As we neared the end of July, Bruce and I remarked about
the little bit of sadness we were feeling now that the prayer series was coming
to a close. The prayers have been such a blessing, and we found joy in
"mounting" them, and composing short messages in
preparation for sharing on our Facebook page.
The prayers and accompanying Bible texts were compiled
from sources online dedicated to continual prayers for husband and wives.
And in October of 2012, we presented 31 Days of Prayer for Your Wife. Our contribution
to this love-inspired prayer ministry was the posters we selected.
I can testify of the powerful difference prayer can
make in marriage - for your spouse! Bruce and I have been in prayer concerning
a matter - praying together and separately, petitioning to the Lord for His
guidance and clear direction. One day, while we were sharing our thoughts
concerning God's will on this issue - we discovered that we both had prayed for
God to grant this request, for the sake of our spouse! Hallelujah!
We discovered how beautiful it was to be so lovingly
concerned about each other, that we would ask God to show Himself strong as a
way to honor and increase the faith of the other. Just in those few moments as
we let it all marinate - we were assured that the Lord was already at work;
beginning with the miracle of what couples can learn about their relationship
with Him and one another, through fervent, unselfish prayer!
Be encouraged, beloved - let the Lord cover your house as you join together in prayer!
