Dearest Sister,

Here is a little prayer for you.

Knowing God's Plan for Marriage

Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life. O my God, I trust in, lean on, rely on and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies (rejection, hurt, inferiority, unworthiness) triumph over me.

Father, it is written, For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord...(Jer. 29:11-14 amp).

In the name of Jesus, I always pray and do not turn coward (faint, lose heart and give up).

Father, I am looking for Your plan, Your answer for my life. It is my desire to be married. But, I must be sure in my decision that I am living as You intend and accepting whatever situation You have put me into. According to Your Word, marriage will bring extra problems that I may not need to face at this time in my life.

All the ways of a man or woman are pure in his or her own eyes, but You, Lord weigh the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart). Therefore, I roll my works upon You, [commit and trust them wholly to You; You will cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will, and] so shall my plans be established and succeed.

Because You, Lord, are my Shepherd, I have everything I need!

You let me rest in the meadow grass and lead me beside the quiet streams. You give me new strength. You help me do what honors You the most.

Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me, guarding, guiding me all the way.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as Your guest; my blessings overflow!

Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with You forever in Your home.

In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Overcoming Rejection in Marriage

Father, in the name of Jesus, __________ and __________ are delivered from this present evil age by the Son of the Living God, and whom the Son has set free is free indeed. Therefore, they are delivered from a spirit of rejection and accepted in the Beloved to be holy and blameless in His sight. They forgive all those who have wronged them, and their hurts from the past are healed, for Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted.

They are God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved. They clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. They bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances they may have against one another. They forgive as the Lord forgave them. Over all these virtues, they put on love, which binds them together in perfect unity.

When they were children, they talked like children, thought like children and reasoned like children, but now they have become husband and wife, and they are done with childish ways and have put them aside. The blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purges their consciences from dead works of selfishness, agitating passions and moral conflicts, so they can serve the Living God. They touch not any unclean thing, for they are a son and daughter of the Most High God. Satan’s power over them is broken and his strongholds are torn down. Sin no longer has dominion over them and their household.

The love of God reigns supreme in their home, and the peace of God acts as an umpire in all situations, Jesus is their Lord — spirit, soul and body. Amen.
