Believing The Best

TRUTH

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight.  O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14 ESV

TALK TO GOD
Lord, I need to be honest here. The things that come out of my mouth and the thoughts bouncing around in my head are not always what You would want. I know that what I say is a reflection of what is in my heart. So today, I want to confess the unhealthy thoughts I have been having about my husband. I know these thoughts are not doing me any favors, and they are definitely not helping our marriage. Please help me change my thinking. Instead of being critical, let me focus on being thankful. Instead of making accusations, help me ask questions. Help me stop assuming and assigning the wrong meaning to my husband’s actions. Lord, I want to believe the best about my husband and see us as the team that we are. I pray that my husband will also become more aware of his thoughts. Show him when his thinking is leading him in the wrong direction, and help him renew his mind. In Jesus’ name, amen.

THINK
Think of some of the character traits that drew you to your husband when you were dating. Focus your thoughts on those traits, as well as the other positive qualities he possesses.

TAKE ACTION
Thank your husband for one thing he did this week that you noticed but may have taken for granted at the time.
