Follow Your Leader

Devotional Content:

What would Jesus do? If Jesus sat with you on your couch and you told Him about your unbelieving spouse, what advice do you think He would give? What would Jesus ask you to do?

First, I think Jesus would tell you that He loves your spouse more than you do and that His deepest desire is for your spouse to come to Him. Take confidence in that. You are not alone in this fight. Be patient. You have the Creator of the universe leading your team!

Second, I think Jesus would move close to you and hold you in His arms. He would tell you that He knows your road is not easy. Living with an unbelieving spouse is demanding and difficult every day. He gets it!

Third, I think Jesus would encourage you to find one or two friends to walk this road with you. You need people to pray for and with you. You need someone to call when the day is rough. You need the perspective of someone you trust when your perspective is clouded. You need someone who loves you deeply with the love of Jesus.

Fourth, I think Jesus would say that when you get discouraged and wonder if you can do this another day, He is there. Lean into Him, and let Him strengthen and refresh you. He understands the battle because He has been in it too. Let Him remind you who wins the war! Then with the strength only He can give you, follow His lead day after day after day.

We serve an amazing God. He is the Miracle Worker. Never give up. Because of Him, there will always be hope!

Today’s Challenge:

Start the habit of beginning your day with prayer for God to give you His wisdom and His strength.

Going Deeper:

Pray for God to bring someone in your life to walk this road with you—someone with a strong faith who you can trust completely; someone to pray for you and with you; someone who will consider it an honor to come alongside you in this journey.
