Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Have you ever been a passenger on an airplane cruising along
smoothly and then out of nowhere turbulence hits and catches you totally off
guard. A wave of panic crashes over you and suddenly you hold on and buckle
tight. You hope that the pilot will
quickly bring you to calmer heights. You’ve lost your peace and anxiously wait
to be firmly planted on the ground again.
Marriage can be a lot like flying. You plan on a smooth ride
and don’t know how to handle unexpected turbulence since it was never part of
your flight plan. Nor did you ever
consider how much baggage you were bringing into the marriage and how that
might contribute to the overall lack of balance. You are surprised that in no time, what
seemed like a first class experience now seems like a middle seat in
coach. You feel squeezed in,
uncomfortable, and irritated by a lack of interaction. You can’t seem to find
your way back to first class and you just want off of this flight in distress.
Mayday!
The question is whom did you choose to pilot your marriage?
Let us pray for marriages hit by unexpected turbulence,
which leave one or both spouses frightened, confused, and ill-prepared.
Lord, help them hear you
calling out to them, even if they hadn’t thought to call out to you first. Calm the storms in their marriage and pilot
them into the safe harbor of your
love. Teach them, heal them, and restore their love so that it may reach
heights never even imagined. Jesus, hear
our prayers!
The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. James 5:16
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Your fervent prayers are like a jet engine; they help
marriages take flight! Pass it on!
