Heavenly Father, this morning I woke up thinking about a long discussion a couple nights ago on one of the sites about gay marriage. Lord, if I could dedicate this prayer to You, but for also those husbands and wives that take marriage seriously. Lord, I find one of the greatest mysteries in the human experience is how You blend two individuals (man and woman) and make them become as one when they join as husband and wife. The “me” becomes “us” in our shared interests and goals in life. Things are no longer “mine” but “ours.” Lord, I feel with the woman that you blessed me with, our times of celebration as well as times of sadness and loss become shared experiences. We honor marriage, recognizing the sacrifices and blessings that come to those who are joined in holy matrimony. We also recognize that our archenemy, Satan, is intent on destroying the very foundation of marriage that You established from the beginning. We uphold the institution of marriage as defined in Scripture and honor it when we speak of it and the way we live it out with our spouse. Lord, may You bless these marriages today and when the difficult times come, as we know they will, let us always turn to You for guidance and understanding. Let us not turn away from the one you blessed us with like the world would do. Jesus, when we called upon You to be our Lord and Savoir, our minds were renewed. We became a new creature and now we are set apart from the rest of the world. Let us act like it. Let us show to the world how a marriage that is based on You, Lord can be. Lord I thank and ask the prayer in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
