Pray for Marriages (Equipped to Grow in Holiness)

 Greetings Prayer Warriors,


As most of you know, the longer the marriage, the more “interesting” the journey. Marriage is an absolute carnival, filled with rollercoasters, twisting and turning Tilt-a-Whirls, Jackhammers, Fun Houses, Rodeos, and Merry-Go-Rounds, just for starters! Sometimes, one has had enough of the “carnival” and is looking to be untethered and race for the exit. But that's never the Lord’s plan. The Lord will equip us with what we need. We are encouraged to be refreshed and rejuvenated by reading and resting in His Word. Time perhaps, to dust off and open that Bible?


The word of God is not chained. 2 Timothy 2:9


So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me empty, but shall do what pleases me, achieving the end for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11


For the Lord will always equip us to walk in His Holy Will. He doesn’t call the equipped, rather He equips the called.


All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16


Lord, we ask for the graces necessary to live a good and holy marriage, especially in light of the struggles you send to strengthen us, the obstacles that challenge us to persevere, and the detours that bring us wisdom. May we find continual strength in Your Word to persevere in goodness, and to honor our spouse in word and deed. Thy will be done, now and forever! Amen.


May the God of peace, [...] Jesus our Lord, furnish you with all that is good, that you may do his will. May he carry out in you what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever [and ever]. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
