Erica and I just got back from a marriage and leadership retreat at the Inn above Onion Creek, so it seemed appropriate that our first daily prayer would relate to marriages. I invite you to pray this prayer for your own marriage, or to adapt it to pray for other folks marriages.
Here is today's prayer:
Prayer Of Spouses For Each Other
Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths. Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.
May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection.
Amen.
