Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with a beautiful marriage to the love of my life. He is such a loving husband & companion whom I have been blessed to spend the rest of my life with. Please help him to feel your presence as he finishes up his time serving in the army, and please provide him with the daily strength to keep a positive attitude despite the harshness and unfairness he experiences from his chain of command. Please give me the strength to be supportive of his discernment in choosing what he plans to do next with his life. And please help me to be tender, patient, & understanding during his days of negative attitude...he is in physical pain from his injury & I know he is worried that he won't be physically qualified for many jobs when he is medically discharged from the army. Please guide us through these challenges & help us to uncover the beautiful plan I know you have for our lives. It's hard not knowing what comes next & where we will be a year from now, but help us to put our trust in you. Help us to rise each time we may stumble or even fall on this journey & walk with us in our love & life. Amen:)
