Higher Purpose

May you lean on your beloved's strength
and God's promises
when the day-to-day realities
of work, bills and stress
sometimes cloud your vision
or what your life together should be.
Know that your purpose
is not to completely undeerstand
all events as they happen
but rather to replace fear and doubt
with faith and love
always trusting God for the best
for both of you

A very good poem for wedding wishes. However, check your spelling in your eighth line: take one "e" out of your word "undeerstand". Everything else looks fine.
