Celebrating 5 Months!

Friends, for those of you who started with me way back in late February of this year, do you realize we've been praying for over 5 months now? This is the longest I've stuck with consistent prayer for my husband and having this accountability has really helped me not to "get weary in well doing." I hope the same has been true for you.


My latest conviction has been that I wasn't praising God in advance for an answer to my prayer. So, today (whether you're praying for a change in your marriage or for your future husband or whatever is on your heart) would you join me in praising God for the way His glory will shine in our love story? Praise Him for His faithfulness and goodness in fulfilling your heart's desires. I know, this might be the hardest thing I've asked you to do so far in this journey. At least, it's been the hardest for me. The first time I attempted this, I could hardly get the words out with all the doubts and "What ifs" bombarding my mind. Before you pray, it might help to pray on the spiritual armor.

Ephesians 6:10-18: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.
