Day Sixty-Five

I am starting to forget what I've prayed for and might be duplicating prayers! I should have kept better track. But I figure that it's okay to pray for things twice and to let the Holy Spirit guide my thoughts. Today I am going to pray for couples who have been through major marital issues and have reconciled or are reconciling. I praise God for working his redemption in these hearts and for his faithfulness in pursuing his children in the midst of ugliness. I pray that their hearts will be steadfastly focused on Jesus and not on sin, that they will continute to forgive each day and revel in their own state of justification before the Lord. I pray that their love for each other will grow deeper and deeper and that their understanding of love and marriage will evolve into a deep, biblical understanding. I pray protection for their marriage and protection against temptation. I pray for people to love them and speak into their lives. I pray that they will come to a point in their maturation where they will be able to reach out to others. I pray for an overwhelming joy in knowing that their redemption is from God and that God is working out his salvation in all our hearts.
