Prayer For Marriages!

I woke up this morning with PRAISES on my lips and this prayer came forth:

I BELIEVE GOD FOR HAPPY AND JOYFUL CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES ALL OVER THE WORLD NO MATTER WHAT THE STATS OF THE WORLD SAY. FATHER I PRAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO REBUKE SELF AND RESIST TEMPTATIONS ON A DAILY BASIS! THAT WE LOVE THE HARDEST WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH! I PRAY THAT WE FORGET ABOUT OUR WANTS AND NEEDS AND FOCUS ON THOSE OF OUR SPOUSE. REMIND US OH GOD, THAT IF BOTH PERSONS ARE ACTIVE IN THIS ENDEAVOR THAT NO NEED WILL GO UNMET, AND THERE CAN BE SMILES ALL AROUND. HEAVENLY FATHER I PRAY THAT WHENEVER OUR SPOUSE IS CONSUMED BY ANY SPIRIT OF NEGATIVITY, THAT WE DON’T RESPOND THE SAME. INSTEAD WE SEEK YOUR FACE FOR GUIDANCE IN THE SITUATION; IN DOING SO WE KNOW IT WILL WORK OUT FOR OUR GOOD. MY GOD, OH MY GOD I PRAY WE LOVE OUR SPOUSE UNCONDITIONALLY, AND LIKE THEM AS WELL. NO MATTER HOW MAD WE GET, IF THEY GET ON OUR NERVES, OR GET SLACK ON THEIR SPOUSAL DUTIES. IF WE LACK IN ABILITY TO LOVE, MINISTER TO, SPOIL, SPEAK TO, TEND TO, OR PRAY FOR OUR SPOUSE IN ANY WAY TEACH US HOW. IN YOUR AWESOME SON JESUS NAME, AMEN.

*I REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF ‘THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE’ (SO THEY SAY)!*

*Green grass can mean 1 of 3 things:
1) More to mow (more work)
2) It’s Astroturf (its fake)
3) It’s growing over a “septic tank” (its full of mess)

Don’t believe if you leave your spouse, you are going to find something better. Pray and work wit whatcha already got! (I know its not correct English)
