Do Not Be Afraid By: Amanda Idleman But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. - Psalm 56:3 Life can be scary, sometimes even downright terrifying. Most marriages have to weather job loss, disappointments, financial stress, parenting issues, losing loved ones, differences of opinions and so much more. When difficult circumstances arise the voice of fear is usually the first voice that pops into our heads. We start to wonder how our relationship could possibly make it through this. It's important to remember that our marriages are not just the union of two souls, but a third entity makes up a very essential part of a healthy relationship; the Holy Spirit. He's there to carry us through the hard stuff. He's the one we should bring our fears to! We trust God when we face uncertainty; we don't lose hope or point blame at our mate. We can also be a catalyst for peace in our spouse's life. Our words can point them back to trusting Jesus when the hard stuff comes our way. When you hear fear come from the mouth of your spouse you have the choice to either stoke the fire of fear or speak words of peace reminding them that God is in control! |
