We are delighted to join you in prayer for Dipti Mati Pal's upcoming marriage. Let us first acknowledge that marriage is a holy institution ordained by God. As it is written in Hebrews 13:4 WEB, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." We will pray and encourage this marriage between a man and a woman.
Before we begin, it is important to note that our prayers should be directed to God through Jesus Christ, as He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and been saved in His name, let this be your number one priority. Also if you're not sure, then confess your sins and have faith in Jesus and in His Resurrection and you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8 states, βfor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,β. That will make prayer in Jesus' Name more than just a phrase you say but instead a matter of life and death, so to speak, because it means you truly have the right to a relationship with God the Father. Our team believes in the name of Jesus we will pray for this union to be based upon Biblical principles of purity, forgiveness, and commitment, therefore, look at yourselves as each being a holy temple, as our body is the temple of the holy spirit, and therefore marriage between a husband and wife is also an institution of marriage created by God. And although the individuals might not be Christian and will remain a part of each other's lives, it should not be carried on without a covenant of matrimony. Therefore this must be assumed when discussing marriage and holy matrimony here.
We ask God our Lord Jesus Christ to be a part of their lives and this is most important even beyond their marriage.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Dipti Mati Pal and her upcoming marriage. We thank You for the gift of marriage and ask that You guide and bless this union.
Lord, we pray for all the financial needs and arrangements for this marriage. We know that You are a loving and providing Father, and we trust in Your provision.
We seek help for both the bride and the groom that they may prepare themselves for marriage as it is only fitting to choose holy spouses for holy marriage. Not every couple is fit to marry and need our prayers. Let it be so according to God's will in this case too, Lord. We seek them to court Jesus first and foremost so that when this marriage is to occur in December that we can pray knowing You both will be a part of it! Jesus Christ is the right and only spiritual rock for the foundation for every marriage Lord God!
Please teach them 2 Corinthians 6:14 which states, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" and therefore we may know how to pray Lord.
In Jesus Christβs name, we pray. Amen.
Further, we want to let all parties know how it is known they will be courted well ahead of time. Just in case anybody says they have had sex together or anyone has plans to honeymoon before they are married let them know God can forgive us, but we must ask. And it is forbidden by God. We know God has forgiven us for our past. But it's equally important to stay faithful even to our soon-to-be spouse. It says in Corinthians 6:18 βFlee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person does is outside of the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.β
Courtship is getting to know if it is God's will you should have an upcoming marriage and our part in building one another up in prayer to God almighty.
