PRAYERS FOR GRACE
 A prayer in the middle of your service may be an appropriate follow-up to
any poetry or scripture that is read. It also provides a quiet moment
before the BIG question and the vows. However, in weddings that need to be
shortened. the prayer portion can be omitted.
PRAYERS FOR GRACE
O God, the Author and Giver of all good things, we bless you for the gifts of love and friendship and for the joys which gladden our lives. May your blessing rest upon and remain with {Name 2} and {Name 1} as they pledge their mutual love. Bless this day, and lead us always in your ways of love and peace. Amen.
O God, we pray for {Name 2} and {Name 1} who want to begin their life together with you and always continue it with you. Help them never to hurt and never to grieve one another. Help them to share all their work, all their hopes, all their dreams all their successes and all their failures, all their sorrows and all their joys. Help them to have no secrets from one another, so that they may truly be one. Keep them always true to one another, and grant that the years ahead may draw them ever closer to one another. Grant that nothing may ever make them drift apart. And as they live with one another, help them to live with you, so that their love which they are to pledge now may grow perfect in your love, for you are the God whose name is love. This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen
