Father, You said it is not good that man be alone, and in Your love, You created a help meet just for him.
You ordained the first marriage in the Garden of Eden.

You ordained the first marriage in the Garden of Eden.
And You said it was good! LORD, we who love you and marriage have found ourselves tasting of the beauty in marriage and we agree with You: it is good.
But he who we have covenanted to love forever is not yet in Your Kingdom- we are together but still lonely... our spirits long for soul intimacy with our husband.
What we know is good could be much better! We ask that You bring our husbands into Your Kingdom. A threefold cord isn't easily broken.
Please grant us our hearts' desire LORD, for being equally yoked is in Your Will..We pray for strength,
Patience and love to endure this lonely path known only to a Christian wife Who wants a truly godly marriage.
Patience and love to endure this lonely path known only to a Christian wife Who wants a truly godly marriage.
In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife? 1 Corinthians 7:16
AMEN!
ReplyDeleteAmen, amen.
ReplyDeleteAnd amen from me to. I pray for this often. It use to make me angry that the Lord didn't quickly convert my husband, then I realised that I had it all wrong. I was to behave in the most Christian way and show my husband what a Christian wife looked like and the Lord would do the rest. I am still waiting and praying, but no longer angry.
ReplyDelete{{Joluise}} I understand precisely what you mean... I too have felt despair bordering on anger.. it really is a test for us, a learning curve in patience, sacrificial love and Christ-like living under pressure. And even then, we have no guarantee that our men will come to know Christ...sigh. Praying and waiting with you and any others wives feeling this unique loneliness. Blessings!
