Save Your Marriage

Pray, pray, pray - for your family and your marriage first of all, and those in your immediate family.

Set aside time with God to pray.  Be intimate with God in your heart.  Be open with Him about everything, your feelings, your thoughts, your difficulties, but also spend time thinking about the blessings that God brings to your life and your family even in the midst of the worst possible times and how He enables you to come through it victoriously. We don’t always come through victorously, but we can if we will let God carry us through.

Pray as though your family depends on it.  Pray for breakthrough, that things won’t stay as they are, that marriages would be blessed and stop being destroyed.  Pray for churches, for pastors to become wise and competent and godly concerning faithfulness in marriage and will stop explaining away God’s desires and stop pandering to the unfaithful and will have the courage, love, and integrity to say what needs to be said to keep people from perishing into hell and unfaithfulness and sin.  Pray, pray, pray, and don’t let up until the prayer is clearly answered, and then pray again to give thanks!!!

But, don’t let up.  When you pray with your family to give thanks for meals, give at least a little prayer for families and marriage and for your church.  Don’t ramble and keep everyone’s necks crimped downward for an excessively long time, and don’t put them to sleep waiting half starved and unfocused to take their first bite of their meal, but at least touch on the issue with God in prayer and set an example for your family.

Pray for families and marriage and faithfulness.  Don’t use prayer to condemn others, but don’t spare, and don’t be afraid to make someone in adultery squirm or fear or worry or be offended because that may be needed to save their soul from sin and turn them back to Christ once again.  Because if the adulterous don’t change, for sure they will perish into hell regardless of how religious they and others may feel they are.

Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.  When will you do that?  When will you start?  How often will you do this?  Can you do it now?  Can you start now?

Thank you so much!
