Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Do you remember your wedding? Most likely it was filled with family
friends, laughter, and joy, and seemed like a slice of heaven. You fantasized about your future life together
and all that would transpire. Adam and
Eve must have felt the same way---they were married, living in paradise, and
with plenty of time to get to “know” each other. They were living the
dream! However Satan hates unity. He despises happiness. So his method of operation and strategic plan
never changes: divide and conquer!
It is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the
garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, or else you will
die.’ ” But the snake said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! Genesis
3:3-4
Satan, the prince of lies, promised the attainment of knowledge
and power outside of God, which created conflict between Adam and Eve. Their promise of security as well as ours
rests with God, but power and pleasure so often seem more enticing. When Adam and Eve were caught in their sin,
the blame game of transferring accountability began. Sound familiar?
It’s little wonder Christ’s first miracle was at a
wedding. Satan was ready to create
discord, even at the reception. Christ’s
miracle delayed their first argument at least until the honeymoon!
Lord, help us in our
marriage to trust you more completely.
Where there is division, create unity.
Where there is discord, bring peace.
When we blame others, hold us accountable. When we hold grudges, show us the healing
power of forgiveness. May we freely
place our marriage under your guidance and protection, so that we may attain
peace, joy, and love in our relationship.
Prevent us from cutting our ties with you and chasing vainglory, riches,
and passionate pleasures.
I will lead the blind on a way they do not know; by paths
they do not know I will guide them. I will turn darkness into light before them,
and make crooked ways straight. Isaiah 42:16
St. Michael the
Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into
hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the
world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
