Prayer for a healthy relationship
(a prayer for peace and understanding when a relationship has hit hard times)
Dear Father,
You have always been at the centre of our relationship, for it is built on the foundation of your love and grace. We find ourselves struggling daily to get along, we are under pressure and we see conflict and disillusionment between us.
Please Lord, help us to come to you moment by moment, day by day, and surrender all our difficulties to you. Fill us with your wisdom and understanding as we sift through the many strains and disagreements we face. Come strengthen us by your Spirit as we lean on your mighty power. May we always find new grace, forgiveness and understanding for one another.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus, our beautiful Saviour and friend.
Amen.
May Our Love Be Built on You
(a prayer poem for strengthening a relationship)
May our love be built on you, may our roots go deep and wide.
May we soak in heavens love and the joy of heavens light.
May each stone we place together be the foundation of our unity,
And the dreams of our future be like windows into eternity.
May we always lean on you, hour by hour and day to day,
'Till every part of us reveals the beauty you have made.
May we be a safe warm space, a shelter for the poor,
And if we get to cosy keep on knocking at the door.
May the fire burn bright and true within our lives each day,
And if the darkness closes in keep our love flame safe we pray.
May we always lean on you, hour by hour and day to day,
'Till every part of us reveals the beauty you have made.
