Pray for Marriages (Encouragement Overflowing)

 Greetings Prayer Warriors,


In so many aspects of our lives, we compare ourselves to others. Marriage is one of them. How easy it is to look at another relationship and assume it’s perfect! How the couple looks adoringly at each other, the loving words they express, the fabulous vacations they take together, etc. etc. The notion of perfection is amplified all the more now that social media exists, where one can create a persona of a dream life.  (No one posts their worst selves!) 


Yet, whatever challenges you or your loved ones face in marriage, from small disappointments to extreme dysfunctions, from the affliction of sorrow to the pain of past missteps, the Lord always places people in your life to uplift you. (Hint, hint)


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement, who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God. For as Christ’s sufferings overflow to us, so through Christ does our encouragement also overflow.  2 Corinthians 1:3-5


Prayer Warriors and those they pray for never suffer alone. Your many spiritual friends unknown are praying on your behalf, that you may have the strength to endure and the love to persevere. Suffering offered to God is a beautiful incense that rises to heaven. Prayer is the fuel to help you fulfill the will of God. We’ve got you! 


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet


Pray, pray, and then pray some more. Someone desperately needs it! Pass it on!
