Pray for M.O.M. (Marriage is an art!)

Good Morning Prayer Warriors,

Let us prime ourselves for another day of prayer for marriages.

Marriage isn’t just a covenant, it’s an art! Melding with another person, who is more often than not the exact opposite of you, is exhilarating at first and even magical when you are blending like pastels, creating a beautiful Monet. But what if your marriage looks more like a Picasso?

Keep in mind that He is the potter and we are the clay! The Lord appreciates and loves all of his compositions. It is up to us to find the beauty in them! For by succumbing to His will, we allow Him to mold us into His perfect creation. And through faith and hope and trust in Him, he can transform any marriage into a masterpiece.

"...like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand" (Jer 18:6)

Let us pray for all marriages, especially those that don’t look or feel like masterpieces. And for those who have exquisite marriages, may they have the courage to step out as powerful witnesses to encourage others in love, as to what is possible through the Lord.

"I waited, waited for the LORD; who bent down and heard my cry,
Drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp, Set my feet upon rock, steadied my steps, and put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in awe and they shall trust in the LORD." Ps 40:1-4


Peace, Love, and Joy,
Janet
