Pray for Marriages (Jesus, You Take Over)

 Greetings Prayer Warriors, 

 

Sometimes in marriage, a couple hits a dead end.  They just feel stuck and see no way out, no way of righting the wrongs. While this is a real feeling and quite painful, it can feel unresolvable and thus only escapable when the couple relies too much on themselves to figure things out, and not enough on God.  

 

We must abandon our will, for God’s. It begins with a simple prayer, “Jesus, you take over”.  When you see no resolution, humble yourself before the Lord and pray, “Jesus, you take over”. When you don’t know what to do, pray “Jesus, you take over”.  When you are wavering between fight and flight, pray “Jesus, you take over”.  When your tongue wants to act as a sword to slay versus pray, fall to your knees and beg “Jesus, you take over”.

 

“Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the LORD to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”

 

There is wisdom in realizing we can do nothing without Jesus. Humility and abandonment will bring your peace.  And our collective prayers for marriage will be the wave that takes you back to the safety of shore.

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
