Praising God
Heavenly Father, Your peace protects, provides for, and promotes greater harmony and satisfaction in our marriage. I praise You for peace that guards us according to Philippians 4:7:
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Accessing Your peace is as simple as focusing on You.
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you(Isaiah 26:3).”
Thank You for the gift of peace through Jesus Christ and what it will accomplish in our marriage and in our thoughts, and in our hearts. In Christ’s name, amen.
Praying for Blessing and Intervention
Gracious Lord, fill my spouse with Your peace. Help my spouse to recognize Your presence in their life more fully and guide them in focusing their mind on You rather than on the worries of this world.
Give my spouse an unshakeable confidence in You as our source of peace and as our provider so that they can rest in You. Make me a model of peace to my spouse by giving me the grace of a gentle spirit. Help us both to look to You first before responding or reacting to each other out of our emotions, especially emotions of worry, fear, anxiety, or disappointment.
You promise us perfect peace when our minds are focused on You. I ask that You cultivate in my spouse a desire to pray with me and walk with me spiritually so that we develop the habit and routine of always focusing on You. In Christ’s name, Amen.
