Greetings Prayer Warriors,
What a gift role models are in our lives. I am most inspired by those couples that have
surfed the waves of marriage and have learned that large waves although scary
and difficult to ride, will eventually bring you back to the sandy shores. Exhilaration and newly found
confidence comes from conquering them!
This week I would like to pray for those couples who have
been married for decades, that they continue to inspire us by their steadfastness
and teach us about love, faithfulness, and trust in God’s plan.
Caught off
guard, the waves they rose,
I wanted to run
free, but then I froze.
Is my faith
like Peter, who soon would sink?
To ride a wave,
I’d be crushed in a blink!
But Jesus assured
me as He reached out his hand,
Stay close to
me and you’ll always find land. –JFL
More powerful than the roar of many waters, more powerful
than the breakers of the sea, powerful in the heavens is the LORD. Psalm 93:4
He hushed the storm to silence; the waves of the sea were
stilled. They rejoiced that the sea grew calm, that God
brought them to the harbor they longed for. Let them thank the LORD for his
mercy. Psalm 107:29-31
Lord, thank you for
the witness of all those couples who show us the fruit of faithfulness in
marriage. Protect and bless their
unions, for even their silent witness strikes awe in us. May we each be blessed to have at least one
couple like this in our lives. If they happen
to be our parents or grandparents, then we are twice blessed! Lord, calm the storms in our marriages, and
until then, teach us to surf! Increase
our faith and trust in You!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Encourage a married couple overwhelmed by the crashing
waves. Pass it on!
