Calling in Reinforcements

So, you're standing for your marriage and you know it's gonna get tough.  This is not a battle that you can give up on though even if you get tired.  There is too much on the line for you to give up or take a break.  There is a story in the Word about this very thing.  It's found in Exodus 17...go read it.

Basically, when Moses' hands were lifted Israel would win the battle.  When they fell, the enemy began to overcome.  When Moses' hands grew weary, Aaron and Hur helped him keep them up.  And Israel won the battle.

Are you here at this point?  Have you grown weary in the fight?  Are your hands tired from being raised?  It's time to call in reinforcements!

Now, we are not talking about just anyone.  Not everyone is able to stand with you and pray the way that you need right now.  So, be careful about who you ask.  Don't ask a member of the opposite sex to pray with you for your wayward spouse.  That will only serve to make a connection with them that could easily lead to an ungodly relationship.  And don't ask the church's token gossipper...that will only serve to have EVERYONE know your business.  Ask another couple that is secure in their marriage to pray with you.  Ask those close friends that are with you to the end...no matter what. 

We all get weary, but we just can't stop fighting. We are petitioning our readers to pray for marriages today; pray for those prodigal spouses to come home.  Pray that your fellow standers will continue to have strength to fight.  We have recently been receiving phone calls, e-mails, and texts from many of you who are really struggling. 

Let's pray for one another......
