A Prayer for Our Married Community
King of Kings, Prince of Peace,We exalt You and praise Your name.
We daily delight in your endless love
And bask in Your saving grace.
We come to You on bended knee,
In earnest prayer and petition:
Help us to live in harmony;
This is our goal and our mission.
"United as one, till death do us part,"
We lovingly spoke our pledge.
Help us defend and keep safe our cause;
In marriage we became one flesh.
Where there is brokenness, we ask You to mend it.
Where there is weakness, we ask for Your strength.
Where there is sin, we beg Your forgiveness.
Where there is doubt, we invite more faith.
Where there is pride, help us be humble.
Where there's resentment, help us find peace.
Where there is threat, we ask for protection.
Please shelter our love beneath Your wings.
Where there's a need, let us help one another.
Where there's temptation, help us resist.
Where we stumble, help us recover.
Where praise is needed, let it come from our lips.
Where there is pain, we ask for healing.
Where there is hate, replace it with love.
Where all seems hopeless, we beseech Your blessing.
From the depth of our heart we ask all the above.
This is our prayer and our deep desire,
This is the passion that consumes our hearts.
Help us to be an example for others—
Living happily forever 'til death us do part.
