Greetings Prayer Warriors,
The waves of disunity are ever present. The existing culture is formulated to drive apart and separate. We are constantly in front of some sort of screen, wherever we are, no matter what time of day. That is what we are in a relationship with. And if you say that you aren’t, perhaps you are driving yourself or family members here and there and back again, not engaging, but transporting to yet another activity, meeting, or event that keeps you and everyone else busy, but not necessarily engaged.
Ask yourself, during what part of the day are you engaging with your family or your spouse? I don’t mean hanging out in the same space (room, car, other) but actually engaging? I am certainly not one to point fingers, but to challenge everyone to pause and reassess. Do you carve out/make time for and with your spouse even?
Ask the Lord help you to see how you can improve in this regard.
If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others. Philippians 2: 1-4
Keep on praying for marriages! Why? Well, for one…
The LORD’s acts of mercy are not exhausted, his compassion is not spent; They are renewed each morning—great is your faithfulness!
Lamentations 3:22-23
Lord, I ask that you send special graces to all those who receive this email, especially those it is passed on to. We are weak, but renewed each day in your love, which provides us the grace to reset, try again, and do better. Strengthen, fortify, and enrich all marriages, especially those in most need. Amen.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Pray, and pass it on!
