Pray for Marriage and Family (Call in the Reinforcements!)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,


May the Lord’s blessings of peace be upon you!  


Life can feel like a whirlwind, and other times like a tornado, a hurricane, or an earthquake. Or maybe other times  it’s just like a hamster wheel, but regardless, each one of us tries to recover, continuing to move forward.  


Of late, my life has been a little chaotic and I am aware that I occasionally forget to send out my prayer reminders, however, I trust that the Lord continues to nudge you in those circumstances. 


We are never alone in our challenges, be there marriage, family, or commitments. In fact, we have all the saints in heaven praying for us and cheering us on, especially when we fall.


Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. Hebrews 12:1-2


Whatever stresses you, whatever ails you, whatever keeps you awake at night, call on the saints to both intercede for you and join you in as you pray to the Lord for your needs and desires.  The saints who know the struggles of an earthly life, are all too willing to take your prayers and petitions to God on your behalf.  While we can tire of prayer, they do not. While we aspire to see the face of God, they behold it daily.  Humble yourself and call in some reinforcements from the heavenly realm to elevate your prayers as well as all those who pray on your behalf here on earth.  


Lord, guide us as we walk the path of life you have set before each of us. Invigorate us when we lose our energy to persevere. Forgive us when we veer toward the unholy and in your mercy, release us from the burden of sin.  Help us endure the rocky paths, slippery slopes, and crevasses that cause us to stumble and fall. Send your heavenly aid, so we may find the road to sainthood and lead our spouses and family there too. Jesus, we trust in you!


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
