Blending A Family 40 day DevotionalSample

Living in God’s Word and Strength

In the early years of our new blended family we struggled with so many issues. Many days we faced the same struggles over and over. It felt like we were beating the same brick walls. Our hope was failing, and we doubted a bright future for our family. 

We were doing better at serving the world than we did at serving our spouse and family. We sought the Bible because we knew from experience that God had an answer for every issue in life. 

Step by step, we found answers to the many issues we struggled with. God’s wisdom breathed life and healing into our hearts. The delay in finding unity in our tough early years was not because God was not able, but rather due to guarded, wounded hearts that take time to heal and rebuild the capacity to love and trust again.

Step by step we saw the fruit of God’s wisdom shine the light into each heart. It did not happen quickly, but it happened. We grew together through the years. Our 8th Anniversary was a breakthrough and a celebration of His amazing grace and goodness. 

God is no respecter of persons. What He does for one He will do for all who seek and follow Him. He is an amazing Good God! He loves His creation so much and so perfectly. He is faithful, and so desires to show each of us His loving heart for us. 

Our Prayer for you:

Lord God Almighty, we thank You for Your hope, mercy, grace, goodness and faithfulness to this family. Touch and make them whole by Your Strength. Sustain them through the tough times, send help in their time of need, and send Your blessings into their hearts and lives! Thank You Lord, in Jesus’ Name!
