If you feel led to pray for us and our marriage, here are a few requests that we hope will honor the Lord as we step into a new season as husband and wife:

Prayers that we would serve each other with "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23), and that our love for each other would be selfless, embodying 1 Corinth. 13:4-8.

Prayers that we would prioritize a "quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty" (1 Tim. 2:2-3) and that we would learn to be content in whatever circumstances we encounter (Phil. 4: 11-12).

Prayers that we would prioritize time in God's word and in prayer on a daily basis individually, and in our Church weekly, "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another" (Heb. 10:25).

Prayers for a smooth transition from college to working full time, and that the Lord would direct our steps with plans for where to live and jobs (Prov. 16:9).

Prayers for our church and how we can labor for Christ's sake in our community. "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord" (Rom. 12:11).

Prayers for our pre-marital counseling and preparation for marriage, and that we would seek the counsel of Godly men and women in our lives (Ps. 1:1).

Prayers of protection over all those traveling to be at our wedding, and for a stress- free planning season leading up to May 11th (Phil. 4:6).
