Let’s get started and discover how prayer can make your anniversary truly unforgettable.
Why Use Anniversary Prayers?
Marriage is a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and growth. It’s easy to get caught up in the everyday busyness of life and forget to pause and celebrate the love that holds everything together. That’s where anniversary prayers come in.
In the Bible, God often called His people to mark milestones with prayer and thanksgiving—like when Samuel set up a stone and called it “Ebenezer,” saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12). Pausing to pray on your anniversary is a way to set your own “Ebenezer”—a reminder of God’s faithfulness in your relationship.
Anniversary blessings also remind us that marriage isn’t just about two people; it’s about three: husband, wife, and God at the center. Praying together invites Him into the details of your journey—renewing love, fostering forgiveness, and strengthening your spiritual bond.
Crosswalk’s anniversary prayers beautifully express how prayer invites God’s strength into every season of marriage, helping couples stay united in love and purpose. Whether it’s celebrating a brand-new relationship or a marriage that’s weathered decades of seasons, prayer makes anniversaries more than just a date on the calendar—it makes them a celebration of God’s faithfulness.
