A Stander’s Affirmation
2 Chronicles 16:9 & Psalms 25:14 & Matthew 19:6
I am a stander for the healing of my marriage for God’s glory to be known.
My marriage is not about me but about Jesus and His unconditional love for His Bride, His Church.
I will not give up, give in, give out, or give over ’til the healing takes place.
I made a vow, said the words, and gave the pledge.
I gave a ring, I took a ring, I gave myself, I trusted God, and said the words and meant the words. . . .
in sickness, and in health, in sorrow and in joy, for better, or worse, for richer or for poorer, in good times, and in bad. . .
So I am standing now, and will not sit down, let down, slow down, calm down, fall down, look down, or be down ’til the break down is torn down and rebuilt in God’s timing for His glory to be known!
I refuse to put my eyes on outward circumstances, or listen to prophets of doom, or buy into what is trendy, worldly, or advantages. . .
Or will I settle for an imitation of God’s real thing, nor will I seek to lower God’s standard, twist God’s Word, rewrite God’s Word, violate God’s Covenant, or accept what God hates, divorce and abortion to His plans for my life.
In a world of filth, I will stay pure; surrounded by lies, I will speak the truth; when hopelessness abounds, I will hope in God; where revenge is easier, I will bless instead of curse; and where the odds are stacked against me, I will trust in God’s faithfulness.
I am a stander and will not acquiesce, compromise, quarrel or quit.
I have made the choice, set my face, entered the race, believe God is able, and trust God for the outcome!
I will allow neither the reaction of my spouse, nor the urging of my friends, nor the advice of my loved ones, nor economical hardships, nor the promptings of the devil to make me let up, slow up, blow up, or give up ’til my marriage and others are healed.
