Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to give advice but how
hard it is to take it? Everything is
clear when it affects someone else, but looking in the mirror and looking at
one’s own life is much more difficult. Do we believe all the hope we give to
others who are struggling in their marriages or are we more prone to all the
counter-advice so prevalent in all media sources? “Do what makes YOU happy.” When one hears
something repetitively from multiple sources, they tend to believe it. Just what sources are reliable though?
While you may often believe what you hear in the media, do
you believe what the Lord promises in Scripture?
Fear not, for I am with you. Isaiah 43:5
Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must
separate. Mark 10:9
Let your life be free from love of money but be content with
what you have, for he has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5
Love never fails. 1
Corinthians 13:8
I am the way and the truth and the life. John 14:6
The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But
there are some of you who do not believe.
John 6:63-64
But do you believe? What
if you are struggling, perhaps in your marriage? Do you still believe? Just what is the
truth?
If we accept human testimony, the testimony of
God is surely greater. 1 John 5:9
Lord, you tell us do
not be afraid, I am with you. Help us
when we feel abandoned in our struggles and grant us a peace that signals your
presence. Free us from loving “things” more than we love You. May we not be caught up in the culture of
“more”, until that time it shifts to a culture of craving “more” of You. Come, be our strength throughout all stages
of marriage, through all its difficulties, and through all its joys. Jesus, we trust in You!
“I do believe, help
my unbelief!” Mark 9:24
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
His word is spirit and life!
Pass it on.
