Pray for Marriages (From Sorrow to Joy)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

While the Christmas season is a time of joy for most, it can be a difficult time for those who have recently lost someone: a child, a parent, or a loved one.  With a gaping hole left by their absence and a festering wound that feels like it will never heal, it is hard to be joyful. Sometimes the pain can tear a couple apart rather than bring them together. 

 

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

 

Lord, we ask you to stand in the gap.  Be the soothing balm for their wound, even if they are blaming you. Fill them with hope that they may experience joy again. Surround these couples with your angels so that Satan may not drive these couples apart. You Lord are Truth, Love, Peace, and Joy.  Fill the hearts of the dejected, the lonely, and the isolated with your presence, always an indescribable joy. We are grateful for the grace you pour out on marriages, and ask for an abundance on those struggling the most. May your peace reign upon marriages forever!

 

I will turn their mourning into joy, I will show them compassion and have them rejoice after their sorrows. Jeremiah 31:13

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
