Greetings Prayer Warriors,
When a couple marries, the hope is that they each mature and
grow in unity. Yet sometimes the scale
is unbalanced. One may mature sooner,
one may never mature, their faith journeys may diverge, politically they may
become polarized, or their parenting styles may be different. These type of things are to be expected and serve
to help us grow in the virtues of patience, kindness, temperance, and
self-control. Yet some challenges are totally off the grid, such as when a
spouse suffers from an addiction, such as drug, alcohol, or pornography. If you are in this situation, please seek
outside counseling and support. The same
holds true if you are in an abusive relationship. You do not cause the abuse. Leave to a safe
space and get help.
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge till the
storms of destruction pass by. Psalms 57:2
Let us pray that the Lord sends forth a spring of healing
graces to burst forth for marriages and that we may never lose faith in the
power of God to change the circumstances in one’s life.
“Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only
say the word and my servant will be healed. Matthew 8:8
Lord, each of us
carries wounds from our youth, be they emotional, physical, mental, or
spiritual. When these wounds fester untreated, they often lead to addictions,
violence, or even withdrawal. Lord, for
marriages to thrive, so must the individuals in them. May we seek first our own healing, so that we
are better equipped to support our spouse’s healing. Hear our collective prayers, for our desire
to see marriages thrive is aligned with your plan for marriages. Increase the
faith of those seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. For if you can raise
the dead, you certainly and heal marriages gasping to survive. Jesus, we trust in You!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Believe that God can restore even the most broken marriage. Pass
it on!
