Prayer Topic: Prep for Marriage
This is such an exciting opportunity to pray for the couple as they prepare to tie the knot! Express excitement as you ask when the big day is and care as you ask what's weighing heavy on them in this season. All the logistics and various details of planning their special day sometimes can distract them from the most important thing - focusing on devoted themselves to each other and surrendering their marriage to God. Celebrate with them and remind them how faithful God can be as we offer our lives daily to Him.
