"Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not because of lust,
but for a noble purpose.
Call down Your mercy on me and on her,
and allow us to live together to a happy old age.”
TOBIT 8 : 7
Lord, You hold all our days in the world. Blessed are You, O God; praised be Your name forever and ever. Let the heavens and all Your creation praise You forever.
You said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make him a partner like himself.’ You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support; and from these two the human race descended. Now, Lord, You know that I take this wife of mine not because of lust, but for a noble purpose. Call down your mercy on me and on her, and allow us to live together to a happy old age.
As we journey together to a life of old age, I humbly ask for good health, protection, security, peace, and prosperity. Thank You so much for loving us unconditionally.
All these I humbly ask and pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
