You...Lord

I am praying, waiting and trusting.  I am a work in progress.  It's so easy to get discouraged and to give up.  It's so easy to carry the burden.  It's so easy to listen to the enemy and to fall captive to his schemes especially when you feel your spouse does from time to time.  My knees and my face will hit the ground relentlessly and I will pray to You Lord.  I will wait on You Lord and I will trust in You Lord.  Dear Father, I need you now...quiet my storm and my uncertainty.  Use this as an opportunity to build my faith and turn beauty from ashes.  Bring us to you Dear Father...rebuild and restore what is rightfully Yours.  Use me as Your example...use me, use my marriage and use my spouse to show others Your almighty power, love and faithfulness...that You are in the business of miracles and restoration.  Use me, use us.  I am Yours. Forgive me when I cannot see You through the storm. Forgive me for taking my eyes off of You Dear Father.   Forgive me for hearing the words of my enemy...the ultimate enemy of my marriage. I am weary Dear Father, help me to find rest.  You are my refuge and help in time of trouble.  You are my safe place...cover me with Your feathers.  Turn my eyes to you oh Lord.  Keep my eyes on you Dear Lord.  Restore what is broken...so much is broken. Remove from our lives all who seek to devour us...all who are being used by the enemy to turn us away from each other and our covenant with You.  Cast down all evil in the form of all things destructive and illicit and bind the enemy in its many forms.  Remove from my life and my husband's life those who do not have the best interest of my marriage and my family at heart.  Open our eyes to those who seek to destroy what you have joined together.  Convict them Dear Father of their sinful and destructive ways.  Bring the evil of others to light so that my husband and I can see clearly who is against us.  Shine your light on any darkness in our marriage and in our lives.  Soften our hearts and open us up to each other.  Place forgiveness on our hearts toward one another even if not deserved.  Restore trust, truth, faithfulness, honesty, intimacy, friendship and love to our marriage.  Turn my husband toward me and turn me toward him.  You are our hope in time of need.  You are our defender and our rock.  Build a hedge of protection around my husband, around my family, around my marriage, around my home and around me.  I turn this over to You.  I cannot carry this weight anymore...this burden is too great.  I thank you for the healing you are doing in my marriage.  I thank you for the restoration you are working in my marriage.  I thank you for your faithfulness and your undeserved love and favor.  I will keep my eyes on You and You alone.  In the name of my Redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ...Amen.
