Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Some marriages slowly fizzle, while others speed out of
control. That’s why the Lord created
Holy Speed Bumps; to either awake you from your apathy or slow you down enough
to see that you are heading in the wrong direction! What is a Holy Speed Bump, you ask? Why it’s an event or person that makes you
stop, reassess, and seek to learn the Lord’s long-term plan for your
marriage. Speed bumps can be annoying,
uncomfortable, and something you want to avoid, but in prayer you will see that
they are a total gift of love from the Beloved, given with your eternal wellbeing
in mind. Delight in your speed bumps!
But the world will tell you otherwise, with assorted
messages assaulting your brain: “Avoid
conflict.” “Battle it out!” “Seek your own gratification.” “You deserve to be happy, don’t you?” “You can do better.”
Look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is
seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 5:18
Please pray for those marriages most in need, that when
jolted by the Holy Speed Bump, they pause, reflect, and experience the love and
mercy being offered. May they turn
towards our loving God in humble prayer, trusting in Him to guide, heal,
comfort, and restore, something that was once broken.
“Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 21:5
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Warning: Holy Speed Bump
ahead. Pass it on!
