Finding Beauty in Your Pain When You Stand for Your Marriage

Written by Jason Carver

DEVOTIONAL:

Scripture: Song of Songs 2:11–12 (TPT) - "The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth.”

Devotional Title: "Finding Beauty in Your Pain When You Stand for Your Marriage”

I know that while standing for your marriage you may be experiencing deep pain and heartache. It's easy to feel discouraged and wonder if your pain will ever stop and actually give birth to something beautiful. But in the midst of your trials, God wants you to know that there is purpose in your pain. In Song of Songs 2:11–12, God assures you that the season has changed, and He has been working behind the scenes to bring forth something glorious from your suffering.

In your greatest devastation, your worship has become a fertile, healthy womb. The tears you have shed have not been in vain; they have watered the soil of your heart. God has taken note of every tear and every moment of surrender before Him. He promises to pour out His beauty in the place of your pain. Just as rain nourishes the earth and causes flowers to bloom, God will bring forth new life and restoration in your marriage.

With every tear you shed, God gives you a seed to sow in someone's life. Your pain has equipped you with a unique empathy and compassion for others who are hurting. As you allow God to heal and transform your own marriage, He will also use your story to bring hope and encouragement to others. Your testimony will be a source of strength and inspiration for those who are going through similar struggles.

So take a deep breath, beloved. The season has changed. God has heard your prayers, seen your tears, and witnessed your surrender. He is faithful to cleanse your tears with His love and pour them back upon the dry soil of your circumstances. Prepare your heart to receive the golden rain of a new season, where your marriage will flourish and the air will be filled with the fragrance of restoration. Trust in God's perfect timing and His promise to bring forth beauty from your pain.

In conclusion, as you stand for the restoration of your marriage, remember that there is beauty in your pain. God is working in the hidden places, using your tears and surrender to birth something glorious. Your suffering has not been overlooked. Trust that God will pour out His beauty and bring forth new life in your marriage. Hold onto your faith, knowing that your story will be a testimony of hope to others. Breathe deeply and embrace the new season of restoration that God has in store for you.

I Hear the Lord saying...

“There is beauty in your pain"

“As you stand for your marriage to be restored please know that your pain has become the birthing ground for the beautiful. In your greatest devastation, your worship has become a fertile, healthy womb. From the seasons of sorrow now come glorious gifts for you to share. Nothing has been overlooked. Now you will see what I will do through you, because of what you endured while you bowed before me in surrender. In your place of your pain, I have poured out my beauty.

Heartbreaking tears of surrender have made you beautiful—so very beautiful to me. This is the most perfect offering of your yielded heart. I haven’t forgotten one single prayer. I have seen every movement of your heart toward me in your suffering. For every tear, I give you a seed to sow in someone’s life. I have taken your sorrow. I have cleansed your tears with my love. Now I pour these tears back to you as rain upon dry soil—golden rain of a new season where flowers bloom and the air is clean and fresh. Breathe deeply, my love. The season has changed. Receive what I am doing as you stand believing that I am restoring your family.”

This is originally from Brian Simmons' “I Hear His Whisper” but modified slightly for standers and their spouses.

PRAYER: "THANK YOU FOR LOVING MY SPOUSE"

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a heart full of pain and longing for the restoration of my marriage. I thank You for the assurance that there is beauty in my pain, and that You are working behind the scenes to bring forth something glorious. Help me to trust You fully and believe that my season of sorrow will give way to a season of abundant joy.

Lord, I surrender my marriage into Your loving hands. I lay down my doubts, fears, and disappointments, and I choose to believe that You are able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that I can ask or imagine. Strengthen my faith, Father, and help me to see beyond my current circumstances. I trust that You have not overlooked my pain, and that You will use it for Your purposes.

In this season of waiting, I pray that You would teach me patience and perseverance. Help me to focus on Your faithfulness and the promises You have spoken over my marriage. Use me, Lord, as a vessel of Your love and healing. I am willing to sow seeds of compassion and empathy into the lives of others who are hurting. May my story be a testament to Your faithfulness and restoration.

In Jesus' name, I declare that the season has changed. I choose to breathe in Your promises and breathe out the pain. I trust that You will pour out Your beauty upon my marriage, bringing forth new life and restoration. Thank You, Lord, for the hope and strength You have given me. I surrender my desires to Your perfect will, knowing that You are working all things together for my good.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
