When You Feel Like Giving Up On Your Marriage
I know it is hard right now…
I know it feels hopeless…
I know it seems like the end…
But Jesus has not brought you this far to give up now! When things get complicated, and you feel like giving up, I want you to remember this:
You are stronger than you think.
As a child of God, you have the Holy Spirit’s power to strengthen and provide you with enough grace to endure each day’s challenges.
You have Jesus in your corner.
God is “for” your marriage and will help you deal with every difficulty, but often that includes Him addressing your own heart’s issues resulting from the struggles in your marriage.
You have help available.
Whether it is one-on-one counseling with a pastor or psychologist, godly advice from a seasoned believer, or support from a “Christian Wives” Facebook group, there are encouragements and help available to get you through the most difficult times.
Marriage can bring out the best and worst in both spouses. Even though we hope for and expect the best, nothing ever prepares us for the worst from each other. During these times, climbing up into Jesus’ lap and drinking from His well of unconditional love, unending grace, and immense patience provides us with the greatest comfort and reassurance available.
No matter what you are facing today, Jesus loves you more than you know. Lean on Him, allowing Him to fill your heart with hope today.
