The Mystery that Holds our Marriages Together

(cc)
Today as I was praying for my marriage I ended up praying universally for marriages. Like a scroll in my mind, couple after couple unfolded in my minds eye as I stamped Truth's transformative words over them.


Unifier of Marriages, would you properly fix and fit together all the broken and dislocated pieces of our marriages. Would you redeem them into vibrant harmonies. We know you can do this b/c of your death and blood that was poured out for us on the cross. We remember that you have said that you go before all the things, our marriages, and YOU are the one who holds them together, not us [how ludicrous to think that we have this ultimate power!!].


We know you are on our side, alongside us, we are not alone.


I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. All the riches treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in this mystery.


(Based on Colossians 1)


So be it.
