to God anguish family Jesus wedding Holy SpiritWedding planning looks like it’s all fun and excitement, but when you actually begin preparing you may quickly realize how stressful the process can be. For many brides and grooms, the wedding preparation process can be a trial to overcome. It doesn’t have to be something so stressful though that it ultimately makes the wedding unenjoyable. With a little help from friends, family, and most importantly, God, you will be able to have a wedding that was more than you ever imagined. Here is a prayer to help you stay focused on the most important part of your wedding, celebrating love and the Lord.
If you are feeling overwhelmed about your wedding, don’t fret. You are not alone. God is going to be with you from engagement through the wedding and through your marriage. It will be a beautiful ceremony that glorifies God and the love you share with your soon-to-be spouse.
One wedding invitation you might be forgetting to send out is the most important one - an invitation for Jesus Christ! During the wedding planning process, we forget to ask God to be there in attendance.
This prayer from Mark and Jill Herringshaw is a great place to start.
Prayer:
Father, as we prepare for this wedding, we ask that You would be our most honored guest. When Jesus attended His friends’ wedding in Cana, He demonstrated both His power and His attention to detail by supplying what was lacking.
Father, please see to it that any details we might be neglecting or any unforeseen challenges or issues be covered by Your mighty power and great care. We rejoice in this celebration to come.
We pray for protection over each traveler. And we pray for loving interactions between each of us, even when we feel the stresses that undoubtedly come with an event like this. More than anything, we ask for the Holy Spirit’s presence!
Marriage was Your idea, Lord, and a beautiful wedding is a wonderful way to begin a brilliant marriage. Amen.

To God, the being above all, nothing is impossible. Everything is possible with him. Whatever difficulties you find yourself in, trust in him, have faith. Pray to him and he will answer you.
Prayers addressed directly to God do not go through any intermediary. He receives them as they are. Some people prefer this type of prayer where they speak, in their hearts, directly to God.
God is present everywhere. Within us and without us. Even when we think we are alone, he is there. He sees us, he listens to us. He knows us better than we know ourselves.
Like a good father with his children, he is compassionate, merciful and always ready to forgive us our failings and sins.
Let us entrust ourselves to him, ask him for the grace to be a reflection of his love for mankind. Let us entrust ourselves to him and be attentive to the different signs and messages that he sends us every day, within us or outside us through our fellow human beings.

Jesus Christ is a central figure in Christianity. He is regarded as the incarnation of God.
The historical existence of Jesus is attested by archaeological research and by the accounts of Roman historians (Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius).
At about the age of thirty, Jesus left Nazareth and began an itinerant public life. He calls his disciples and walks with them through Judea and Galilee. He teaches, he heals the sick, casts out demons, walks on water, forgives sins, raises the dead. He is attentive to children. He shares meals, a wedding party, pilgrimages to Jerusalem. He lives as a Jewish believer, goes to the synagogue, observes the Sabbath. He weeps, gets angry, experiences sadness, fatigue and thirst, compassion and even anguish. Jesus is known for his natural authority.
With all the miracles he performed, Jesus is the one to whom prayers should be addressed no matter what difficulties one faces.

The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is the third person of the Trinity. His action is in perfect unity with the Father (GOD) and the Son (Jesus Christ). When we are in a state where we deserve to receive Him, He enlightens us, guides us, protects us from all dangers (spiritual and physical).
In the Bible, several symbols are used to designate the Holy Spirit: breath that makes you breathe; wind that pushes you out; oil that gives strength to athletes; fire that warms and purifies; dove that descends from heaven.
We can pray to the Holy Spirit to implore his gifts which are :
