How ironic is it that as I sit here, and I am writing my article for the month of March that I find out that March just so happens to be the month of the World day of Prayer? My heart was sold on writing about Prayer in our marriages; the Lord sure has a sense of humor sometimes when he reveals things to me and gives me direction for what I am to write for that month.
This month I felt it so heavy that I needed to write on the power of prayer in our marriages because the enemy is seeking out marriages and wants to destroy them! Instead of us celebrating being one in our marriages, he would love to make you see that being single and apart is so much better. If you've been dealing with challenging issues in your marriage for a while, it may seem like your relationship will never change. But don't let your frustration get the best of you. While you and your spouse's own efforts to change may fail, God will change your marriage if you pray. Prayer has the power to accomplish what nothing else can. I am not saying I see prayer as a magic pill, and it’s certainly not a demand, but when we yield our hearts to the Lord in prayer, when we are open and vulnerable, He begins to change us. And when we begin to change — whether it’s our attitudes, our actions, or our outlooks — our circumstances also begin to change. Ask yourself? When was the last time that you took your spouse's hand and you guys prayed together? Prayed for protection over your home, your children, your jobs and if it has been a while, I would start today because your marriage needs covering! I know every morning before my husband goes to work he comes in and kneels by the bed and prays for our unborn son and our home and I believe it is something that sets my day in motion and puts angels in charge over me and it is so reassuring to know that my partner loves me enough to stop his day to care for my spiritual needs and well-being. It is time we need to put prayer back in our homes. Why? It is simple, Because marriage matters!
