The Wedding Prayer

Create in us a love, O Lord.
An eternal love …
Your love.

A love
that forgives any failure,
spans any distance,
withstands any tempest.

Create in us a love, O Lord.
A new love.
A fresh love.

A love ...

with the tenderness of a lamb,
the grandeur of a mountain,
the strength of a lion.

And make us one.
Intimately one.

As you made a hundred colors into one sunset,
A thousand cedars into one forest,
and countless stars into one galaxy …
make our two hearts as one,

Father, forever …
that you may be praised,

Father, forever.

:heart2:

This prayer is from Max Lacado's book entitled: "Shaped by God".


I'm sorry that I don't have a link that takes you directly to the prayer. This came in my email today and I knew that I knew that I knew, that God wanted me to share this with each of you... :yep:

You who are married. You who are married to be. You who desire to be... happily married. Yes... :yep: You, too.

No need to wonder, to doubt, nor to even imagine. Just knowing that you will have a marriage not only given by God, yet also, 'Shaped by God'.

There are no defects in God's design. No malfunctions that He cannot nor will not mend. He is the One who will put things back together ... again... and again, and again.

Shaped by God... those who are His ... God Forever... God Forever...

God Forever.

In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen

Shaped by God... You are. :heart2:

You KNOW I love this!!!

:love3:

Hey Love... :kiss: It's straight up yours and hubby's Ministry. :yep:

It blows me away... totally. "Father.... "Forever"

Sis, it's just something about those two words. So much Love and Power is within them. "Father..... Forever"

Sis... it's saying loud and clear that it's God Forever who has not only ordained, not only created, but has 'Shaped' marriage the way that it should be and will ALWAYS be.... "Shaped by Him".


Father..... Forever.... I love these words. And the Holy Spirit has them laced within my heart. And you know how much I love 'Lace'. :lol:


Father.... Forever. To you and my brother, Pastor 'A' and your powerful Ministry which has been 'Shaped by God'.

Father... Forever. Praise God Forever. :love5:
 
Shimmie,

Good stuff from Lucado :yep: I believe having God as a part of the union and inviting Him to the wedding, is the best way to go.
