Observations:

This is what I need to constantly pray and remember. If I ever get off-track, and I return to the Lord, then He will return to me as well.

Application:

Pray this over me, my husband, our marriage, my loved ones, my city, my state,  the USA, the Church as a whole, and the world.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to remember this often and pray about it.
