Greetings Prayer
Warriors,
No matter how good
a marital relationship is, it is not without its crosses, for marriage itself
commands self-denial. As if that isn’t challenging enough, responsibilities
never fall into equal halves as one spouse will always carry more or less of
their fair share in any given category. But rather than complain, perhaps you should
rejoice that you are imitating Christ, for He always carries the heaviest load.
Lent is a time to draw
closer to Christ by hugging our crosses.
In walking with Him, we will
learn that He is our Rock, refuge, shield, shelter, protection, guard, support,
Light, shade, comforter, peace, help, and salvation.
If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23
Contemplate what aspect
of your marriage that you struggle with the most. Humble yourself, hug that cross, and walk
with Christ throughout Lent. Offer it as a sacrifice of praise to the Father. Plead for greater faith.
Let us join our prayer
on behalf of all marriages and may all glory and praise be to Him who blesses
us with crosses that lead us to Love.
Who in Sheol can glorify the
Most High in place of the living who offer their praise? Sirach 17:27
Peace, Joy, and
Love,
Janet
Crosses are the
bridge to eternal happiness. Pass it on!
