Nurture Your Spiritual Life

Instead of having doubts about your husband, you may have good reason to feel secure. Maybe you feel stronger than you’ve ever felt before, ready for the full restoration of your marriage. Good!

No matter how you feel right now, remember to nurture your spiritual life. Follow the apostle Paul’s advice in Ephesians 6:13-18 (emphasis added):

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.”

Make use of all the battle resources available to you: God’s Word, prayer, support from other believers, and intentional time spent in the presence of the Lord. A steady, consistent spiritual investment will protect you and provide a safe space for you to heal.
