We join you in thanking God in advance with a heart of gratitude and faith, for we know that every good gift comes from Him and that thanksgiving is His will for us.
We love your posture of faith, choosing to thank Him before you see the week unfold. The scripture tells us In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. We pray that this very peace will rest upon you this work week, not that there will be no demands or challenges, but that His peace will guard you from stress and anxiety. We also remember Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23, and we pray that He will grant you focus, accuracy, wisdom and productivity, so that your work may be excellent and bring glory to Him. We thank God with you for He is faithful to equip you for all He has called you to do.
We also rejoice with you as you thank God for your marriage. We strongly endorse and celebrate marriage as God designed it, a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and we thank Him for the blessing of your union. We pray that God will continue to bless and keep your marriage happy, holy and full of love and prosperity in Him. As it is written What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate Mark 10:9. We pray that you and your spouse will love one another deeply as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25, and that you will show honor and reverence to one another Ephesians 5:33. We pray for many years together, growing in unity, forgiveness, joy and prosperity that is rooted in walking in His ways.
We pray together now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You with thanksgiving. We thank You in advance for this work week, for Your peace that surpasses understanding, for clarity of mind, for accuracy in every task, and for productive hands that work as unto You. Remove all stress and anxiety and replace it with Your calm strength and joy. We thank You for this precious marriage. We ask You to bless it abundantly, to guard it, to deepen love and friendship and faithfulness between husband and wife, and to grant many, many years of love, happiness and prosperity that honors You. Let this marriage be a testimony of Your goodness and covenant love. We thank You for hearing us, for Your will is good and perfect, and we trust You to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
