Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Say to the fearful of heart: Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God.
Isaiah 35:4
A spark of love, a heart aflame,
True love we found, and were never the same!
Engagement quickly led to vows
with little discussion as to how
we’d deal with all the unplanned stress
of money, kids, and all the mess
that life can throw without compunction
unmasking all the marital dysfunction.
As we began our second guessing,
Life became oh so depressing!
But because we knelt before the Lord
and prayed for grace to be outpoured,
the journey never led to defeat
but rather a life that’s been complete.
For crosses often make us stumble,
and help us see we haven’t been humble.
We cry to You for mercy and love,
Which quickly comes from heaven above.
Never to hold but to be shared,
Within our marriage to show we care.
While life’s a boat that’s never steady
the Lord asks us to be at the ready
to answer him when he comes and asks
did you complete all the assigned tasks?
To love and nurture, uplift and praise
the spouse I gave you for all of your days?
And if we pause and contemplate,
finding true love is more than fate.
For He our Savior wants all of our heart
That we may never be apart.
So keep in prayer it is the leaven,
That prepares your soul for Love in heaven!

In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 6-7
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Keep praying and pass it on!
