TOPIC: OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS III MEMORISE : And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Luke 6:12 READ : Matthew 26:37-41 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. MESSAGE This statement ‘A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian’ is not a direct quote from the Bible, but I have found it to be very accurate. If you don’t make prayer...

TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR MARRIAGES

MEMORISE: 
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:          Romans 15:5

READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

PRAYERS 
1. Father, thank You for the gift of the institution of marriage. Thank You Lord for the gift of companionship.

2. Father, I thank You specially for all the marriages of Your children in my church, community and across the world.

3. Father, please let Your joy fill my marriage and all the marriages around me, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, by your mercy, please replenish whatever is lacking in my marriage, in Jesus' name. Just as Jesus replenished the wine at the wedding of Cana; let every good thing that has gone dry in my marriage be replenished, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, please let Your wisdom abound over me, my spouse (or would-be spouse) and in all the homes around me, in Jesus' name.

6. Father, please bless all Your children's marriages with godly children who will grow up to serve You, in Jesus' name.

7. Father, please let Your peace which passes all understanding reign in every marriage that is experiencing a storm, in Jesus' name.

8. Father, let all Your children that are of marriageable age receive marital breakthroughs, in Jesus' name. Please help them make the right choices according to Your will for their lives, in Jesus' name.

9. Father, please uproot every plant you have not planted in my home and in all the homes around me, in Jesus' name.

10. Father, never let the will of the enemy prevail over my marriage. Whatever plans the enemy has concerning my marriage, let them fail, in Jesus' name.

11 Lord, please never allow my spouse and I to do anything that will offend You. Please, Lord, lead us and guide us in all that we do, in Jesus' name.

12.Your personal prayer points for your marriage and other marriages and homes around you.

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
that calls me from a world of care, 
and bids me at my Father's throne 
make all my wants and wishes known. 
In seasons of distress and grief, 
my soul has often found relief, 
and oft escaped the tempter's snare 
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
the joys I feel, the bliss I share 
of those whose anxious spirits burn 
with strong desires for thy return! 
With such I hasten to the place 
where God my Savior shows his face, 
and gladly take my station there, 
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
thy wings shall my petition bear 
to him whose truth and faithfulness 
engage the waiting soul to bless. 
And since he bids me seek his face, 
believe his word, and trust his grace, 
I'll cast on him my every care, 
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
