Faith, Hope, And Love - New Year Prayers for Couples

It’s been quite a start of the year for many people, and I’ve heard that January has the highest divorce rate.

I know for some the holidays brought some reprieve, a release, a reminder of why we do what we do.

But for those who have been really struggling with pressures, resentment, loneliness - the holidays can be so heavy.

I have often been stuck in prayer, nursing my sick child (or self), wondering why it’s not easier. What is the ‘secret’ to instant prayers being answered - to living life easier, to instant healing, to calming the storms.

Calm in storms comes from faith not fear But I am reminded of when Jesus was asleep on the boat - he didn’t need there to be no storms to feel safe, he felt safe (so safe he could sleep) on the boat in the middle of a massive storm!I realized that is the faith I have, we all have been given. It’s not about quieting the storms or living without any of the storms of life, but to be steadfast in any storms life throws at us.

And this made me think of how often we do this in our relationships too. Tell each other what they are thinking, or what they should do, instead of ask.

And spend more time talking and trying to persuade why what we think matters or is important than we do listening! It’s not about superiority or control but working together. It’s beautiful what we can co-create when we’re on the same page.

I wish you a year of faith, hope, and love. The greatest of these is love.
