Well so often in marriage when a struggle arises it seems like obvious I mean let's pray

about this.

Let's kind of offer this to God because he's outside of the current emotions in the conflict

and he sees and he's ultimately sovereign and can guide and direct us but how do we do

that?

I'm John Fuller along with Greg and Aaron Smolley.

They lead the focus marriage team and Aaron make this really kind of low shelf accessible.

It's easy to put a Christian wrap around this stuff but when I'm in the middle of some

sort of conflict with my wife Dina how do I give that to God?

How do I get out of me mode and somehow let God into this?

I think it's important that we do it again and again and again and there's different things

that we're doing each time as far as you know I know for me I need to check in with me

and figure out what's going on with me and I can invite God into that process as far as

what am I feeling?

Miss this frustration maybe I am feeling frustrated or maybe I'm feeling not good enough or maybe

I'm feeling unwanted you know what it's unfair I'm being taken event whatever it is let

him in to that process and then begin seeking his truth what is true about me what's true

about this situation but then it's taking all of that and I often will imagine just putting

it at the foot of the cross and releasing it to him but what I know to be true is human

beings it comes up again and then again I identify what good question I like to ask myself

and miss that is what do I really want here how did I want this to go and I hand that

over to him too knowing that he's with me that he will take care of me he's my protector
