STRENGTHEN­ED PRAYERS

As required by every child Lord, I bring my beloved to ask for Your blessing. He or she has been faithful, caring, and patient—so, I stand before You today, basking in Your glow as I ask that he/she be the one for me. I want a peaceful and joy-filled marriage that’ll be inseparabl­e. Love shall be shared between us and there will be calm always.

Father, prosperity in the areas of procreatio­n, financial stability, and spiritual awareness shall complement our love. I thank You for Your daily attention to my needs, Amen

I thank You for granting me the resolve to stand before You today in acceptance of my faults and wrongs. I know I have treated him/her badly and the pain I’m feeling is due to my levity on the part of his/her feelings.

Please, God, I pray for an opportunit­y from You to apologize for my wrongdoing­s. He or she is the other half of me—the one that makes me whole. Father, I believe he or she is my completion and I pray that he returns to me. With open hands, I’ll welcome him/ her into my warm embrace. Thank You once again for another miracle, Amen.
