Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Everyday can be a different struggle as we attempt to harness our selfish ambitions, our desire to be esteemed, and our need for worldly success, (aka $$$). Or perhaps your challenge is the opposite in that you lack ambition/direction, you wallow in self-loathing, and struggle with your finances. Neither is a healthy version of oneself to bring into a marriage or to become once married, as It will only sow discord.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice. James 3:16
Yet, we often end up at a place in marriage where we never planned nor dreamed we’d be. The hardest transition to make in life is from me to we. Yet, at the one time we should be looking inward at ourselves, we prefer to look at all the ways our spouse should change.
Let us pray for an expanded capacity to embrace and love the “we”.
Lord help us to find the balance of loving ourselves enough to love another, rather than indulging our every desire at the expense of the other. Let us aspire not to earthly wealth, but rather heavenly riches. May we not dwell in spiritual sloth, rather may we find our true direction by actively seeking you. Grant us wisdom, love, and peace.
“What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,”1 Corinthians 2:9
Lord, help us love you more, for the wealth of our love springs forth from You!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Pray for an increase in love. Pass it on!
