Fight for Us: Win Back the Marriage God Intends for YouSample

Isolation is an enemy tactic. He wants you to withdraw from loved ones and friends. He wants you to avoid spending time with God and studying his Word. He wants you to isolate yourself, because that’s how he keeps you stuck on the X.

The enemy also wants you to avoid getting help from other resources God has blessed you with, namely doctors, counselors, and other care professionals. These caregivers often play a significant role in God’s healing work. . . .

Our future hope isn’t found in isolation; it is found in fellowship and abiding in Christ. God’s future for us may not look like what we have in mind, but it will certainly be better than anything we could have imagined on our own. God will use what we have been through for his glory, for our good, and for others to find healing.

Resolve that you will not waver in the face of adversity in your marriage, that you will fight for each other. When you take up your armor and prepare for battle, remember why you are fighting. Your relentless pursuit of a thriving, bulletproof marriage must be tested. Otherwise, what is its worth? With God’s help, your marriage will stand the test of time. Whenever you choose to fight for each other, victory is guaranteed.

That doesn’t mean the battle will be easy. The enemy spares no effort when it comes to robbing us of joy, peace, and health in marriage. Marriages and families are his primary targets, and he will use all his assets to take us down. But we have assets of our own. God did not put us here empty-handed. We have the tools we need. We only have to call on him and seek his power and presence to overcome whatever X the enemy sets in our path.

Together, you can be victorious. But you’re going to have to fight for it. Resolve today in your marriage, with each other and with God, that you will fight side by side as one unit until the mission is complete. Look at each other and declare: “I will fight for us, forever.”

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I know I will have rough times in my marriage. Please be with me during those difficulties, and help me fight for my marriage so that my spouse and I can glorify you. Amen.
