Closing Prayer — Can You Still Stand at Attention

Usually, I give you a single line to help guide your prayer for those who may not feel comfortable praying. But today, I am so moved, I am going to say the entire prayer. Feel free to pray your own, or simply reflect on these words.

Father, I come to you begging your forgiveness for my failures in my relationships. I ask that you continue to let me crucify myself and live totally through you. May your wisdom, grace, and mercy flow through me to her or whoever you have in my future as a fountain. May I be able to crucify my own selfish desires and put the other person’s first. Father, give us wisdom and grace and mercy. Give us in-depth wisdom and understanding and comprehension that can only come through your Holy Spirit. Protect everyone that is reading this book, Lord. Guide them, draw them closer together. Defeat Satan and his strongholds that tear marriages apart. Implement the procedures necessary to survive. Father, help us understand that no perfection exists and every marriage can grow stronger. In your Son’s name I praise you. Amen.
