Pray for Marriages (Building Hope)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Much is said about love in the bible and there is no doubt about Christ’s command to love one another. It is a promise we make in marriage. The power of hope, however, is something we often overlook.  For to hope, we need to be fortified in the virtues of perseverance, humility, courage and patience.
  • For all who hope they will find a virtuous and holy spouse, we pray for you.
  • For all who hope that their marriage will depart from the valley of suffering and once again return to the mountaintop, we pray for you.
  • For all those on the precipice of divorce and battling despair, may your hope of a heavenly intervention be answered.  Know that we pray for you the most.
Hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Romans 5:5

Lord, guide us in the virtuous life.  May our arrogance and self-righteous pride give way to humility.  May our anger over a particular situation give way to a growth in patience. May our trust in your grace give us the perseverance that leads to victory won by you.  We are forever your children.  May your mercy and love set us free. Amen.

The LORD is my portion, I tell myself, therefore I will hope in him. Lamentations 3:24

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
