PRAY FOR MARRIAGES
Genevieve shares a testimony about the power of praying for marriages.
I have had an amazing reminder of the power of prayer. I was praying for three marriages and recently had this exchange with one spouse:
Me: [A couple of months after I told him I would pray for him and his wife…] “I’m still praying for your marriage every day.”
Husband: “I think it might be working. She wants to work on rebuilding our relationship.”
Me: [After a couple more months] “I’m still praying nearly every day for your marriage.”
Husband: “It is working. She is looking at moving back home in the New Year. “
Me: [After a couple more months] “I’m still praying for you.”
Husband: “My wife has moved back home . . . things are much better . . . t looks like a small bump in the road now.”
Then a few months later the couple in the second marriage I was praying for renewed their vows. I felt like singing for joy!
God still listens to prayers. He is still the great Healer. He is still the Restorer. We can still cast our cares on Him because He cares for us! Do you know someone who is struggling? Pray for them. You might not even need to say anything. I hardly did in either case above except to say, “I’m praying.”
