Pray for Marriages (Keeping the Peace)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Has it ever happened to you where you are having a great day and then bam, a word, a situation, a phone call, or something else sets you off and your peace is totally disturbed? You then become annoyed and testy, longing for the “you” of just 5 minutes prior.  Satan has found a crack.

The devil is the destroyer of peace; peace in your heart, peace in your marriage, peace in your life.  He just lies in wait for the perfect timing to attack, knowing exactly which buttons usually put you in a tailspin.

How do we preserve your peace?  By staying close to Christ in prayer. How do we restore our peace?  Prayer.  How do we make sure that we don’t inadvertently become Satan’s instrument to disturb someone else’s peace, such as our spouse’s? Prayer.

The Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the Evil One.  2 Thessalonians 3:3

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. John 14.27

Father, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.  Jesus, strengthen us with your armor.  Holy Spirit, bring us your peace.  Guard us and guide us, so that we may remain in your peace and transfer it to others, especially our spouse. Bring peace to all marriages, so that it spreads like wildfire through the family and then throughout the whole world.  Keep the fires of our love burning!

“In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” John 16:33

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Restore the peace, then  pass it on!
