📖 SCRIPTURAL VERSES
- Genesis 2:18 – “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

SHORT MESSAGE
Marriage is God’s idea, not man’s invention. Whether single or married, relationships play a powerful role in shaping destiny, purpose, peace, and productivity. When relationships are healthy and aligned with God’s will, they become channels of blessing. But when broken or misaligned, they can become sources of pain and distraction.
For singles, today is a day to commit your future relationships and marital destiny into God’s hands by asking for divine guidance and protection from wrong connections. You need wisdom to make the right decision and necessary preparation. For the married, it is a day to seek renewal, healing, understanding, and grace for your union.
God desires marriages that reflect His love, homes that are filled with peace, and relationships that are governed by wisdom, patience, forgiveness, and purpose. As we pray today, God will heal wounds, restore love, remove confusion, and align hearts according to His will.
