Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

~Philippians 4:4-8

Unanswered Prayers - It's NOT about me! (or you!)

A friend of mine is doing a series about Unanswered Prayers.  On Friday she did a post called, It's NOT About Me! which I found very profound and convicting.  I recommend you check it out.  Even if your husband is a Believer I think there are some good nuggets in this post for you.  Things in your husband's life, his relationship with God, where you may feel tempted to put in your two cents at times.

I can't tell you how many times I've been in the same situation, how many times I've caught myself thinking about how much easier it would be on me if my husband would just submit to the Lord.  And each time, if I listened carefully I would hear the Lord saying "it's not about you, my dear!"

How true.  I need to remember that my husband's relationship with God is between him and God.  I am not part of that equation.  I'm called to love him and pray for him, period!
