Pray for Marriages (Patience as Prayer)

Greetings Prayer Warriors, 

 

Reflect on your day and contemplate all the time that was stolen or wasted on the mundane.  What if half that time, a quarter of that time, or even 10% of that time was spent in prayer?  It would make a difference!  

 

Bored in a shopping line, carpool line, or medical waiting room?  Pray! Want to grumble regarding all the reasons for the delay? Practice patience, share a smile, and offer it as a sacrifice to God. Now that’s prayer in action AND the practice of virtue!  

 

Better is a patient spirit than a lofty one. Do not let anger upset your spirit, for anger lodges in the bosom of a fool. Ecclesiastes 7:8-9

 

This week, take advantage of all the opportunities during the day where you want to grumble at someone or something and instead turn it into a positive by practicing patience as a prayer of petition for marriages.

 

This practice just might change you and those around you. Let us praise He who perfects us!

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

 

Practice patience as prayer! Pass it on!
