We ask You to lead husbands and wives in the most effective ways to honor their commitment to love and cherish each other. We express our gratitude to every husband who demonstrates unwavering love for his wife and every wife who reciprocates the same affection for her husband. Thank You for being the embodiment of the sacred covenant of marriage.
Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. Hebrews 13:4 (NLT)
A marriage makes of two fractional lives a whole; it gives two purposeless lives a work, and doubles the strength of each to perform it. It gives to two questioning natures a reason for living and something to live for. It will give new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth and a new mystery to life. ~ Mark Twain A letter to his soon to be wife Olivia.
Operation World Pray for Togo : The political and economic situation remains precarious. A family dynasty ruling for over 50 years and an unequal electoral system both favour the central-northern Gur peoples over the southern Guinean peoples. Pray that God breaks down the resentment and bitterness between them. Poverty leaves orphans and unwanted children (over 300,000) vulnerable to human traffickers, and makes prostitution common. Pray for an end to these evils, and for effective ways to fight poverty.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
