Trapped in Marriage
Anyone else struggle with focusing too much on what your husband is doing wrong?🥴
Well this past couple months God has really been turning the attention back to me. He’s made me realize in so many ways how I am not being a godly wife just as much as I’m making my husband out to be. And at the end of the day I can only control my actions and thoughts, so I need to start there.
Here’s what I’ve been praying through:
💍How I think of my husband. Are my thoughts towards him a reflection of how God sees him, or is it one of distaste, condemnation, contempt and criticism.
💍 Am I holding on to resentment from past hurts that’s I’ve failed to address or neglected to share in order to forgive.
💍 Do I respect him as the head of this home. Do I trust his decision making or am I secretly plotting my own moves in the background.
💍Am I placing him above my children, or is all my energy and time going towards what they need, leaving nothing for him.
. . .
I’ve been challenged, and I mean CHALLENGED to renew my mind and see things through God’s lens. And I’m starting with me, while praying for my husband to be who God called him to be, cause child it’s GHETTO out here!
