Prayer: Praying For Each Other

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the gift of prayer. Thank You for allowing us the privilege and opportunity to come before You now in prayer. We lift up our marriage to You and ask that You would protect our marriage. We pray our relationship would be a testimony to others of Your goodness, Your love, and Your grace. We pray we would have a deep desire and strong will to pray for each other daily. Help us to be aware of how we are doing, needs we may have, and struggles we may be encountering so that we know what to pray for. Help us to share what is on our hearts so that we pray for each other. Please bless our marriage as we chase boldly after You in Jesus’ name AMEN!

[Intercessor]

For as the intercessions which, as members of one body we offer up for each other, spring from the feeling of love, so they have reference to this one head (Christ). Being thus also made in the name of Christ, what more do they than declare that no man can derive the least benefit from any prayers without the intercession of Christ? As there is nothing in the intercession of Christ to prevent the different members of the Church from offering up prayers for each other, so let it be held as a fixed principle, that all the intercessions thus used in the Church must have reference to that one intercession. Nay, we must be specially careful to show our gratitude on this very account, that God pardoning our unworthiness, not only allows each individual to pray for himself, but allows all to intercede mutually for each other.
