Day 2: When Love Is Tested by Life 💪🏾❤️
Soulful Summer: 5 Days of Faith, Fiction & Real Love
Hey Queens of Purpose,
Welcome back to Day 2 of Soulful Summer!
Today, we continue with Battles of Love as Ellie & Jeremiah face the storms that come after the “I do.”
When Love Is Tested by Life
Scripture:
“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” — Matthew 26:41
Reflection:
Ellie and Jeremiah had overcome so much together. But three years into their marriage, the storm didn’t stop, it shifted. Distance grew, triggers resurfaced, and temptation started to whisper...
This is what often happens after the “I do”—the test doesn’t end, it evolves. When life gets busy and emotions run low, the enemy plants seeds of doubt and dissatisfaction. But Jesus said, “Watch and pray.” Stay alert. Stay connected to God.
Journal Prompt:
Where am I most vulnerable to temptation right now? What can I do to “watch and pray” more intentionally this week?
Prayer:
Lord, help me recognize the slow drift that leads to destruction. Give me strength to run from temptation and fight for what You’ve blessed me with. Amen.
