“I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.

Psalm 40:1-3 (NKJV)

“Lord, I cry out to You;
Make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
Let my prayer be set before You as incense,
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 141:1-2 (NKJV)

A Couples Offering of Praise:

Heavenly Father, we come before you in reverence and total worship. We thank you for inclining your ear to our prayer and our cry.

Father, we wait patiently for you and we place our trust in you. We thank you for guiding and ordering our footsteps; as we draw closer to you. We ask that you set our feet upon your solid rock, and give us the strength to stand in the midst of storms and adversity.

Father, we come together with lifted hands in total surrender to your will. Let our prayer be a sweet aroma in your throne room of grace. Father, receive our cry as an offering of sacrifice as we give our all to you. Father, forgive our shortcomings and our transgressions. We repent before you if we have offended you in anyway. We come to you with a transparent an open heart as an offering of praise to your Holy Presence.

Father, we lift up every marriage represented through our readers. We ask that you strengthen them and guide them through your word. We pray that you bind them together in love and unity; as you have ordained in their marriage. Father, be the center of each marriage and draw them closer to you. Father, let what you have joined together; that no man can put asunder. Father, you are the tie that binds and no one can break that; so we declare each marriage to be sacred in you.

Father, we thank you for our marriage, our Love, but most of all for YOU being our unbreakable bond. Father, we offer up this prayer to you. In Jesus name.

Amen
