Greeting Prayer Warriors,
When things aren’t going well in a marriage, it is so easy to allow bitterness, anger, hatred, resentment, and negativity of all kinds, fill you up. Then it just spills out of every pore of your body, rages from your mouth, affects all your emotions, and does nothing to uplift your relationship, but rather contributes to its destruction.
No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. Ephesians 4:29, 31
Perhaps all the anger is justified, but you are still called to imitate Christ, not Satan!
Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27
By seeking the Lord’s help, we can grow in humility by emptying ourselves of all that is unseemly, thereby making room for all the goodness and graces the Lord desires to fill us with. As we abandon our pride and self-righteousness, it will allow the Lord to clothe us with his virtues. We are made for so much more. We are called to be a reflection of His love within our marriage and to be a light to the world!
Live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call. Ephesians 4:1-4
We are one body, for we were made one in marriage. Pray that you may grow in your love of the one, by loving the ONE.
Keep praying for each other!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
When we love one another we love Him. Pass it on!
