Pray for Marriages (Loving as we Ought)

 Independence Day, USA


Greetings Prayer Warriors,


We who are in the United States of America are richly blessed because our Constitution grants us freedoms other countries do not have.  Thus, we need to be a beacon of hope for others.


For you were called for freedom, brothers.  But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love.  

Galatians 5:13


With this God-given freedom, we are not obliged to do what we want, but what we ought.


You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14-16


As married couples, we need to witness the love of Christ. We do this by being hopeful, joyful, and loving, even during the times the relationship may be challenged. 


For it is the will of God that by doing good you may silence the ignorance of foolish people. Be free, yet without using freedom as a pretext for evil, but as slaves of God. 1 Peter 2:15-16


Let’s continue to pray for the fortification of each other's marriages, as well as those couples we hold in our hearts!


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet


Nurture faith, hope and love. Pass it on!
