Lord Jesus, we plead for Your protection – from evil, strife, bad habits and any vile attacks of Satan. Lord, we want to live glorifying Your name. Sometimes, we build up shackles which destroy instead of keeping us safe. Protect us in a very special way, Lord Jesus. Send Your angels to stand guard over us and our own. More than anything, keep us away from anything that blocks us away from loving You and loving our brethren like you want them loved, all the while using Your name for it. Amen.

Let marriages be deeply spiritual and soulful unions created by You, with Yourself as the centre. Bind all couples with cords of Your eternal, sacrificial, deep-rooted love. Amen.
