Dear LORD, thank You for the hundreds of couples You have sent our way. Thank You for using the broken pieces of our past to forge a testimony to You—how relationships and marriage can be made whole and redeemed for Your glory.
Please bless all those whom You have sent us. Build hedges of protection around them to keep them focused on how to listen, how to have servant's hearts toward each other, and how to pass those skills and commitments down through all the generations to come.
Keep me and my precious bride available to share the experience, strength, and hope which we have learned only through You. Send us more, Father, until our usefulness is done.
This we pray in the strong and mighty name of Jesus, who rescued us. Amen.
