Pray for Marriages (The Lord Speaks!)

 Greetings Prayer Warriors,

With summer in full swing and vacations in motion, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but last week you didn’t receive any prayer reminders from me. Although I have sent emails from hospital beds and vacation destinations, this year the Lord wasn’t having it. (He obviously trusts that you will remember). Vacationing in the High Sierras at almost 9000 feet, the Lord saw to it that the cell towers were down and that there was no internet service. He even made it difficult to get within range. Sometimes the Lord doesn’t whisper! His Will be done!

I trust that most of you have made praying for marriage and family a habit. The reminders are so that none of you feel alone in your prayers. 💝

Daily prayer and reading scripture help fertilize the soil of your heart, allowing it not just to listen, but to hear.

Some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold. Luke 8:8

In marriage, the aspiration is always to hear and respond with love, in complete imitation of Christ. On our own this is impossible, but with prayer and meditation on the Word, we are able to allow the Lord to germinate the seeds of growth within us.

Yet just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, 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 55:10-11

Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth. 1 Corinthians 3:7

So keep praying, whether you receive a reminder or not.  Our prayers lift up one another, especially when the praying becomes difficult.  Immerse yourself in Scripture, and allow the Lord to guide and comfort you.  Carve out quiet time to listen to Him! 

Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand. James 5:8

God bless all of you!

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

Spread the love and blessings and pass it on!
