Heavenly Father, we lift up this couple, who are deeply grateful for Your presence as the head of their lives. They thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for bringing them together and guiding them to this moment as they prepare for marriage. They acknowledge Your goodness and faithfulness and desire to honor You in all things, seeking to build a Christ-centered union.
Lord, we pray for Your continued guidance during their engagement and throughout their marriage. Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." May this truth anchor their steps and decisions as they navigate this sacred journey together.
We ask, Father, that You would provide the financial breakthrough they need to pay for their wedding. Your Word in Philippians 4:19 assures us, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." May this promise bring them peace as they trust in Your provision.
Lord, as they embark on their marriage, bless them with wisdom, patience, and love that reflects Your own. As Your Word declares in Ephesians 5:31-33, "For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ... each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Let their love be rooted in the principles of sacrificial love and mutual respect, guided by Your Spirit.
Finally, we pray that You would bless their home with peace, joy, and unwavering faith. May they always remember the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, amen.
