All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Please pray for my husband and me
My husband doesn't fully understand about my struggles with anxiety and depression. He's come across
to me as very supportive until he got very upset with me tonight saying that he's getting a lot done- more than me- that because I'm spending time with God- praying, reading Scripture, doing a Bible study, listening to Worship music. He's a believer, but I feel that God is wanting us to go much deeper with Him. I know - I have faith and hope- that I'm getting
better and I've been making progress- sometimes small, but it's progress! And I've been walking out in faith, with His help and making efforts to do things that I don't always feel like doing. I'm a teacher, so I have a lot of free time this Summer to do things slowly. I don't think my husband understands. He's felt like he couldn't communicate with me...he didn't want me to become weary over him bringing something up. I want us to have peace and a healthy relationship, that's fun and enjoyable. I know that God delights in my seeking Him out and that He loves me unconditionally and is patient with me through this, and that He will see me through. He sees the small things that I do around the house; above all, he sees inside, my heart and knows me through and through. I know I'm not alone, but I don't want to feel it. I'm not sure who to turn to. We have a meeting with our pastor tomorrow at 4pm to talk and hope and pray for a peaceful talk toward encouragement. I would chat with someone on here but my chat thing isn't working. I want to call my mom, but I don't know if I should get her involved. I have a few friends to call, but where do I start? I call out to Jesus and HE gives me peace. I do want peace with my husband, too. I'd love for him to be more gentle with me. I'm trying to change. Please, if you read this, say a prayer for us and for me- for protection from God himself. I'm thankful for all His help! For His ways! I know He gives me perfect peace because my mind is stayed on Him.

i'm trying to get the mindset of that i'm serving the Lord when i serve my husband
(but i think the Lord is much more understanding and gentle with me)

i understand.
i don't want to feel like i have to perform to please him. he loves service though. i feel like he's constantly
weighing out fairness of duties and he comes out doing more than me.
i'm trying to fight off the feeling of defeat in this area...the feelings that seem as though what I do
do isn't good enough. i know i've struggled in the last few weeks to do things around the house; he said that it wasn't good enough
i'm hesitant to hear his expectations because i've been afraid that i won't be able to meet them well; that he'll critique it.
i want to serve him freely with love, but i don't want him to critique it when i do

I meant that I need God's protection- yes!- his covering over me. :)
thanks so much for the responses. they mean so much! I place my hope and trust in Christ alone
to help in times of trouble. the joy of the Lord is my strength and I am and will overcome!
I Hope my husband gets closer to the Lord as well. Right now I feel like mary spending time at his feet, needing that, and my husband is martha saying "where is the help?"
I have hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel -for me and for us- that there's a future of laughing and strength and joy that bubbles over

Morgan, you don't need protection from God himself. You need His protection over you and it is a lie from satan to think that way. Recognize the enemy and rebuke that darkness in Jesus name. You see, God loves you and He wants you to trust Him in all things. He's God, Morgan. Nothing is too big for Him. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in truth and all these things causing you to fear will fall away from you. All you need do is say yes to Jesus and He'll take over from there. May you be blessed with the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father God in the Name of Jesus I pray for you to send ministering angels to Morgan and her husband. Lord Jesus reveal yourself to Morgan and show Her your power by bringing forth harmony in her marriage and in her life. Lord take hold of this situation and bring about the change needed for them to live in quiet confidence knowing that you are with them and they need nothing more then what you offer. Give them happiness Lord. Bless their home. Bless their relationship and bring about your perfect will in all the things that touch them, Jesus. Bring to Morgan's memory that she can do all things through Christ who strengthens her. Thank you Lord Jesus for the changes your making right now Jesus. Thank you Lord for all you are doing for Morgan. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
