today a good friend sent me a very inspiring email.. just as i'm still pondering on my friend's marriage issue, this message seems to be meant for them..
'Unhindered Prayers'
Did you know that the way you treat people has an impact on the effectiveness of your prayers?
The Bible says that the prayer of the righteous person is powerful (James 5:16), but if we aren’t treating others with honor, kindness, and respect, then we aren’t allowing His righteousness to operate in us. When we don’t treat others the way we should, it closes the door to God’s power and hinders our prayers.This is especially true in a marriage relationship.
Marriage isn’t just an agreement between two people to live life together. Marriage is a God-ordained institution that helps us understand love and unity. When two people are married, they become one physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
And, this particular passage is directed toward husbands, but it applies to all believers as well. We should all treat others “with understanding” which means considering the needs of others above our own. We should always aim to treat others with kindness, dignity, and respect and quickly choose forgiveness.
What a great blessing to my heart and a reminder to my mind..
i pray it will bless you too..
1 Peter 3:7
In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat her with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. If you don't treat her as you should, your prayers will not be heard.
