I just don't feel anxious anymore. I really feel that I have been blessed so much that I can't possibly feel bad anymore or I might offend God. I definitely don't want to do that right now.
So, character, faith and patience it is!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.

Belief, Hope, and Faith. It's all a lot of us have to hold onto right now.

JR, right now I do not feel like anyone should look up to me. First I have sucked @ss at DBing and failed in so many ways. But I got bombed today pretty badly and am struggling with it now. See my thread for the update.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
Here is a prayer I thought may help you. It's essentially praying God's Word over your marriage.
Lord, I come before you in the Name of Jesus with praise and thanksgiving for the many blessing You have already given to me.
Your Word tells me that if I confess my sins to You, You are faithful and just to forgive me (1John 1:9). If there are any sins that I have failed to confess, I ask You to reveal them to me so I can ask Your forgiveness.
Lord, You know better than even I do, the ways in which I have failed in my marriage. I'm asking You to take control. I'm placing my marriage and my family at the foot of the cross. Jesus, where my eyes can see no way...I know YOU are THE Waymaker. Where I see no signs of healing, I stand here knowing the YOU are THE Healer. When I have not one ounce of strength to keep going I know that YOU are my Strength. Make a way for us Lord, to find our way back to each other with Your Word lighting the path.
Help me to become the husband You mean for me to be.......Lord, You know my wife is lost.......search her heart and deliver her from the things that seek to destroy our family through her. Bring our family to the forefront of her mind every single day and turn her heart back toward home. Cause her to remember the love that brought us together. Where love has died, create a new, stronger love, with You as our foundation. Reveal to us both, the areas in which we need to forgive each another. Help us to forgive each other in the same way that You forgive us...completely, unconditionally and without looking back.
Lord, Your word says that You knew each of us before You formed us in our mother's wombs. That You numbered every hair on our heads. If my wife doesn't truly know You, I pray that she will long to know You and will seek you because Your Word says "seek and you shall find"....
Lord through this time that we are separated protect our minds and our bodies from any and all devices the enemy will use to drive us further apart. Protect our children, Lord, under the shadow of Your Wings. In the Name of Jesus, I claim Your Word that "no weapon formed" against any member of my family will prosper.
I thank You Lord, for I know that these things are already done. As soon as I gave control over to You, I obtained the victory for my family. Help me to be patient while You do Your work to restore my family.
