When Life Is Hard

TRUTH
There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show your faith is genuine.  It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold— though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. 
Peter 1:6-7 NLT

TALK TO GOD
Lord, I come before You with gratitude, acknowledging the promise of joy that lies ahead for my husband, even in the face of the temporary trials he must endure. Guide him to recognize that these trials have a purpose, strengthening his faith—a treasure more valuable than any earthly possession. Just as fire refines gold, I ask You to refine his faith through these challenges, fortifying his determination and deepening his reliance on You. May his unwavering faith not only sustain him through difficult times but also help others see You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

THINK
How can you view the current challenges you are facing as opportunities for growth and self-discovery?

TAKE ACTION
Learn to ask for what you need in your marriage. Don’t comment, complain, or criticize. Simply explain your needs and make a clear request to your husband for help in meeting them.
