Day 22

Gosh, I need to look back and see when I started this "30 days" of prayer. I bet it has taken me 2 months! It's crazy how hard it is to do something for 30 days consistently. Once, I didn't have caffeine or chocolate for 40 days-not sure how I'm alive after that one. ;) anyway, I shall push forward and complete this!!! Day 22
Pray that your husband will practice forgiveness in your relationship and with others. Pray that he will recognize any roots of bitterness, and yield any resentment and unforgiving attitudes to the Lord. (Eph. 4:32; Heb. 12:15) Eph 4:32 "Be kind to each other, tender hearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." I think I struggle with this more than Aaron! Not only in my marriage, but in all my relationships I struggle with forgiveness. Hebrews 12:15
"Look after each other so that none of you fails to see the grace of God. Watch out that no root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many." Sometimes I feel like I am the root of bitterness. Past experiences engulf me with sadness and despair. I hope I can someday find a way to not let those feelings define who I am. I pray Aaron will always support me through these rough times and I pray my bitterness decreases over the years.
