Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Knowing my passion for the strengthening and building up of
marriage and family, a friend recently let me know about a national call for
weekly prayer and fasting that just began this past Friday for the protection
of life, marriage, and religious
liberty and continues on until November 23, the feast of Christ the King. For more on this, visit Pray
and Fast.
This got me thinking.
: ) Since we’ve already been praying for Marriages on Mondays
and Families on Fridays, would you consider occasionally fasting for
marriage and family too? Fasting can be
a beautiful prayer of sacrifice and penance, as we unite ourselves to Christ’s
redemptive work. Pray about ways you can fast as you pray today
for marriages.
I turned to the Lord God, to seek help, in prayer and
petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed,
“Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your covenant and show mercy
toward those who love you and keep your commandments and your precepts! Daniel 9:3-4
Kind and Loving Father, hear our petitions for struggling marriages, for we know you make all things new again! With compassion, act upon the prayers of your children and weave together marriages that are broken and torn, for we love your handiwork! All praise and glory be Yours!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Nothing is impossible for God. Pass it on!
