Pray for Marriages (Inheritance)

Greeting Prayer Warriors,

How do you define wealth? What type of inheritance are you working toward?

When I think of wealth, I think of material goods; those that bring comfort, ease of life, and assurance of mind.   That type of wealth allows one to pass down an inheritance to those left behind.  Yet, how often do we consider the riches of spiritual wealth?  Are we seeking to grow in the virtues?  What impact would our growth in faith hope, charity, patience, kindness diligence, humility, and  fortitude, have on our marriage?  Add to it a life rich in prayer.  Could such virtue be without effect? As a result, what type of spiritual inheritance do you think would be passed to your spouse and down through the generations? Which type of wealth would serve them throughout eternity? 

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. If these are yours and increase in abundance, they will keep you from being idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8

Lord, may our path to holiness be one of mutual encounter, for one is forever touched by another’s kindness, love, fortitude, and understanding.  May we mirror your holiness so that others, especially our spouses, may come to know what true wealth is.

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

Be rich in what matters to God. Pass it on!
