Pray for Marriages (Faith in the Midst of the Storm)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

When marital storms are brewing, it is exceedingly hard to trust God. Yet He tests our faith, not to mention our patience.

"Did you really mean your vows to your beloved when you spoke them in my presence?" He seems to ask.

"Save us, Lord; we are perishing!" our hearts cry out.  Matthew 8:25

"Be still and know that I am God," we hear Him reply.  Psalm 46:10

We pray over and over, "God for us is a refuge and strength, a helper close at hand in times of distress."  Psalm 46:2

He replies, "By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies.  Isaiah 30:15

Let us pray for all married couples to be given the graces necessary to be still and quiet, to be patient and calm, and for an increase in faith, hope, and love.  

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Prayer can calm the soul. Pass it on!
