Pray for Marriages (Praise and Blessings)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

It is so easy to focus on the negative.  However, grumbling, complaining, and wallowing in self-pity only leads one to spiral downward.  What can then uplift you?  Praise!  Yes, praise to our God Almighty!  As we are tested by trials, let us not despair but rather let us praise Him.  Praise lifts us out of ourselves and places our focus on Him who shows us how to live a life of love, generosity, and gratitude.  Let us praise Him, for He never abandons us in our need.

“Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our ancestors, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;

And blessed is your holy and glorious name, praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.

Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

Blessed are you who look into the depths from your throne upon the cherubim, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven, praiseworthy and glorious forever.

Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

You heavens, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

All you waters above the heavens, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

All you powers, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.

Sun and moon, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.

Stars of heaven, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.

Spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.

Holy and humble of heart, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.

Give thanks to the Lord, who is good, whose mercy endures forever.

Bless the God of gods, all you who fear the Lord; praise and give thanks, for his mercy endures forever.” 

Daniel 3:52-63, 86-87, 89-90

Lord, we praise you and we thank you for your abundant blessings on marriages.  We implore you in your generosity, to continue to pour out untold graces on all marriages, especially those marriages most in need.

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Praise Him, always.  Pass it on!
