Be honest with your children. If you have children, admit that you’re experiencing trouble in your marriage (no matter how old they are, they already know anyway). Answer all of their questions honestly, trusting God to guide your timing and words. Ask them to pray for you and let them know that you’ve placed your hope in Jesus.
Dream about the future. Pray
specifically about each of your dreams for the future, asking God to help you
let go of the ones that don’t reflect His plans for you and to embrace His
dreams for your life – which are better than you could ever dream on your own.
Look forward to more healing and a good future ahead.
