Hello, prayer friend, and happy new year. Our team is hard at work recording our new season of the

Prayers of Rest podcast, so in the meantime, we're bringing you some of our very best episodes from the past two years,

the ones that listeners have loved the most since we started. We'd love to hear which of these

episodes is your favorite.

You can simply tag me at Asherita when you share on Instagram or Facebook, or you can leave

us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and tell us which episode you're loving.

We'll be back soon with a brand new season.

Until then, let's get to today's prayer of rest.

Welcome to the prayers of rest podcast. I'm your host, Ashrida Chu Chu, and today we're praying

for a struggling marriage. If you are in the midst of one, if you find yourself caught up

in marriage difficulties or a spouse who's distant, or just try to figure out how to survive

with your marriage intact, then I invite you to personalize this prayer for yourself. And if you're

not in the midst of a marriage crisis,

then I invite you to pray for a friend, a family member, someone in your church, who you know

is experiencing a marriage challenge right now in this season. And then just text them a short

note, let them know that you've been praying for them.

God calls us to pray for one another and to carry one another's burdens.

We get to do that here on the Peres of Rest podcast as well.

So as we begin, take a deep breath as we become aware of God's loving presence around us and within us.

Today's passage comes from Isaiah 6, verse 8.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,

Whom shall I send, And who will go for us?
