Greetings Prayer Warriors,
There may be some of you who have hit a real roadblock in your marriage, or perhaps you know of a couple (or two) who feel they are at a dead end. Irreconcilable differences seems to be the legal term for it, but spiritually speaking, there is no such term. Is there anything the Lord can’t reconcile?
“Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.” 1 Samuel 3:9
Perhaps you think it would take some unfathomable changes for any such marriage to be successful. But what if all the Lord is calling couples to (or the prayer warriors who act on their behalf) is more humility and trust in their prayers for change?
Consider Naaman’s response when he initially refused the prophet Elisha’s cure for healing as too simplistic.*
“I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand there to call on the name of the LORD his God, and would move his hand over the place, and thus cure the leprous spot.” 2 Kings 5:11
Do we too sometimes expect extraordinary measures when all the Lord asks us is to “Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Contemplate the level of your own faith in truly believing in the omnipotence of God. Resolve to spend more time in prayer for your marriage, another’s marriage, or perhaps for that couple you don’t know who is really in need of prayer. Believe that the Lord will answer your prayers.
Lord, hear our humble prayers for marriage. We pray that in all things, your Will be done! Help us to trust and to live peacefully in your Holy Will!
Peace, Love, and Joy,
Janet
Pump up the volume of prayer. Pass it on!
* “Go wash seven times in the Jordan and your flesh will heal, and you will be clean.”
1 Kings 5:10
