Pray for Marriages (The Illusion of Control)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

The busier and crazier our lives, the more we try to control things.  The more we try to control things, the more we realize our powerlessness.  Yet we continually delude ourselves into thinking that if only we keep trying, we will regain control of our lives.   It is time to let go and let God; let go and let God.  He will do the work, if only we cooperate with Him by surrendering our will.
 
Today let’s pray for the wedded weary.  Those who are tired, frustrated, lonely, angry, over-burdened, and/or losing hope.  They may be a couple that struggles to find unity or conversely, are experimenting with a trial separation.  Perhaps they are a couple who feels uncoupled, when one spouse’s employment physically separates them for long periods.  Perhaps they have family member with medical issues which puts a strain on their relationship.  Whatever it be, may our prayers for each of them drift to the heavens like incense, seeking a renewal of their body, mind, and heart.  May they be sustained by grace so that their spirits may once again soar.
 
He gives power to the faint, abundant strength to the weak.  They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.  Isaiah 40: 29,31
 
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
 
Take a rest.  Let the Lord do the heavy lifting.  Pass it on!
