We know from today’s Scripture passages that the enemy of our souls is a “thief” that seeks to “steal, kill and destroy” and “devour,” while Jesus came to give life abundantly. The devil would love for your marriage to fail. He would love to tear apart what God has joined together.
The world around us, often including even close friends and family, will not do much to encourage us to keep working on our marriage when it gets really hard. In addition, there is so much temptation from within to be selfish, and to focus on getting - and keeping - our own way.
Our marriages need God’s protection and help! The good news is that He wants to help. He has overcome the world, and is enthroned in eternal dominion right now. He is for you and for your marriage. His desire is that nothing will separate what He has joined together in your marriage (Matthew 19:6).
Humble yourself before the Lord, and admit where your marriage is vulnerable. Acknowledge that while we do have a real enemy, God has the victory. Ephesians 6:11 tells us that by putting on the full armor of God, we are able to withstand the enemy’s schemes. Resist the temptation to believe marriage is too hard, not worth it, or too far gone.
Prayer: God, we acknowledge that you are at work at all times. We are also aware that there is an enemy at work in this world. We confess that by our selfishness and sin nature, sometimes we aid his destructive work. Please forgive us our sin and help us to follow you wholeheartedly. We ask you to protect and bless us, our marriage and our family. Amen.
