Marriage

Father,

I realize that there is no requirement that these children marry as some are called to be single. If that is any of their callings, I pray that they will embrace their singleness and use it to serve you. But if they choose to marry, I pray that you are now raising up a godly young man or woman for each of them who will be their future spouse. I pray that you help them to understand that they should not look for a husband or a wife to "complete" them, rather that they become a complete person in you and that they come into the marriage already complete. May they take seriously their marriage vows and look to you for strength to hang in there during the hard times. Help them to see the blessing that they can be to your kingdom as a married couple. I pray they live to experience a long marriage and the joy of a life-long love. If they should have children, I pray that you give them wisdom in raising those children to serve you.

Amen
