MARRIAGE PRAYERS - DAY 8 - OUR JOURNEY

JEREMIAH 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Father, thank You for reminding us in Your Word that Your plan for our marriage is always for our good. Our marriage covenant is one that You look upon with great joy as a recognized relationship of honor in Your kingdom. As such, You have committed to prosper it and to give it a lasting future filled with hope. In the tough times that we have seen and the ones that are to come help us to remember that You are good and that what we see is not all that is to be seen. Help us to know beyond our natural sight that You are working even in the darkest of times. Help us to keep our eyes and minds on You, knowing that our hope doesn’t come from our circumstances, but in the promises You have made. May our lives and our marriage be filled with joyful expectation of all that is to come through our union to each other as we seek Your face and Your grace on this journey. In the lowest of valleys and the highest of peaks may our marriage be marked by an unwavering commitment and a steadiness that comes from trusting You.

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

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
