Pray for Marriages (Prayers of the Heart)

Greetings Prayer Warriors, 


Anyone who reads this is probably someone who cares for others, prays often, and tries to be a friend to all. Regardless, you are a beloved child of God.  


This week is a time to pray for your intentions for your marriage. Perhaps you have a great marriage and want to spend your time in praise and thanksgiving to God. Maybe your marriage is hot and cold, deeply influenced by the stressors in your life. Or perhaps some of you have marriages on the precipice, hanging by a thread. Still others may dream about an “exit plan”. And some of you aren’t married, but are still a warrior for marriage. Only you know what you truly desire for your marriage (or another’s), rather than what is needed to make it right. God knows what is needed, and it starts with your dependence on Him.


Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6


Spend this week praying to God from the heart. Ask him to soften your heart, fill you with hope, and to show you the way. Trust in his goodness. 


Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: “Here I am!”  Isaiah 58:9


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet


Keep the faith and keep praying! Pass it on!
