joy as unspeakable and full of glory (1 Peter 1:8). A joy so amazing it can’t be expressed, so marvelous it excels our understanding, and so limitless it fills every part of our being to overflowing.

Happiness can be fleeting, but Joy flows from within.

It’s not dependent on our circumstances, and can’t be measured by the things that we own. It’s a part of Who You are, and who we become in Christ.

We’ll always need Your help. We’ll have our ups and downs, and we’ll come to You in prayer. But even in the darkest moments of our life, we’re able to possess joy because we have a deep desire to abide in Your love.

We know that all things work together for good to those who love and put their trust in Your Son. May we always abide in Your love, with a glad heart, keeping Your word in the fullness of joy.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
