		A Stander's Affirmation | 
			 
			
				
				
					
						
						I AM STANDING FOR THE HEALING OF MY MARRIAGE!... I will 
		
		
						not give up, 
		give in, give out or give over 'til that healing takes place. 
		I made a 
		vow, I said the words, I 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 for 
		worse, for richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad...so I am 
		standing NOW, and I will not sit down, let down, slow down, calm down, 
		fall down, look down or be down 'til the breakdown is torn down! 
						 
		I refuse to put my eyes on outward circumstances, or listen to prophets 
		of doom, or buy into what is trendy, worldly, popular, convenient, easy, 
		quick, thrifty, or advantageous... nor will I settle for a cheap 
		imitation of God's REAL THING, nor will I seek to lower God's standard, 
		twist God's will, rewrite God's word, violate God's covenant, or accept 
		what God hates, namely divorce! 
						 
						
		
		
		In a world of filth, I will stay pure; surrounded by lies I will 
		
						SPEAK THE TRUTH; where 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 I will not acquiesce, compromise, quarrel or quit.. 
		I have made the choice, set my face, entered the race, believed the 
		Word, and trusted God for all 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 
		
						ECONOMIC HARDSHIP, nor the prompting of the devil to make me let up, slow up, blow up, or give up 
		'til my marriage is healed.
