God,

I come hear today to ask You for help in all situations. I try so hard to be strong when it comes to most things, but for some reason I am weak when it comes to my husband. I love him so much and can't see myself without him. I try to be the one who keeps our family together and I try not to focus too much on the negative things that have happened between us. There are days that I feel insecure and it seems that I have no sense of humor. That is not the case, it is just that I am too serious at times. He likes to joke, but a lot of times the things he says hurt my feelings. When he says hurtful things then I play them over and over in my mind until I get upset. He does not have a lot of patience and spouts out often when he is mad or hurting. I don't deserve to be the target when I have done nothing to purposely provoke the words that are coming out of his mouth. Please God, let him learn to hold his tongue in all situations and stop saying things that are hurtful out our impatience, spite or anger. Teach him to be a better person and I ask that you do the same for me as well. We need You in our lives, home, marriage and family. It seems when Dennis is listening to Christian music and opening his heart to You he is in higher spirits. We went to a Christian counselor and were doing well, but it seems to last a while then he slips back into his bad habits and negative thinking. I see a lot of his mom in him and I pray for her as well. Looking at the pictures of us before the bad things happened between us a couple of years ago brings tears to my eyes. I often wonder why the bad things happened and always blame myself. Dennis has no problem blaming me for everything either. He is constantly pointing his finger at me when something goes wrong. Even simple things. Every bad thing that happens is always my fault in his eyes. It really hurts me and I ask you Please God, intervene. Let us find a mentor who can continue to remind Dennis and I that You are in our lives and our family is one of the most important blessings that we have been given by You. Help me emotionally. Let these things just blow over my head and not affect me negatively. Help them to stop completely. I don't want to lost my husband again. I thank You for 2nd chances. Restore our marriage to its fullest and help things to get better. I love you God. I ask these things in Your name and the name of Jesus. Amen.
