Because of the love I have in my heart for you, I will hold on a little tighter.

The problems we have been facing lately seem to overwhelm us and break our hearts at the same time. The enemy would love nothing more than to destroy us. He has come to steal, kill, and destroy. We cannot allow him the satisfaction. Because our God is greater, I have faith that we can overcome any obstacle that we may face, as long as we do so together!

We have to be a united front, now more than ever before!

Forces of evil have come against us from all sides, but God is our shield and our protector. He is there ready to fight this battle with us and for us, if we only believe and call on Him!

Oh Lord … hear our cries …

Because you first loved us … because you gave your only son to die on the cross for us … we have been forgiven of our sins. There is no condemnation! Instead, there is unconditional love and eternal life!

Oh God …

We love because you first loved us!

Shield our marriage, protect our family, wrap us securely in your protective love. Drive out the forces of darkness that threaten us. Provide an army of angels to gather around us so the enemy cannot get close to us.

Because … our happily ever after is at stake.
