As you may have read last week, I’m co-chairing a fundraiser this weekend. (See Overcoming Sexual Objections) Although our sex life hasn’t suffered, my time for blog writing has. But, I did have a quick thought this morning.
I cringe everytime I hear sirens race by our house. Sirens mean bad news. If any of my kids or Mr. Muscle are out and about town, there’s a moment of wonder. “Could those sirens be for someone I love?” And I pray.
I pray for those who summoned the sirens. I pray for those who needed the sirens. I pray for their loved ones. Am I the only one who does this?
There was a flash in my mind. I remember feeling the need for an ambulance to come save our marriage. Our wounded hearts were bleeding dry. What if I pray for hurting marriages everytime I hear a siren?
Let sirens be your reminder to pray for hurting marriages because sometimes hurting marriages don’t know how to call for help.

That is such a wonderful idea! I say a prayer for hurting marriages every time I see or hear a joke or hurtful stereotype about marriage, husbands, wives, or intimacy. I’ll add sirens starting right now.
This IS an awesome idea!!
I just hope couples in need will be covered in prayer. 🙂
This is a wonderful reminder to think of others.
God’s inspiration is amazing! Thank you.
Hi Bonny. I’m stopping over from Let’s Get Real today. I always pray when I hear sirens. I thought I was the only one. Good to know that I’m not alone. I like the thought of praying for marriages. I’m always so sad when I see marriages that I care about fall apart. This is a great way to remember all of those I love in prayer.
Hi Bonny! I always pray when I hear sirens. I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone. I find it very sad when I see marriages fall apart. Praying for marriages when I hear a siren is a great reminder to lift up all those I love in prayer.
I’m so glad to hear what you think. Thank you and blessings upon your marriage!
Oh this is so good.
Thx, friend.
