A Prayer For Grooms

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for my life!  Thank you for the many blessings you have given to me, most importantly the sacrifice of your son so that I may live with you in eternity!  Thank you for transforming my heart and for continuing the good work in me that you have prepared in advance.

Thank you for my fiancé and the love that she has for me!  I am so excited about experiencing marriage and living out the rest of my life with a companion.  Please help me to remain in you as I learn how to balance my life and my commitment as a husband.  Teach me how to be the husband my soon-to-be-wife needs.  I pray that I can be the head of our family and be the spiritual leader you have called me to be!

I lay these things at your feet and ask that you guide our marriage and give us wisdom in handling every aspect of what you give us including: finances, sex, children, jobs, housing, family, friends, church and anything else that requires a decision or commitment!

I pray for protection over our marriage!  Please send angels to guard our relationship from the schemes of the enemy.  I ask, Lord, that you protect my fiancé from temptations that may come.  Guard and protect her mind and her heart.  I pray the same for me, that you protect me from temptations and guard and protect my mind and heart.  Seal us and separate us from the ways of this world and help us to keep you at the center of our marriage.

I pray that we would both desire each other passionately and desire to pray with each other daily!  Reveal your will for our lives and show us that we are a team working together to further your kingdom!

In Jesus Name AMEN!
