A MARRIAGE PRAYER COVERING
Heavenly Father, Possessor of both heaven, and earth, Creator of the universe, Jehovah Jireh, (the Lord our Provider) we beseech thee humbly, Lord: please hearken to our cry.

Lord we ralize that in and of ourselves we can do nothing.  we bear witness Father that in you we live, move and have our being.  That you are our Sustainer, our sustenance, and our strength.

Christ Jesus, we surrender to you our hearts, our lives, our wills, our goals, objectives, our future, our all and our (everything) but above and beyond that we desire to put our marriages on the altar; we place them before you lovingly, and willingly, to do with them according to your good pleasure.

Lord and Savior we know that whatever we give over  to you gladly, and without reservation you will take (this offering) unto yourself as a sweet smelling sacrifice, and you will multiply that ten times over, so we surrender to you our marriages (as is) whatever the state, or condition; because with your help, and direction there is a limit to what we can do.

Father allow for us to be a perfect reflection of the light which you project, and permit us (if you will) to be a mirror image of the purity and integrity you reflect in a confused, and mixed up world.

Lord God, let us so portray your virtue, and your character in our marriages, that we draw others to you, (by your grace and mercy) simply because, and for no other reason than they can see, hear, feel and sense your Presence residing within us.

Christ Jesus, help us to soar high above the petty gripes, misunderstandings, minor disagreements, and conflicts on wings of knowledge and understanding, wisdom, and discernment.  make us to grow in love; and the knowledge of your grace, and keep us humble like little children at your feet.

Now Lord we thank you in advance Father, calling those things that be not as though they are, in Christ Jesus, bless your name; and Lord we will give you all the thanks and praises for it, from this day forward and forevermore!!!  Amen.
