(Excerpt from Prayer Can Change A Marriage)
By Sharon Jaynes
Friend to Friend
I am always stunned when I hear someone say, “Well, I guess the only thing left to do is pray.” My goodness, I’ve even been shocked to hear the words come out of my own mouth. Prayer should never be seen as a last resort but as a first line of defense. No matter what condition your marriage is in today, prayer will make it better. God can make a bad marriage good and a good marriage great. God’s answers to prayer healed the sick, fed the hungry, stopped the rain, kept the earth from revolving on its axis for an hour, divided the Red Sea, poured forth water from a rock, opened wombs, confused enemies, opened jail doors, made leprous skin reform, caused the lame to dance, gave courage to the fearful, and raised the dead. Jesus said, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

Today, I’m giving you a list of Bible verses to pray for your husband, from head to toe. This is your assignment for today…for always.
<><><><><>
Lord, I pray for my husband, from head to toe:
His Head –That he will look to You as Lord of his life. (1 Corinthians 11:13)
His Mind — That he will have the mind of Christ and think as the Holy Spirit would lead him and not the flesh. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
His Eyes –That You will keep his eyes from temptation and that he will turn
his eyes from sin. (Matthew 6:13, Mark 9:47)
<><><><><>
His Ears — That he will hear Your still small voice instructing him. (1 Kings 19:12, Psalm 32:8)

I can’t give solutions to all of
life’s problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you and
together we will search for answers.
+ + +
I can’t change your past
with all it’s heartache and pain,
nor the future with it’s untold stories.
But I can be there now
when you need me to care.
+ + +
I can’t keep your
feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand
that you may grasp it
and not fall.
+ + +
Your joys, triumphs, success,
and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
+ + +
Your decisions in life are not mine
to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.
+ + +
I can’t prevent you from
falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you,
talk to you, and wait for you.
+ + +
I can’t give you boundaries
which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change,
room to grow,
room to be yourself.
+ + +
I can’t keep your heart
from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you
and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
+ + +
I can’t tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come

Today’s Hearty Meal Of Truth
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Cor 13 v. 4-8)

Who’s Your Best Friend?
Former prisoner James Knapp confessed to police that he’d robbed two stores in Oklahoma (USA), because he missed his old cell mates. Police said they’d see if James could be reunited with his buddies.
But I think Mr. Knapp might have said something worth listening to. We need friends, no matter where we find them.
And do you know who your best friend is? Automaker Henry Ford was having lunch with a man, when he suddenly asked the man that very question. “Who is your best friend?” Ford asked.
The man hesitated and Ford went on. “I’ll tell you who your best friend is,” he said. Then he wrote this sentence for the man to read: “Your best friend is he who brings out the best that is within you.” Our best friends are those who do more than simply like us. They also believe in us. They support us but, occasionally, they nudge us as well.
Someone put it well: “A friend is someone who knows you as you are, understands where you’ve been, accepts who you’ve become, and still, gently invites you to grow.
“Now…who is your best friend?

There are angels among us,
one for me and one for you.
God sent them to watch over us,
our whole lives through.
~*~
I knew that when I met you,
I saw a certain spark.
you appeared before me,
when the world seemed so dark.
~*~
God must have had me in mind
when he gave me a friend like you.
He knew I would need advice,
and a helping hand or two;
~*~
Someone to pick me up,
when I stumble and fall,
when the world seems so horrible
and not worth living at all.
