A morning prayer is a wonderful way to focus your time and attention on seeking God’s plan for the day ahead. Whether you need encouragement, peace, strength, or rest, Seek God’s presence each morning before your energy and attention are pulled by all the tasks you have ahead. Here are 11 powerful morning prayers for couples.
1. Prayer for Bestowed Happiness on Us
Compassionate Father, much like David prayed for happiness from You in Psalms, grant us happiness today, Father. We kneel before You this morning, Father, humbled by Your power, begging for Your graceful heart to bless our union. Father, it is our will, our desire, and our yearning to please You. Our life Is nothing without You, Father. We come before You together this morning to ask for You to make this day a happy one, full of smiles and laughter. We thank You for Your unending love for us. Father, hear our prayer, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
2. Prayer for Our Friendship
Name above All Names, hear our prayer this morning as we come before You as a couple in love. Hear our plea as we reach out to You, needing Your divine help to strengthen our relationship. Life is so busy and there is so much to do. We try to work as a team to get everything done, but we end up going in different directions and barely finding time to come back together. Come into our hearts, Lord Jesus, and plant the spirit of friendship for each other within us. Help us to reach out to each other during our busy days to check on each other. Help us to find small ways to show each other that we care. Keep each other ever-present in our minds and show each other friendship which is reflective of our love. Amen.
3. Prayer for Our Struggles
Jesus, the Great Physician, this morning we pray to you about our struggles with each other. We knew there would be roads that were unlike the roads we have traveled before. We knew that decisions and choices would have to be made in life, dear Jesus, but these trying times are weighing so heavily upon us. We are tired of the problems and struggles. We are worn down by the big issues. Please, Jesus, continue to guide us, relieve our tension, and calm our thoughts. Help us get through this, Jesus. Amen.
4. Prayer for Good Health
O God, our Strength, this morning we come together as a couple to ask that You watch over us during the day and protect our health. Just as You promised the outcasts of Jerusalem that You would restore them to health, please, Lord God, keep our immune systems strong and give us the willpower to make healthy decisions about what we eat and drink. We will live out this day in Your holy name, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
5. Prayer for God’s Light Within Us
Light in the Darkness, as the sun comes up this morning, channel its radiance into our souls and fill us up with You. Calm our racing minds and crush our self-doubt. Inspire us with the confidence we need for the day ahead. Instill kindness in us, so that we may be kind to each other and others even though we face the stresses of the day. We rejoice, dear Lord, that we can have complete confidence in You. Amen.
6. Prayer for Understanding Between Us
Lord, our Peace-Bringer, we thank You this morning for bringing us together. Continue to allow our bond to be stronger than ever. Let our love grow together in love as today passes. Allow for us to be mindful of each other, compassionate and caring. When we disagree, let it be in loving understanding of the other. Enable us to be calm and mature in our discussions with each other. Continue to walk with us as we walk with each other. You are a great and loving Lord. We pray this in Jesus’ holy name, Amen.
7. Prayer for Fertility
O Lord, our Healer, we come before You this morning to pray for fertility. As we start today, we pray that we have the seed and the healthy womb to bear children and carry on our family line. We live our life for You, Lord, and we hope to bring a child into this world to glorify Your name. We are faithful believers, Lord, and we know that You have a plan for our lives. If it be Your will, Lord, please give us Your gift of children. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
8. Prayer for the Earth
God of the Universe, in the beginning, You created the heavens and the earth. You said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. You blessed us with this beautiful morning. You bless us with a new day every day. Whether it’s raining or sunny, we praise Your holy name and thank You. You bless the crops with raindrops. You scorch the earth with fire and allow for the rebirth of plant life. You give us the wind and water. Thank You for Your gifts to us. Send Your Holy Spirit to live within our souls. Fill us with Your love and have Your way in us today. You are our all-powerful Father. You are the Name above all Names. You are the almighty and everlasting God. We are so small and are humbled by Your greatness. Amen.
9. Prayer for Love Between Us
Jesus, our Savior, You say that where two or more gather in Your name, You are there with them. Jesus, we are gathered in Your holy name this morning and ask You to be with us as we pray that we go about our day with love in our hearts for each other. Jesus, we pray that we put You at the center of our relationship and that while we love each other very much, we pray that we love You more. Jesus, You made us. You brought us together. Let our matrimony be a bond like no other human bond, and let us live our lives together with the love and affection You gave to us. In Jesus’ holy name, Amen.
10. Prayer for Our Work Day
Righteous Savior, we praise You this morning that we both are employed. Please be with us in our decision-making while we are at work so that we perform well. Be present in our thoughts so that our words are kind. Fill us with energy to accomplish our tasks, and the focus to do them correctly. Let us feel the Holy Spirit indwelt within our hearts so that we radiate that joy to everyone we see. Bring us home safely to each other. Amen.
