00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Father, I lift up my child's future spouse to you.

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.320
Even now, before they have met, I ask that you shape their heart and character.

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.440
May they be growing in wisdom, kindness, and faith.

4
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:19.600
Protect them from relationships that would bring harm or headache, and prepare them for

5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.800
a marriage rooted in love and trust.

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.040
When the time is right, let their relationship be one that reflects your love, full of grace,

7
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:31.680
patience, and understanding.

8
00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:37.120
Teach my child how to love selflessly, how to communicate with honesty, and how to build

9
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.920
a strong foundation for the future.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.800
Give them the courage to wait for your best, not settling for less than what you have planned.

11
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:51.840
As a parent, help me model a marriage of respect and faithfulness so they see a glimpse of

12
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.720
what a Christ-centered marriage looks like.

13
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.640
In Jesus' name, Amen.
