Greetings Prayer Warriors,
While I took a week off from blogging, I hope that you didn’t take a week off of praying!
Praying takes commitment. Praying for marriages takes desire! It seems easy enough, but without a routine, it easily gets delayed, pushed aside, or forgotten. We must ask ourselves, when we miss our prayer time, what is truly filling that space? Of our time stealers, can any of it be considered useless baggage?
Next, what is taking time away from investing in your marital relationship? Material baggage? Emotional baggage? Frivolous activities? Ask the Lord to help you see what needs to be tossed aside, because it may be less obvious than you think. Maybe it’s your lack of faith, your frustration in prayer, that makes you gravitate towards the “useless baggage”?
How long, O LORD, must I cry for help and you do not listen? Habakkuk 1:2
The Lord’s timing is never ours. We pray for one another’s marriages because everyone hits a dry spell every now and then. We pray that all persevere in prayer and become more virtuous spouses.
I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone. 1 Timothy 2:1
Lord, abundantly bless this group who has been praying for such a beautifully long time. We praise you for the many fruits received as a result of our collective prayers, yet still petition you for an avalanche of graces, especially in those marriages most in need. Strengthen us for the journey, that our commitment may not waver in prayer or in marriage! Help each of us to become a beacon of hope for others, as we lift our voices to you in endless thanksgiving.
May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones. Ephesians 1:18
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Your prayers delight the Lord! Pass it on! https://simplyinspiredprayer.blogspot.com/
