Pray for One Another

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church – a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything He does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor – since they’re already “one” in marriage.” Ephesians 5v25-28 (MSG).

One thing husbands and wives can do is to pray for each other and with one another. This is one thing that Jesus does for the Church. For instance, Jesus prayed for Peter before he was to be sifted by the devil (Luke 22v31), and also for the disciples and those who will believe afterwards (John 17v6-26). Even now, He continues to pray for us, hallelujah. Hebrews 7v25 (NIV) says “Therefore He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.” Boaz in speaking to Ruth when they first met, ended with a word of prayer, saying “May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Ruth 2v12 (NIV). Husbands, are your words and actions bringing out the best in your wife? Are you committed to having her fulfill her God given purpose? There is much power in husband and wife standing together in prayer.

“Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.” Matthew 18v19-20 (AMP)

Father, we thank You for the power of prayer. We pray for the grace to pray about everything, and for our spouses and marriages in Jesus name, amen.
