And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2
Heavenly Father,
We thank You today Lord. We thank You that we can walk together in unity in the mind of the spirit. Walking in one mind on one accord being led by Your holy and precious spirit. The spirit of God, the Holy Ghost, which will lead us in Your righteousness in all that we set out to do. Lord Jesus, I pray that You will renew our mind to have the mind of the spirit. Let Your thoughts be our thoughts—pure, holy, and righteous; pleasing to the Father in Heaven. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Guarding the Heart and Mind
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23
Lord Jesus,
I pray that we will renew our minds and cast our cares at Your feet daily. In doing so, we will have a clean heart and a right spirit; the mind of Christ. That nothing defiled will come out of our mouth from our hearts. Give us the wisdom and understanding to know how to keep our mind and heart purified through You Jesus. Help us to take up our cross daily in prayer and in reading Your word. Hide Your word in our hearts that we will not sin against You. Strengthen us by the power of Your might to not give place to the enemy to attack our marriage. We thank You for our marriage and pray these things in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Wisdom and Understanding
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:5
Heavenly Father,
We thank You Jesus for today and each day that You give us. We do not take that for granted and we do not take You for granted. Draw our hearts to You even the more. Open the eyes of our hearts as we read Your word. I pray that You bless us with Your wisdom from the Father in Heaven. Let there be an understanding greater than ever before, that we consider each other in all areas of our lives walking together in our marriage. I pray that we will seek You Lord and Your counsel in all things on one accord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
A Whole-Hearted Marriage
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Colossians 3:14
Heavenly Father,
I pray that You would keep our hearts humble. Remind us daily that You are the One who gives and takes away. Help us to understand the truth that pride comes before a fall. We don’t want to fall, we want to stand firm and strong in You; Jesus. Stand in our marriage, in our integrity, in our faith, and in our relationships. Take out any pride from our hearts. Cut it out like a skilled surgeon. Lord Jesus, search our hearts and see if there is any prideful way in us. We love You Jesus, and desire to give You all the glory forever and ever. Lord Jesus, I thank You for our marriage. We pray that You would make us into a husband and wife who serve each other with our whole hearts. Give us the strength to take up our cross for one another daily. We pray that we would love each other with a passionate and pure love. Help us to give each other the attention and quality time we need and hunger for. Our marriage is a precious gift from You and we pray that we would love one another as such every single day. I pray these things in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:24
Heavenly Father,
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gift of marriage, even though sometimes we neglect to see it as a gift… it truly is. Thank You for using our marriage to reveal to us areas in our lives that need change and parts of our character that need transformation. We are so sorry that we sometimes have disagreements and spats. We pray that You would help us to fine tune our apologies, to be more humble and sincere. But we also pray that we would fine tune our forgiveness. We pray that we would be able to surrender the situation for the sake of our relationship and comfort each other in love. Thank You Jesus for constantly transforming our minds to be turned towards You always. I pray that we will strive to be a man & woman of integrity and that we would be the same person in private that we are in public. We want our integrity to be a blessing to our children and their children after. We want to leave a legacy of uprightness and a solid foundation of God’s will for our family. I pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Prayer for My Husband
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalms 121: 7-8
Heavenly Father,
I love my husband! It’s going to be a great day sweetheart! I am praying the peace of the Almighty God from Heaven to be upon you and in the atmosphere all around you because we serve a God that is in control and He is in control of all things. I pray Lord Jesus keep and protect my husband from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Let Your mind be in him, let Your words be his words, let Your thoughts be his thoughts; and let his ways be Your ways. Lord Jesus, allow him to see how You see. We thank You and praise You and love You, Jesus. Amen.

Lord Jesus,
I thank You for my wife. I thank You for blessing her. Strengthen her by the power of Your might and help her to stand firm no matter the storm we may face.

Thank You for giving me a strong and virtuous wife whom fears the Lord. Bless her in all that she sets out to do that You may receive the glory in Jesus name I pray, Amen!!
Prayer for Protection
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.
Isaiah 54: 17
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for our marriage. Thank you for the gift that we have to share life with another. I pray the protection of Jesus over our marriage! The enemy seeks to destroy the precious covenant that we have made one to another. His attacks are fierce and relentless. Please pour your Holy Spirit out on us, leading & guiding us; and showing us how to defend our marriage. Please give us courage and strength to endure the darkest seasons in our relationship. I pray that we will draw closer to You and closer to each other each and everyday. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Prayer for Healing
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah – 53:5
Heavenly Father,
I thank You for creating me in Your image. I thank You that every organ and tissue of my body functions in the perfection that You created it to function. I forbid any malfunction in my body in Jesus’s name. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, permeating His life through my veins, sending healing throughout my body. The Spirit and life of Your Word flow in me, cleansing my blood of every disease and impurity. Sickness and disease shall not be my portion, I am healed in Jesus’s name. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Because the Lord is for me, no disease can be against me. Every cell that does not promote life and health in my body is cut off from its life source. Jesus bore the curse for me. Therefore, I forbid any growths, imbalances, or disorders to inhabit my body. The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Therefore, I will not allow sin, sickness, or death to lord over me. I will not allow the devil any inroad to attempt to steal, kill, and destroy me. The Bible says that I have already been healed. I am more than a conqueror. I am an overcomer, the head and not the tail. I am above only and not beneath. He wishes above all things that my soul prosper and that I would be in good health. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Pslams 139: 23-24
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for our marriage. You have called us out, You have given us a new life. You have given us a new purpose, mission, and message. You have called us to be a part of Your Kingdom. We are called to be different and to stand out in this generation. Lord Jesus, we pray that we would stand out and not blend in with this dying & wicked world. We know that all we have to do to stand out is to follow Your word and to become more like Your Son, Jesus. Use us to encourage and love each other and to lift each other up! Remove our fears, insecurities, guilt and the lies that we have fallen for. Holy Spirit, we give You access to the deepest parts of our hearts and ask that You refine us and lead & guide us according to Your will & not ours. Fill all of us with all of You! Here we are Lord.

Marriage Community
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.
Hebrews 10:24-25
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for today. Jesus, You have blessed us so much! I pray that You will bless us with people/friendships who love us so much that they are willing to tell us when we need to work on our character or repent of sin. Thank you for using us to speak into lives of other people as well. This is how You intended your church to operate. That we would all encourage and exhort each other daily. That we would lift each other up & on to good works. You love when Your people live and walk in communion! We know You desire for us all to have relationships around us that are willing to walk with us and do life with us. When we are in a community with other believers we grow the most. God, bring friends into our lives that will pray for us and encourage us but also challenge us. Build a community of Bible believing Christ followers around us. In Jesus mighty & holy name I pray all of these things, amen.
