All of us truly need to pray for Christian marriage to thrive right now inside a modern culture which often attempts to separate couples even in our highest priorities.
"And the two shall become one. So they are no longer two, but one" Mark 10:8 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
Despite the fact that Jesus makes this particular proclamation regarding the Christian marriage, the actual process of growing to be one tests most of our marriages. It may take us a little while before all of us feel as though we are one, but the Lord tells us our sacred union makes us one. So within God's eyes we're no longer individuals. When we pray for our other half we have to talk as though we have been praying for ourselves, due to the fact that we are.
It is important for all of us to learn that prayer is simply direct connecting with The Lord. Our personal choice of speech need not be impressive at all! There are several resources for studying the proper aspects of prayer if you are fascinated, but we must all understand that God is our Heavenly Father and most importantly He wishes to hear from His children. In our valley experiences, it may take almost everything merely to get together enough strength to cry out even the least bit and the Lord absolutely understands! The initial step to praying with and for your husband or wife is always to believe that Jesus will answer your prayer.
In the course of a Christian marriage getaway we were attending, there had been a testimony portion where a handful of couples were selected to share exactly how Jesus has blessed their marriages. One of the testimonies stood out to me mainly because my spouse and I had never heard anything like it. The woman said her husband had a destructive habit that she had been not aware of for awhile. She was a praying women and the more often she interceded she believed something was not right. She talked about how she often felt like some other person was in their bed along with them. As if her husband was fantasizing about a previous woman or something. She couldn't figure out what it was. Her husband finally admitted his problem with pornography. She was thankful that he confided in her because now she could pray much more directly. She interceded, " Lord, you stated that when my spouse and I got married we became one flesh. I know that where he is vulnerable I am able to be strong. Half of my body is troubled with a porn addiction. But the other half of my body does not have an addiction to porn. So I pray using the stronger half of my body and I demand this spirit to depart from my marriage in the name of Jesus."
We all have been called to pray with the exact same confidence and authority against the spirits which come against all of our Christian marriages! Challenge: Ask your spouse exactly what one problem, goal or area of their life you possibly can pray for. Then spend time today making that one situation your prayer focus during the day. There is no need to agree, reply or even have a conversation about it in any way. Simply make their important matter your own top concern.
