Pray for Marriages (Laying Down Your Burdens)

 Greetings Prayer Warriors,


Three day weekends are a great time to unwind, but many will utilize the weekend to keep on top of everything!  Both are good, but sometimes even though we need to relax, we can’t because there is too much to do! This can also be a stress point in marriages. 


For those who are stressed, and burdened emotionally, physically, mentally, or other, we warriors are here to lighten your burden through prayer. All you have to do is surrender your need to “control”, to the Lord.  That takes a lot of patience, because the Lord’s timing is extremely different from ours. 


“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,  and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:28-30


Lord, give us eyes to see why we are so burdened. How much of our busyness is what we have taken on unnecessarily, versus necessary? Is our activity bringing us closer to our spouse, or further? Unintentional, or by design? Is it causing anger? 


Have a personal conversation with the Lord.  Pour out your heart to Him. Ask the Lord what He is trying to show you. Ask Him to teach you how to let go and trust in Him more.


As prayer warriors, let us storm heaven in support of one another, and those couples we hold in our hearts.


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
