Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Most of you know the story of Saul, who became Paul, and is
now St. Paul. He went from vicious
murderer and persecutor of Christ’s followers to a staunch defender of Christianity.
Like Paul, have you ever felt you were absolutely right about something, only
to realize later that you were instead, very wrong? As humans, we can be so intent on being
right, that we never stop to seek the truth!
In marriage, how often does a spouse refuse to change
behavior because they believe they are right and refuse to hear the other side? Stubbornness is a frequent source of conflict
in many relationships. Paul’s conversion of heart and ultimate triumph came
through grace; unearned grace in
abundance! What a beautiful testament to the mercy of God. Let us pray for an outpouring of such grace
too!
Lord God, look with
kindness upon marriages, especially those in most conflict. Open our hearts with the light of your grace
and remove all stubbornness and pride. Help us to put all of our faith in you,
the only Truth. Help us each to be
docile to your will, to love as you love, and to be merciful as you are
merciful.
I delight to do your will, my God; your law is in my inner
being!” LORD, may you not withhold your compassion from me; May your mercy and your
faithfulness continually protect me. Psalm 40:9, 12
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Grace can change anyone!
Pray for grace-filled marriages! Pass
it on!
