A Prayer for a Wedding
Over two people becoming one, a prayer that their marriage be founded on Christ and filled with love, patience, and joy.
Father, thank You for bringing these two together.
Bind their hearts in a love that is patient, kind, and faithful.
Give them grace for the hard days and laughter for the good ones.
Build their home on You, that it may stand.
What You have joined, let nothing tear apart. Amen.
“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Mark 10:9
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for a wedding built on?
It rests on Mark 10:9. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for a wedding?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Jesus, our Shepherd, nothing about A Wedding is hidden from you. We bring you wedding, marriage, a new baby. Let your Body in that place love one another and be one. In the name of Jesus, amen.
Live this
Three small things you can do this week.
- Pray the lines above once today, out loud if you can, and read Mark 10:9 in your own Bible.
- Tell one trusted person that you are praying about wedding, and ask them to pray with you.
- Write down one thing you notice this week, so that you can thank God by name when it comes.
Where this fits in the walk with Christ
Nothing here is a finish line. It is one door into a life with Christ and with His people.
