Dear LORD, You have sent another young couple this weekend. Thank You for trusting us with their story at such a pivotal moment.
Please give them open hearts and minds to hear and understand. Not just to listen to our words, but to receive Your truth. Not just to nod politely, but to be ready to grow.
Then, give my bride and me all the right words to convey Your love for their new marriage. Help us be Your spokespeople for how to get their marriage off on the right foot.
Help us to be loving, caring, kind, and thorough as we help them unfold the underlying principles and tools which will help them build a new family centered in You.
Not our principles. Yours. Not our tools. Yours. Not our wisdom. Yours.
Because we pray this in Jesus' special name. Amen.
