Prayer Works

I sometimes kick myself when I realize that I have been agonizing over a problem and have ignored the most obvious.  Take it to God in prayer???  Why is it sometimes the very last thing I think of?

I have prayed and prayed about his drinking!  Something changed and thought the drinking has not stopped completely, it has reduced significantly.  So why do I forget to be thankful for this?  Why do I forget that it will take time for our relationship to heal?  Why do I forget that God should be at the forefront and be the first I take the challenges to?

I know that God is working in his own way, but I have expressed to my husband there are only two things I want right now.  To go to counselling together and for him to come to church with me.  I am praying that he can see his way through to do meeting these though it has been over a month since I expressed this to him.

I will keep praying, but am truly thankful for the change in him and the progress so far.  I know that God will help us and that we need His help to keep going and pray that I don't forget to lean on God all the way.  The days when emotions interfere. The days when a drink seems more important. The days when I am not paying attention. The days when I need to be more supportive, attentive and forgiving. 

Praying for continued progress and further distance from the drinking and praying that everything gets worked out.

God bless.
