Lord, loving Father, why do You delight in me? At times I feel arrogant accepting it. Other times, I reject the notion because I know how unlovable I can be. But in my spirit, I know there is truth and peace in receiving Your esteem for me because my identity is rooted in You. You are responsible for any goodness in me, and I want to praise You and Your work by magnifying You with my life and my being. Refine my self-image to Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, You are the One Who gathers. You are the Prince of Peace. I know that one day all will be restored. Until then, will You gather the generations together for times of peace in which they would know You better? Use my wedding for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
