Pray for M.O.M. (Suffering as prayer)

Good Morning Prayer Angels,

Sometimes it’s hard to pray. We can be so miserable that no words flow to form a prayer, only tears.

Perhaps our suffering can be our prayer. Sometimes song lyrics express it best.

“We pour our miseries, God just hears a melody,
Beautiful the mess we are, the honest cries of breaking hearts,
Are better than a Hallelujah.”*

So let us offer up to God as a prayer, that which is causing us the most suffering. Then let us then ask Him to use our suffering for the purpose of healing marriages. If you know someone in particular who is struggling in their marriage, offer it up for them specifically.

Consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. Romans 8:18

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
