Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Marriage as a vocation is a journey the Lord sends us on as a path to perfection. Any married person can attest that it is not an easy road and is a continual purification! The Lord knows that we will have missteps, occasionally veer off course, take detours, get lost, and eventually come to terms with our strengths and weaknesses. Most of all, He hopes that we become humble enough to call out to Him for assistance.
But pride and destructive self-talk enters in to block humility. We think we can singularly handle all that comes our way. Sometimes we self-sabotage and become too harsh with ourselves, our spouse, or both. Other times we can’t admit our faults but point out all of our spouse’s. We worry about our lives without realizing our biggest enemy is fear and a lack of faith.
.
Say to the fearful of heart: Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; With divine recompense he comes to save you. Isaiah 35:4
Lord, increase our faith in you. Guide us, redirect us, and heal our woundedness. Ever merciful Father, You love us beyond our comprehension, and yet how often we doubt your support! We entertain fear when we should confidently proclaim your compassion and steadfastness. Infuse us with unshakeable faith, so that we can confidently withstand any storm, while humbling acknowledging your gift of grace.
When he saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”
Luke 5:20
Humility trusts in the mercy of the Father. Be of humble heart and put on love, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Pray for a growth in faith. Pass it on!
