Pray for Marriages (Divine Transformation)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Do you ever wonder why God reincarnated the Word in human form as Jesus Christ? Sometimes I entertain myself thinking about how God must have made the decision that we needed a Savior. “Whoa! They sure are mucking things up down there! I better send them an instruction manual in HUMAN FORM! Most of them don’t even know how to read, so a teacher they will get! They will know He is there to teach them, because everyone knows that all teachers take a vow of poverty!" ;-)

All joking aside, what must the Magi have experienced when they first encountered the baby Jesus?  Seeing Jesus in his humanity informed their minds.  Pride must have given way to humility as they witnessed His humble surroundings.  When they beheld the Christ child so pure and radiant, their hearts must have been transformed and His divinity adored.

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth. 
John 1:14

Thus in marriage, for a transformation to take place, you need to place yourself in the presence of Jesus.  Be quiet, be still, and speak to Him. You are the gift He asks for.  Give yourself to Him and you too will be transformed.  You too will experience the Divine.   By opening your heart and mind to Him, the river of grace will flow. Thus the transformation of your heart and mind begins.

Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2

Lord, may each couple and each spouse start this year with a small step; a gift of self that brings their heart closer to You.  Inform their minds and transform their hearts so that their love for each other may grow into divine love.  May this love inspire other couples to also invite You in through prayer.   Jesus, you are our eternal hope.  Save us! Amen.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
