Marriage Prayer Day 27

2 Corinthians 10:5-6

We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and breakthrough every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God.  We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.
(TPT)

 

 Today Lord we pray over our marriage.  We pray to remember the seriousness and the sacredness of our vows spoken before You.  We pray that neither of us would allow negative or lustful thoughts to be entertained but that we would immediately exercise Your word and take them captive.  Lord we pray to grow our relationship built on trust and honesty bound in Your love.

Proverbs  27:17

It takes a grinding wheel to sharpen a blade, and so one person sharpens the character of another.
(TPT)

 Lord we thank You for the gift of us to each other.  May we never take our marriage for granted.  We ask that You bind us in the power of the Holy Spirit and protect our union.  We pray that we are an example and an influence on others around us, seeking to know You.  We pray that we are excepting of those whom You bring into our lives that challenge us.

Marriage Prayer Day 25

Philippians 1:9-10

I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things.  This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all - becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
(TPT)

 Lord this world wants to pull us in all directions, telling us how to think, what decisions to make and how to act as man and wife.  We pray to hear Your voice and Your word and allow Your truth to mold our marriage.  Lord help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us.  Help us to work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us.  Lord we place our marriage into Your hands and we pray for the strength and wisdom of Your love into our marriage.

Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.

Lord thank You for the gift of communication.  We repent for the times we have used our words to hurt one another.  Please give us wisdom to choose our words wisely and to use them to bring life and increase love.  Let our words be gracious and bring peace and health to the body and soul.

John 15:16-17

You didn't choose me, but I've chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit.  And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of My father, for My sake, He will give it to you!  So this is My parting command; love one another deeply!
(TPT)

 Lord we pray to immerse our marriage into Your word.  We thank You that You have given us each other to love and we thank You for Your generous love.  We pray that our marriage would affect those around us as an example of Your love for Your church.  Help us to live out Your word and love one another deeply.

Luke 11:28

"Yes," said Jesus.  "But God will bless all who listen to the word of God and carefully obey everything they hear."
(TPT)

 Lord we pray to hear Your voice and follow Your path.  Speak to us so we may do Your will.  Help us to recognize Your voice at all times and give us the courage to act when required.  Help us to quiet the noise of our daily lives and it's distractions.  We pray to get into Your presence and honor You with our marriage and as individuals at all times.

Marriage Prayer Day 21

Philippians 4:6-9

Don't be pulled in different directions or worry about a thing.  Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled request before God with overflowing gratitude.  Tell Him every detail of your life, then God's wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.  So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind.  And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.
(TPT)

 

Lord we pray against the lies the enemy uses to create insecurity and doubt in our marriage.  We pray that You keep our thought life healthy and that we would walk in love and commitment to each other.  Lord we need Your love and peace to succeed. We commit ourselves to praying against any attacks the enemy throws at us.  We stand confident in You and Your word.
