God give me the patience and the strength...7

[MidwesternGirl]

I think the key is to not whine and always say "I want...." when praying.

Personally for me, that would make me feel selfish. I do begin praying Hedge of Thorns, going thru prayers from The Power of a Praying Wife and another prayer book followed by looking up Bible verses and then I add in my own prayers and always thank God for the little blessings, the roof over our heads, the food we have, our health, to forgive me for things I may have done, to continue to work on my family, me, my h, and for the restoration of this marriage/family all in His perfect timing.
