Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Some of you are really struggling in your marriages. You are doing the best you can, and it takes all your spiritual strength to continue with your prayers and efforts to heal or elevate your marriage. You may feel exhausted, as you cling to your hope, persevere in faith, and trust in the goodness of the Lord. One day at a time, you tell yourself.
How the Lord honors you for giving all you have to give! You are like the poor widow who offered to the Lord the last 2 coins she had.
When he looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” Luke 21:1-4
Which begs the question, do you give an appropriate amount of your wealth of time and energy to the health of your marriage? Or do you give a little of your surplus time to your spouse?
Each must reflect on their own situation. How might the Lord view it? Lots of impoverished lip service, or an ongoing, generous labor of love? Pray to see as the Lord sees, that you may come to accept the truth. Whether you are the “widow” or the “wealthy” humbly pray for strength for the journey or guidance on how to heal and enrich your marriage through a more generous spirit. As a warrior, you never walk alone.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Continue to support each other in prayer and pass it on!
