I don’t know about you, but when I go to bridal showers I always find myself at a loss for what to pray for the bride. Shouldn’t I be praying for her happiness? You bet. But sometimes when we are impatient or scared that something bad is going to happen, we tend to forget our faith. This is a great bridal shower prayer and will lead you in praying prayers of hope and even helps you remember that God’s purpose is good.
Wedding dates are scheduled and guests are booking their flights. It’s more than likely that you won’t be spending the wedding day with your bride to be but you can still provide a very special form of support to her and her fiancé. The couple has asked if you would do her a special favor at the wedding by leading a special prayer during the ceremony. This can be so nerve wracking because it’s new territory for you. You need to make sure that prayer is perfect and the pastor doesn’t mess up what you’re saying on his little tablet thingy.
