My youngest dear daughter, Sara, is getting married soon. Her sister, who is a photographer, took these these pretty pictures and I wrote this prayer.
Dear God,
This young man is the one we prayed for all these years. He showed up and captured her heart.
As they walk out these next few months, please ready their hearts one for the other.
Give them singular focus.
Remind them that the best relationship starts with always remembering You.
Dear God, give them one heart to know You and love You.
Help them stay humble.
Ever grateful that all good things come from Your hand.
Let them find comfort in one another.
And give them wisdom to know godliness with contentment itself is great gain.
Give her a heart to follow his leadership.
Always loving and encouraging and supporting him.
Give him a heart to follow Your leadership.
Always loving and protecting and cherishing her.
As they start their life together … help them love You with all their energy, all their life.
And out of that overflow … help them to love others too.
God, let them have a ton of fun with each other.
Forever.
Amen.
