A prayer for your wife's well-being by Jennifer Heron.

Finally all of you be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

First Peter, 3-8.

I was working at a place where I had become more and more miserable.

It didn't feel like it was the right place for me.

I looked for other options, but when none came, I figured that God had a reason, and even

a plan for me to be just where I was.

I tried to stick it out, and I even tried to do it with a smile on my face.

I would get through my days trying to stand up under the pressure as best I could, but

it wouldn't take much to knock me over.

Traffic after one of those long, entire days was often the thing that threw me off-kilter.

All that I wanted to do was get home, but cars all around me seemed to block me at every

turn.

When I would finally get home, I'd throw my arms around my husband and weep.

He understood exactly what I needed, to be held and loved until the tears went away.

The Apostle Peter understood this when he wrote.

Husbands must give honor to their wives, they should treat them with understanding.

Something that realizes that women are weaker in physical strength, even though they are

fully equal as a part of God's creation, and sometimes need extra care, 1 Peter 3.7.

Often God uses people to show his love to other people, but even in the moments where

no human being is around, God comforts his children in a multitude of creative ways.

Like this.
