Marriages that are struggling or in crisis can be mended when God is at their center. He is always
faithful and wants the best for us. Even good marriages can be made great when we are open to
God’s leading and direction through prayer. As Corrie Ten Boom suggested above, I don’t want
prayer to be used only when something huge or catastrophic is happening in our marriage. I want it
to be the force drives us forward. Regular prayer together will do just that…steer us by God’s hand
toward a marriage that is both a blessing to us and to God.
Leaning upon Him,
Joan
About the Author
Joan Davis is married to her college sweetheart and is the
mother of two grown children, and the grandmother of two
sweet grandchildren. She and her husband make their home
in Northern California where they enjoy hiking and
exploring the great outdoors. As a young mother, Joan felt
God’s tug on her heart and accepted Christ as her Lord and
Savior, and over the years has been learning just ?how wide
and high and deep God’s love really is? (Ephesians 3:18).
Through both smooth and challenging times in her life, Joan
has seen God’s faithfulness and looks at each day as a new
day to cel ebrate His goodness. Joan believes that everything
in our lives happens for a reason and the life-lessons learned
along the way should be shared with others in order to build
the body up for Christ. Her prayer is that God will use her
writings and other offerings to bring honor and glory to
Him.
