We’ve done it! We’ve completed the 31-Day Challenge.
For those of you who are still with me on this, I want to tell you that I’m proud you’ve made it through.
I know that some of you already pray for your marriages every day, and that’s awesome! But for some of you, this is a brand new experience. One that I hope you’ve enjoyed.
It doesn’t have to, and it shouldn’t stop here. Prayer is a privilege. Prayer is a powerful force. Prayer is one-on-one time with God. How awesome is that?!
Hold on to this gift, and don’t let it slip out of your hand for a minute.
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Thank you for doing this challenge. And thank you for obeying God and sharing your most intimate moments. It is so wonderful to know that God turns not so pleasant experiences into good for us an those we come in contact with. I know that because someone else suffered through something they have been able to help and guide me through some tough times as well. And I have been able to do the same for others , and when that happens it’s like you can see clearly Gods’s work in our lives and his purpose. I cannot even begin to express the miracles God has performed in my life over the last year and I just want to praise him and encourage someone who is struggling in marriage or anything else. Hang in there, pray and trust him, and he will make a pathway through the wilderness and he will exchange ashes for beauty! Thank you again and I pray God continues to bless you and use you in this awesome way!!
This is a wonderful series. Congratulations to YOU for successfully completing your 31Days challenge!
Darlene,
Thank you so much for guiding us in this very special time. It is a gift to us that will live on in the marriages that will be made stronger, happier, and filled with faith. Some may come to an end but let the wife that prayed, be blessed with the knowledge that she too is led by Gods love .
I have some painful issues to deal with, but I will continue to pray on them .
You have been a shining star in Gods light leading us to His grace. Thank you.
Darlene … Thank you once again for your “beautiful messy love’, sharing your wisdom with us and these beautiful prayers that we can continue to pray for our marriages and our spouses. I agree with this saying that those who pray together, stay together, but some of us are not as fortunate to have spouses that pray or even know the Lord or surrender to Him (yet), I’m still believing though after 40+ years of praying faithfully for salvation that God will bring this to pass (it’s not God I have the problem with, it’s the one receiving, so I continue to press in and ask that God soften and prepare his heart and mine because the Holy Spirit is at work-Amen!) This wonderful challenge and excellent book inspires and encourages me against all odds to keep seeking God and His will. I’m holding out for that “Hope and Redemption”! Since we love our spouses and desire what’s best, how much more God does! I thank Him for loving me and helping me love better! (and you too)! May God bless you and Michael, your family and this ministry! Thank you so much! Hoping many join you for the November Book Club with Women Living Well! Bless you,
Love and peace,
Peggy
Darlene, Thank you for all of the hours and heartfelt effort you put into this challenge that you brought to us. I’ve looked forward to reading them each morning and bringing the wisdom and knowledge into my marriage. Thank you again ! and I will continue in prayers for you, in the Lord’s guidance and inspiration for you in your talents.
I would like to add my thanks for all the hard work that went into this series… I for one have learned so much & I’m glad to say that using the ideals that I’ve learned I have realized that I am third… God is # 1 in my life & then my husband… my job is to pray to God that He will help me to grow closer to Him & to my husband… a couple of months ago I wasn’t sure that my marriage was going to make it (around our 27th anniversary) I thought all love was gone but after making sure that I not only prayed the prayer from this series I prayed for my marriage & my husband at other times & now my marriage is once again a very happy marriage & about the only thing that changed was my attitude towards things… May God bless you everyday & continue giving you the words to help others…
Thank you for letting The Lord lead. It has been a blessing and encouragement our God is an awesome God!!! We live in a time that the devil is at work against our marriages and homes and we need to be praying without ceasing more than ever and asking for His direction in everything (Jeremiah 42:3) God Bless you and yours
Darlene, Thank you for this challenge, for your time, for your words, for your encouragement! Praying blessing upon blessing heaped back on you!
Blessings,

Thank you so much for this challenge. Going into this challenge my husband and I were living apart and in the past few days he has come home and I know it is because of the power of prayer. I am very nervous now that this challenge is over that I will not be praying as hard and feverently as I have over the past month. I am starting the Messy Beautiful Love book club and would appreciate any other challenges, activities etc that you will be doing. Thank you again,
Angela
I’m thrilled to hear your good news Angela! I’m rejoicing with you!
