Greetings Prayer Warriors,
In a marriage, couples can become hyper-focused on their differences versus all that they hold in common. It’s an easy snare set by Satan, as he reminds us of all that we should be annoyed about. But prayer is your weapon! Rejoice and give thanks to God (and affirmation to your spouse) for your marital unity and it will serve to minimize the polarities.
Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Romans 12:9-10
Again, [amen,] I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20
Pray together and ask for the graces your marriage needs. Christ heals, fortifies, and blesses, and delights in your prayers!
Perhaps you’re thinking, “But I don’t have a praying spouse, or one who will pray with me.” The Lord will still hear your prayers of petition on behalf of your marriage, but don’t forget the praise and thanksgiving too!
And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours. 1 John 5:14-15
And for those with still waning hope…
Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Romans 12:11-12
May you rest in knowing that others are praying for you and imploring God for your enduring perseverance! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Jesus, we trust in you enough to pass this on to another!
