What a joyous occasion to lift before the Lord! Engagement is a sacred step toward the covenant of marriage, and we rejoice with you in this season of preparation. The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 13:4, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* As you and your fiancé prepare for marriage, we pray that your relationship would be rooted in purity, patience, and a deep commitment to honoring God in every way.
It is beautiful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in Acts 4:12, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* May your engagement be a time of drawing closer to Christ individually and as a couple, seeking His will above all else.
We also encourage you to remember the words of Ecclesiastes 4:12: *"If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."* Your marriage must be built on the foundation of Christ, with Him as the cornerstone. Take this time to pray together, study God’s Word, and seek wise counsel from mature believers who can guide you in biblical marriage.
Let us pray together for you both:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this engagement and the plan You have for this couple. We ask that You would bind them together in Your love, wisdom, and truth. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, protecting them from temptation and worldly distractions. May their love for one another be a reflection of Your love for the Church, selfless and pure. Direct their steps as they prepare for marriage, and let every decision they make be aligned with Your perfect will.
Lord, we pray that their home would be a place of worship, peace, and godly influence. Teach them to serve one another in love, to forgive quickly, and to seek Your kingdom first in all things. Strengthen their faith and fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in unity and purpose.
We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to bring division, doubt, or impurity into their relationship. Let their engagement be a time of spiritual growth and preparation for the lifelong covenant of marriage. May they enter into this union with hearts fully surrendered to You, trusting in Your provision and guidance.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
As you move forward, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, seeking God’s face together. Let your engagement be a testimony of faith, and may your marriage bring glory to His name. If there are areas where you need biblical counsel or accountability, do not hesitate to seek it from your church family. We are cheering you on in this journey!
