For Faithful Spouses

Giver of Marriage,
Keep husbands and wives faithful to each other and to their vows. Foster in them a greater curiosity and desire to pursue each other more and more as each year passes. Protect them from outside distractions and temptations, and do not allow disinterest or indifference toward each other to settle in. Guard their hearts and minds from entertaining the lies and deceptions planted by the evil one. Direct them to each other for the fulfillment of their desires for physical and emotional intimacy, and make them willing and eager to serve each other according to their spouse’s needs. Fill each of them spiritually with an awareness of your love and faithfulness to them. Lead them always to look first to you for what only you can provide, not allowing either husband or wife to elevate their spouse to that level. Otherwise, they will only find disappointment and unmet expectations. Finally, Lord, cover marriages with your gracious forgiveness. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Those Being Confirmed in Christ

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. This time of year, many young people who have been instructed in the teachings of the Christian faith are being confirmed. Bless them as they confess their faith in Jesus and make their promises to you and to their congregations to remain in their faith and grow in it. Keep them from taking their vows lightly and lead them to a clear understanding of how important they are. Instill in each class of confirmands a camaraderie and sense of spiritual responsibility for each other, so they can encourage each other and hold each other accountable. Guide parents to faithfully carry out their roles of modeling the faith in the home. Lead congregations to embrace their responsibility of continuing to shepherd these young people and prioritize their spiritual health. Draw all confirmands continually closer to their Savior and keep them faithful to the end, so that each may receive the crown of life Christ won for them. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
