You Are Not the Only One

Dear Abba Father;

I praise You today for who You are. I come to You in prayer today for married couples. You created marriage and You expected Your children to hold it as a sacred bond between a man and his wife. When that bond is violated by the sin of adultery You hold us accountable for that sin. It is not something that we should revel in and or boast about. Jesus taught us…

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Matthew 19:4-6 NKJV. https://biblehub.com/matthew/19-4.htm

Dear Abba, You created the Christian covenant of marriage when You brought a man and woman together in the sacrament of holy matrimony. I pray for a hedge of protection around married couples, Abba. Please work in their hearts and guide them to love, honor, and serve one another, as You have loved, honored, and served us. Ephesians 5:21 NKJV. https://biblehub.com/ephesians/5-21.htm

Abba, adultery, has become common place in this nation. It is a plague as devastating as any of the Old Testament plagues. So, as You work in the hearts of married couples I pray that their priorities be ordered by You, with You at the center of their marriage, they have hope. ABBA, please help married couples to REMEMBER, You are the ultimate authority over every Christian marriage, and Your divine plan for their union is perfect. Colossians 3:14 NKJV. https://biblehub.com/colossians/3-14.htm

Abba, please show couples that as Christian husbands and wives, they must guard their marriage and be good stewards of all God has bestowed upon them. Strengthen their marriages and give wisdom and guidance to each partner to stay on guard against temptations—the things and people that Satan would throw at them to destroy their marriages. Mark 10:9 NKJV. https://biblehub.com/nkjv/mark/10-9.htm

Dear Abba, Please bless each marriage union. Work in and through these couples to minister to one another and others, encourage the body of Christ, and glorify You. Abba, help us all to strive to be godly examples of God’s love for others, starting with our families, and our marriages. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, I pray, Amen.
