Hey standers,

I noticed that a lot of standers are going through rough times lately and just wanted to share with you something that was sent to me as an encouraging reminder.

Keep these pointers in mind...

Don't give up! - Just give your situation completely to God.

Don't give into anger - Satan will try to discourage you and make you angry at your spouse.

Don't hate - Hatred stirs up strife. Continue to love your spouse with God's love.

Grow in God - Jesus wants to use this time in your life to make you rely on Him.

Don't let what you see affect you - You will probably notice your spouse, or those around or influencing your spouse to act differently than usual. Things tend to get worse before they get better - DO NOT let what you see in the natural get you down. Just remember, many times you can't see what God is doing in the spiritual.

Spend time praying for others - Don't just focus on your immediate problem. Also focus on others. While you are growing in God, your prayers for others are also powerful.

Praise & Worship Jesus - It's hard many times to praise and worship our creator in trials and hard times. Satan HATES it when we can worship and actually thank God for the situation that we are in, because it makes us stronger.

Also this morning I was reminded, once again, that the holidays are upon us. Remember that The Lord told us in the book of Hosea chapter 3, "Go again and show your love for your wife who is committing adultery with another lover. You must love her just as I still love the people of Isreal even though they turn to other Gods."

One of the ways you may be able to do this is by inviting you prodigal to Thanksgiving Dinner. They may say yes, they may say no. But the point is that you have done what the Lord has instructed you to do by showing unconditional love to a spouse who is not showing love right now. No matter how you show love to your spouse dont worry about their reaction, just ask the Lord what is right for your situation. Do what God says and let him work out the details. Remember the fight is not yours, its Gods.
