Scripture To Pray Over Your MarriageSample

Scripture:

The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

Prayer:

Loving Father, You are the model for what our love is to look and feel like in our marriage. Your love comes with strength. You defend and rescue us in our times of need - a victorious warrior. This also means Your love is imbued with courage, it's a courageous love which seeks our safety, security and freedom. Let our marriage relationship reflect this courageous love for each other. Let us seek to defend or rescue each other from whatever life serves up - whether it be difficulties at work, in other relationships, in the home or even with our own emotional well-being. Let us be quick to come to the other's needs, and to do so with joy and happiness - as You do.

God, You also demonstrate to us the power of a quiet love. This is a steady love which we know is there. It doesn't need to be announced. It doesn't need to be decorated by gifts or outings. Rather, Your quiet love gives us calm in knowing You are present, attentive and available. Make us both in our marriage present, attentive and available to each other. Give us the gift of a quiet, steady love in our marriage relationship. And let us also experience those moments of joy and rejoicing - whether in activities we do together - or in learning how to support each other in our own various hobbies or interests. Give us hearts that seek to make our spouse joyful simply due to our own joy in them. In Christ's name. Amen.
