Father, I’m praying for all those in my
\nimmediate and extended family who
\nare married (name them)…<\/i><\/p>\n
Protect our marriages. May each husband be strong in his
\nfaith, yielded to the Lord, loving, kind, and considerate. May
\nthey all be men of prayer and students of the Word–in every
\nway the leaders and examples they are meant to be. May they
\nlove their wives as they love their own bodies, and may their
\nwives respect and love them. (Matthew 8:5-10; Romans 12:1;
\nJohn 13:34; Ephesians 4:32; 1 Peter 3:7; Psalm 119:15; Ephesians 5:33)<\/p>\n
May each wife be her husband’s help and support, the one
\nwho makes him complete. Help them all be submissive,
\nstrong, God-fearing, generous, and wise. May their husbands
\nhave confidence in them as they watch over the household,
\nand may their husbands and children call them blessed.
\n(Genesis 2:18; Ephesians 5:22; Proverbs 31:25, 30b, 20, 26, 27, 28)<\/p>\n
May husbands and wives be protected from the evil one,
\nwho wants to destroy marriages and disrupt families.
\nHelp them to live in the shelter of Your presence, protected
\nunder the refuge of Your wings. (John 17:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:3;
\nJohn 10:10; Psalm 91:1-4, 14-16)<\/p>\n
Keep their marriages free from the influence of the world.<\/p>\n
