Greetings Prayer Warriors,
When I was first married, I thought once we got a house,
life would be great. Once we both had
better jobs, life would be great. Once we could afford a new car, life would be
great. Once we could afford season
tickets to see our favorite sports team, life would be great. And the list went
on. It took years of marital ups and
downs to realize that “things” don’t make your life great; they only make it
more comfortable. True riches are not
found in the material.
He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a
walking stick—no food, no sack, no money in their belts. Mark 6:8
Like the disciples, those preparing for marriage and those
already married are called to a great level of trust in the Lord, who will
provide for their every need. How little we trust in Him when we think we have
to have every need met before we can be truly happy or sometimes even before we
allow ourselves to get married!
A marriage becomes great when its foundation is firmly anchored
in our Lord, the Rock. He who even the wind and sea obey can certainly calm any
storm in our lives and navigate us back to tranquil waters. Protected and guided by such unwavering Love,
we are richly blessed.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
Lord, bless everyone who reads this with the joy of knowing
how much you love them. If they are
married, may your grace give them renewed confidence in your fidelity to them
in their journey. If they are not married, bless them for their faithful
prayers for marriage and family. May our ongoing prayers be our gift of gratitude.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Lead someone to true riches.
Help them cast their anchor on the Rock.
Pass it on!
