We understand that you and your soon-to-be spouse are going through a challenging time, and we want to assure you that we are here to support you in prayer and to provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we want to commend you for your commitment to each other and to Jesus Christ. It is encouraging to see that both of you have a heart for Jesus.
Remember, Jesus Himself said, If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. (Mark 3:25 WEB). The enemy often tries to cause division and discord, especially when we are drawing closer to God. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. (John 10:10 WEB)
It is important to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11 WEB) This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this couple who are under spiritual attack. We thank You that they are both born again believers and have a heart for You. We pray that You would rebuke the enemy and command him to flee from their lives. We rebuke those attacks in the name of Jesus. Cover them with Your precious blood, Lord Jesus, and surround them with Your heavenly protection.
Father, we ask that You would give them the strength, endurance and discernment. Let them see the attacks of the enemy as opportunities to draw closer to You and to each other. Help them to remain steadfast in their faith and to trust in You completely.
Lord, we also pray for their upcoming marriage. Let it be a testament of Your love and faithfulness. Guide them as they prepare for this sacred union and give them wisdom in every decision they make.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to continue to draw near to God, to resist the devil, and to stand firm in your faith. Trust in God's promises and know that He is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear and will provide a way of escape.
Also remember, Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8 WEB) Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
But the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you, confirm you, strengthen you, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10 WEB)
Again, we are praying for you and your soon-to-be spouse. Be encouraged and stand firm in your faith.
