Week 6: Marriages and Chronic Pain

-

Please join us this week in praying for marriages that deal with chronic pain.  Couples in these marriages struggle many times to identify the situation as the burden and not the suffering spouse.  Financial pressures often assail these marriages.  Couples can find just the day-to-day grind of managing pain physically and emotionally exhausting.  And finally, chronic pain can steal a couples’ hope, and, where hope is absent, depression can rush in to take its place. 

Please pray with us that these couples

  • will have faithful prayer warriors to lift them up consistently
  • will rightly identify the situation as the burden, not the suffering spouse
  • will not be crushed by financial pressures
  • will not lose hope but rejoice in the hope they have in Christ Jesus
  • will find joy in service and freely express gratitude as they receive service

There will be a short, I hope, hiatus in my Praying for Marriages blogs. Blogger has changed quite a bit, and thus I have lost the auto-formatting I have used for years. As soon I figure out how to use this new version of Blogger, I will continue the Praying for Marriages blogs. Thank you for praying for marriages. Just because my blog is taking a break, it does not mean you must take a break. Marriages in all situations need your intercession for them.
