My Prayer For "US"

Father, I pray for forgiveness and mercy on us, along with any other young couple struggling with the temptations and pressures that a relationship entails. We've never had a relationship like this before, God, and it's so hard to go against the grain of what everyone else is doing. I know what things I have promised to myself, I know what promises I've broken, and I know what I need to change. I pray that You can forgive us and have mercy on us for what we've done and what we've thought about doing. I invite You full-heartedly into our relationship again. I pray we can overcome the temptations and have a relationship that is based on what is really important. When situations start to get out of hand, I pray for a reminder of what we want of our relationship. I pray we can work together to fight through the lies and attacks from the enemy. I also pray that our own personal relationships with You can strengthen through our time together, not diminish, and we can share our feelings for each other and the love that You so graciously give, no matter what. I give You thanks and praise for always taking me back, no matter how far I stray. And just know that no matter what happens around me, I always try my best. Sometimes, I'm just deceived. I just pray blessings and happiness on our new relationship and a wonderful future, together or apart. I praise You either way, God. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
