Dream in our hearts - An engagement prayer








Lord, I’m—we’re—so excited! It all seemed to happen like a whirlwind. The proposal—the yes!—and now we’re engaged!

Thank you so much, Lord, for each other, for us, for the way you’ve made us, for the way you brought us together, for our future lives together—as one.

Lord, as we dream dreams for the future may we learn together and grow in our respect and love for each other.

In all our excitement about our love may we draw closer to each other and even closer to you, too. May we not forget you, heavenly Father, the giver of life and love.

We commit to you our future, Lord. Guide us as we plan the wedding and as we share our thoughts and hopes—and our fears—with each other.

Thank you for our excitement, Lord God. In Christ’s name, we pray.
                                                                                               Amen.

When the dream in our hearts is one that God has planted there, a strange happiness flows into us. At that moment all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us. Our praying is then at one with the will of God and becomes a channel for the Creator’s always joyous, triumphant purposes for us and our world. -  Catherine Wood Marshall
