Greetings Prayer Warriors,
With age we tend to realize how much we utterly depend on God. When we are young, we delude ourselves into thinking we are in total control of our life. We dream big and make even bigger plans. While some of our plans may materialize, eventually we hit a roadblock. With maturity one comes to see that they are not really the captain of their life, but rather nothing more than a sputtering engine that needs a heavenly pilot. So, if you have a marriage that is sputtering, let Jesus take the wheel and lead you to calmer waters. Let Him nourish you with his Body and Blood, which will make you hunger for Him all the more. And in hunger, you will pray more, for He alone will be your strength.
Come to me, all who desire me, and be filled with my fruits. You will remember me as sweeter than honey, better to have than the honeycomb. Those who eat of me will hunger still, those who drink of me will thirst for more. Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame, and those who serve me will never go astray.” Sirach 24:19-22
Obeying the Lord is a big step in humility, which conquers pride. When we humble ourselves, our relationships have a chance to heal.
The fear of the LORD is training for wisdom, and humility goes before honors. Proverbs 15:33
Never lose hope. Our collective prayers are like incense rising to the heavens on one another behalf. Keep praying for marriages!
For in hope we were saved. Romans 8:24
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Hope does not disappoint! Pass it on!
