In the September 2011 issue of Christian Chronicle the Editor Emeritus wrote in his Opinion article Praying for marriage in America that he is praying for marriage as an institution in the life of the United States. He also mentioned he is praying for marriage as a meaningful, godly union where people develop rich, full lives blended by the Holy Spirit. Sounds nice but what does it mean?
What specifically does "pray for marriage" mean? What specifically won't God already be doing, if he was going to do anything, or want to do without such a prayer? Until we get specific and have Bible support for our prayers we are no different than the Pharisee thumping his chest and thanking God he was not like the sinner. Most prayers are a waste of time and breath.
