I admit to being caught up in deep selfishness and self-pity. It's an ongoing thing me, one I know God can help me overcome. A conversation I had recently showed mw just how deep in this I've been.
I recently had a conversation with a friend who admited that they and their spouse were struggling, and that admitting such was difficult. No details were given (which I appreciated), and I didn't press. As I prayed for my friend, the spouse, and their marriage, I began thinking of other friends who are married (and being 34, that's quite a few!). So, here is my prayer for marriages:
Father, I thank you for the blessing of friendship, for the many people you have placed in my life. I thank you for the examples of Christian leadership, friendship, and marriage they all are to so many around them. Forgive me, Lord, for ever thinking that I have more important issues than they do. Bless each marriage, Lord. Speak to husbands and wives Your truth for their marriages. Show each one Your plan and purpose. Grant them wisdom and understanding to overcome difficulties. Strengthen them by the power of your Holy Spirit. Mold them into the husbands and wives you want them to be. In Jesus mighty name, amen.
Singles, watch for an upcoming post for you!!
