Dear Father God,

I pray that as two people come together to join in holy marriage, that they will keep their covenant and their commitments to each other and to You,as Jesus taught...

Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’ ? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
Matthew 19:4-6

I pray that married couples will be true to each another and to You.

I pray that husbands will love their wives 

as Christ loves the Church and gave 

Himself for her. (Ephesians 5:25)

And I pray that wives will 

love their husbands. (Titus 2:4)

May You be the center of each marriage so that each person will be blessed.

May You be honored through Christian marriages, a representation of Christ and His Bride — The Church — in our world.

And may each one of us, as Christians, 

be worthy of our Lord Jesus, as we look 

forward to the day when we will be united with Him for eternity.

With praise and love, in the beautiful name of Jesus I pray.

Amen.

The Holy Spirit: He

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in 

My name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you.
John 14:26

The Holy Spirit is a person. He is not like smoke, fog, a cloudor any other false idea that people have of Him. He is the Third Person of the Godhead. Use the pronoun "He" when you pray to Him, because He is a person. The Holy Spirit is a person who has the ability to think infinitely; therefore, He knows all about you. The Holy Spirit is a person who has the infinite capacities of emotion; therefore, He feels deeply for you. The Holy Spirit is a person with the divine power of will; therefore, He can choose to do wonderful things for you when you obey the commands of Scripture. What would you like for the Holy Spirit to do for you today? 

Holy Spirit, I realize You know all about me, so forgive my shortcomings and errors. I feel Your love for me; help me love You in return. I want You to strengthen my will to live a godly life.

The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity. He can be denied (2 Timothy 3:5), lied to (Acts 5:3), resisted (Genesis 6:3) and blasphemed (Matthew 12:31). Because He is a person, you can obey Him (Hebrews 3:7-11), desire Him (John 7:37-38) and follow Him (Galatians 5:16, 25). Call on Him today to help you glorify the Father.

Holy Spirit, I need Your help today. Come show me how to live in a more godly way. Come fill me with power to overcome temptation. Enter my life to make me holy like You, and make me spiritual like Your nature. Fill me today. Amen.
