A Prayer for my Marriage

In my 36 years of life, I’ve learned not to wait until things go wrong to speak to God, and with my marriage, I’ve learned to do the same.

So for 2021, I started the year on my knees in prayer, not because there have been attacks on our marriage, but because God is the foundation of what we’ve built and I want my marriage to remain strong.

My 2021 prayer for my marriage:

Lord, I come to you humbly in prayer to thank you for my strong black husband and ask that you continue to protect and bless the bond that we share.

I pray that you bridle our tongues toward one another and that you order our intentions.

That you give us the wisdom to grow, never take our vows for granted, and allow us to continue to willingly serve one another.

Please continue to guide us and help us to keep and seek you first in all that we do.

Amen.
