Trusting God in the storm
It's not easy living for God and when trials come, the people who you thought would be there always, somehow are no longer around. This teaches us not to rely on people to get through tough times but rather to learn and trust the Lord at all times.

Only a few short months after I had gotten married, my husband and I didn't see eye to eye. He begin to say things to me that would hurt and attack me with words that I couldn't handle. I would just pray and try my best to push those things aside so that I could properly function at work. I felt like my husband was inadequate and that I was better than him. I said things that provoked him and as a response he said things that made me feel low. I expected him to be the husband I wanted him to be and he wanted me to be the wife he wanted me to be. Not really allowing one another to be who we are and learn to grow together. We both had character flaws. Clearly we needed to sit down and talk to one another and get through our differences. Maybe even go to counseling. We didn't agree to do these things. So things had gotten worse.

I thought I could trust God to mend the brokenness in my relationship with my husband and to restore the love and respect we once had for one another. I prayed for a miracle. I did all that I knew to do and my marriage was still on the rocks. I had no one to turn to for real advice. I was looking for God to truly speak into my spirit to tell me what to do. I didn't want a divorce and I didn't want to stay married to someone I didn't believe loved me....
Just trying to figure out why and when will things change. I would find myself in a place wondering what step to take, what decision to make. There's been so much wrong done that I don't know if things will ever get better and if the stains would ever be removed.

I'm at peace knowing that being a rock bottom, I have no other place to go but up. My Father is in control and will fight for me and my marriage. The enemy will not be victorious any longer. I am no longer defeated. I am an overcomer. Learning to speak forth the victories of God over my life helps me to see that my situation is getting better. I use to speak defeat over my life because that's what I saw, that's what I believed. Now, I trust God. This storm will soon pass and I will be so much better when it's over.
My prayer: Father there is someone right now that is going through a difficult time or just need encouragement, my hope is that my testimony helps them to understand that You desire for them to be victorious and undefeated. I pray they pour their heart out to You and ask that You give the strength they need to get through. In Jesus name, amen.
