Pray for Marriages (Celebrate Differences)

Greeting Prayer Warriors,

Did you remember to pray for marriages on Monday?  It is rare when I don't send a Monday reminder out to all of you, but sometimes the Lord has other more urgent plans.  I found myself sitting in an ER for hours and hours (spoiler alert, everyone is okay). While I didn't have the time to write about marriage, I had plenty of time to contemplate it.  

Everyone knows opposites attract, but why is that? It is part of the Lord's wonderful plan.  Opposites balance out each other's strengths and weaknesses. Our gifts may vary, but together, we have everything we need.  Perhaps that's why the Lord makes husband and wife one in Holy Matrimony.  In Him and through Him, we are most blessed and complete.

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. James 5:11

Pray for your spouse or if unmarried pray for your future spouse, and then pray for all marriages, that each spouse may celebrate their differences, not argue about them.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Celebrate each other’s diversity of God-given gifts. Pass it on!
