Pray for Marriages (Extraordinary Witnesses)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Marriage begins so blissfully. Then the gift of children arrives and we are thrust into uncharted waters. This is often the beginning of humility. How the Lord always seeks to perfect us! Yet as difficult as this transition is to the stability of the previous 1+1 marriage, how much more difficult it is when the child(ren) has/have medical issues, be they physical, mental, or emotional. The relationship is tested in extraordinary ways.

Those called to the highest heights of parenting will be given special graces, yet they need our prayers, on steroids! Please join me in praying for these special marriages, as their unions are so important yet so vulnerable! Lord God, you choose special people to be the parents of extraordinarily challenged children. They are an inspiration to us all, so please reward them with an outpouring of your grace. Give them times of respite and renewal, uniting them together more fully. Bless their marriages and bless all their children. May they be forever fueled by our prayers and sustained by your unwavering love.

We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father. 
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

Thank you Lord for such powerful witnesses!

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
