Prayer Gracious God, We give you thanks and praise for all your gifts of goodness and grace. We praise you for your gift of love, uniting our families, blessing our lives, enfolding us all our days. Especially we thank you for the love which dwells and grows in the hearts of Joscelin and Craig and for the happiness and trust that has led them here. As they seek now in marriage to confirm that happiness and deepen that trust, may your spirit of love sanctify their joy and enrich their love. Love envies no one, is never boastful, never conceited, never rude, love is never selfish, never quick to take offence.
Love keeps no score of wrongs, takes no pleasure in the sins of others, but delights in the truth.
Love will never come to an end. And this is my prayer, that your love may grow ever richer in knowledge and insight of every kind, enabling you to learn by experience what things really matter. Then on the day of Christ, you will be flawless and without blame, yielding the full harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Dwell in my love.
