Marriage
By Shauna Irizarry on 11/16/2010
“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:23-25
Many days our marriage can seem like a mountain in the path of life, deployments and separations can cause strife in a marriage. Frustrations can occur, as can meltdowns, bitterness, and resentment. This verse tells us we must forgive others and hold nothing against them if we expect God to forgive our own sins! It also tells us to believe in what we are praying for. If you have a failing marriage and have been praying for God to restore it, yet you don’t believe it will happen…what are your prayers worth? God tells us we must believe in order to receive.
Prayer prompt: Today focus your prayer on the military marriage, many are suffering as we face multiple deployments and the stress of PTSD. Pray for healing of marriages around the world.
