COUPLES PRAYER JOURNAL

A note from the TGT Team

We are honored serving you during the first couples enrichment
retreat titled Two Gather Twogether. By simply attending the
enrichment program, you have accepted the challenge of GROWING
together as a couple.
We would like to share with you a prayer journal that will serve as
your daily companion in your journey. Faithfully you will write down
your prayer petitions for your spouse and for your relationship. As
you pray together, let God speak to you through the words of your
spouse expressed prayerfully. Try not to think or figure out things
on your own. Let Gods spirit flow through you. Ask for Gods
guidance and give thanks for the blessings received. Ask for
forgiveness for falling short in becoming a more loving spouse. And
in the spirit of faith and trust, believe that God will make your
tomorrow better. End with a closing prayer or with a closing song.

Yours in Christ,

TGT Working Team

A prayer for married couples

Father of life and love,
you created us in your image- woman and man.
We rejoice and than you for the gift of each other.
Sustain us in our love
and lead us to a deeper understanding of your love.
Jesus, we come before you,
seeking your guidance and direction
in our relationship.
In marriage you call and challenge us
to a permanent, exclusive and sacred friendship.
Be our strength and support, therefore,
as we continue this journey together.
Holy Spirit, help us to strive towards a lasting,
honest commitment united in love.
Give us your strength to carry each other
in times of darkness,
your joy in times of happiness,
and your gift of awe in the uniqueness
and sacredness of each other.
May our love be a reflection and
a sign of your love in the world.
Amen
