MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 5 - OVERCOMING THE ENEMY

ECCLESIASTES 4:12
"And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Lord Jesus, the enemy wants nothing more than to slowly erode the strength of our union.  He would love to divide us over our differences, our perceived weaknesses in each other, and even our varying interests.  He wants us to slowly pull away from each other in these things and grow division between us, knowing that if we are unaware of this slow decay, then he will get us far enough apart that we will lose hope.  But we give You access and authority into these areas in our life and we ask that Your grace be the bridge for any divide in our marriage that already exists and that Your perfect love would bind us together in peace.  We invite Your presence into our home and pray that it produces the type of harmony that results in oneness of purpose.  May we be one together and one with You as we submit to Your purpose for our marriage.  We give You thanks in advance for the peace that will exist in our marriage, even in the changing circumstances.

To be elevated above level ground. To the place where God dwells, lives, moves; and exists through all times. He who was, is, and is to come; Jehovah [the existing one]. The question continues to be asked of whom should transcend [be or go beyond the range or limits of] where they are right now? Who will remain; rise up. To the dwelling of sanctity, reverence, sacredness, and a dwelling that is separated from uncleanliness.  4) This individual must stand without fault, clear of guilt from shame caused by one's actions, blameles

MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 14 - OUR WORDS

Image
PROVERBS 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Lord, we are completely humbled when we think about the grandness of Your kingdom and the gifts You have chosen to give us. Of all the ways You could have given us to communicate, You chose to give man words. We are especially grateful for this gift. Unfortunately, we acknowledge that we do not always treat our words as a gift and we are well aware of the damage our tongues can cause. Your Word tells us that our words are powerful and that our tongues have the ability to give life or to destroy it. Teach us to use our words to give life. Help us to keep quiet when we need to and to speak in love and gentleness when necessary. We desire that every part of our bodies be used as a vessel for Your glory and a testimony of Your goodness. Forgive us when we do not honor You with the things we say. We pray that You make our words gracious like a honeycomb that brings sweetness to th
