when my husband, john and I were first married and differences arose between us, praying was definitely not my first thought. In fact, it was closer to a last resort. I tried other methods first such as arguing, pleading, ignoring, avoiding, confronting, debating, and of course the ever-popular silent treatment, all with far less than satisfying results. It took some time to realize that by praying first, these unpleasant methods of operation could be avoided. john and i have been married over a quarter of century. This is nothing less than miraculous. It's certainly not a testimony to our greatness, but God's faithfulness to answer prayer. I confess that even after all these years, I am still learning about this and it doesn't come easy. While i may not have as much practice doing ir right as i have had doing it wrong, I can say without reservation that prayer works.
