1. Gratitude Prayer for Years Together

Faithful Father, we lift our hearts in thanks for every year You’ve held us together. Through joys and storms, You’ve been our Anchor, our Jehovah Jireh, our Sustainer.

Lord of Covenant, bless our love to endure and overflow. Let our hearts beat in harmony with Yours, for “love comes from God” (1 John 4:7).

We call on Jehovah El Olam, the Everlasting God, to sustain our union. “Let all you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14)—this is our decree, in Jesus’ Name.

3. Renewal of Vows Prayer

O Lord, the Covenant Keeper, today we renew our vows before You. As Boaz honored Ruth, so we reaffirm our sacred promises. Let our ‘yes’ be yes in heaven’s hearing. Rekindle our passion, reset our devotion, and reestablish Your Word as our foundation. “What God has joined together, let no man separate” (Mark 10:9). We speak life into our love, honor into our vows, and eternity into our union. We bind ourselves again, before Your altar, clothed in mercy and truth. “Two are better than one…for they have a good return for their labor” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). Lord, seal this vow afresh.

4. Prayer for Strength in Marriage

Mighty God, our Rock and Refuge, we lean on Your strength. When we are weak, you are strong (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Strengthen our resolve to love unconditionally, to forgive often, and to press forward in unity. We declare resilience, endurance, and divine empowerment. Our love will not break, for it is held by El Shaddai, the Almighty One. In your power, we prevail.

Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, we cry out for restoration. Where wounds linger, pour Your oil of gladness. Where words have wounded, let Your truth rebuild. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3). Heal our communication, revive our tenderness, and release forgiveness into every crevice. Let every hidden hurt dissolve under the shadow of the cross.

Father, fashion us into gentle warriors of love, clothed in peace.

Lord, let us grow gracefully together.
