Pray for Marriages (A Pearl of Great Price)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

Some of you reading this may really be struggling in your marriage.  You are experiencing an indescribable emotional pain that feels unique to your situation. You pray and you pray.

 

I am weary with crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, from looking for my God. Psalms 69:4

 

You await a response, but your personal marital storm rages on!

 

Know that He who allows the storms to thunder, has the power to stop them. “Quiet! Be still!” Mark 4:39

 

However, even if He allows the storm to linger beyond your comfort, He calmly reassures you, "Be still and know that I am God!" Psalms 46:10

 

In this life, our love is tested, repeatedly.  Not just for our spouse, but for our God.  Will we stay true to our wedding vows and our promises to God?  Do we have enough faith to believe the Lord will sustain us?

 

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 1:6-7

 

Lord, together we pray for abundant grace to flow down upon marriages. May it penetrate the heart and mind of each spouse. In each trial, help each to release their pride so that the radiance of humility may shine. May each seek forgiveness and offer it in return. May they see that the pressures and strains they endured, produced in each of them a pearl of great price.  

 

For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.  Revelation 7:17

 

Jesus, we trust in You!

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
