I refused to allow the devil destroy my family |
I love Daniel so much and I gave him the promise of being with him till death during our courtship, leaving him now was a thing I couldn't imagine. I refused to focus on whatever attitude I see now from him but hoping someday we will smile again. I resorted to prayers and a battle against the one that stole our joy.
The battle field was the closet in my room. I itemised what I wanted from God. I didn't fail to let God know I want my husband back to myself, because I was at the verge of loosing him to pressure coming from friends and family. I had to spend quality time in studying the word and in meditation, wrote out scriptural verses I want to memorize for prayers. 12am on dot, I was up for serious battle in prayers. Fasting became a daily dose as sometimes I forgot to eat.
I drew my strength from the presence of God. His joy was always my strength. This is where I got my smiles from. After each prayers, I always feel this joy welling up within me. Daniel would be wondering what is always amusing me. The joy within me was my assurance God was attending to my case. It made me to know I was not alone. I was always glad going to the closet to meditate and pray because it will add to my joy again.
God face was shinning on me until it became evident I was pregnant. Before this time, the first answer I received to my prayers was the coming back of my husband.
Now we pray together always |
We won't relax as long as the devil keeps hovering around looking for whom to devour their joy. To God be the glory, it's really been more than 50 smiles all the way.
Hmmmmm...this is the part that got me thinking and asking myself if I am really born again. Will I be able to tarry in the presence of God like Tochi? Will I be able to pray until something happened? And after prayers have been answered, will I relax? These are questions you should ask yourself too. Prayer truly is an investment. And how wonderful it is for partners to hold their hands in prayers.
A family that prays together stays together.
God will strengthen you in the place of prayers in Jesus name, Amen!
