Chapter Four

Wow. I can't believe how much this chapter has talked to me, in fact I can't help but think about finding some way to put up Psalm 32 so that it can be a constant reminder of the blessing and relief that God gives us when se confess what we have done wrong. The three lies that spoke out to me the most were I can sin and get away with it. My sin isn't really that bad. I cannot walk in consistant victory over sin.

I would like to write the prayer I wrote for Psalm 32:1-5. I already read this to Scott, and he said "Amen!"

Lord there is so much in this passage. Oh the blessings we receive from you upon our confession. The terrible weight keeping our hearts down is lifted. Is this what is causing my depression? I know Scott has mentioned that I am also unergoing a spiritual battle. Lord, help me to be like "Cheryl" confessing that I cannot do this on my strength. Help me to know youar strong and able hands are there to lift me up. Lord, I know there have been oh so many sins that I have committed, the most common is lieing. I thank you for giving me the strength and courage to start telling Scott the truth. I pray it will not be too long before he feels he can trust me again. Help me to be the wife and mother you have called me to be. I thank you for the dvds that have helped me to know how to show respect o Scott better, but that still has a long way to go on both our parts.

This is my prayer, and if you feel led to be praying for us, pray that our marriage will strengthen and that God will be the center of our marriage as he is the only thing we know will be the constant in it all. Pray that we will learn about each other and that we will have a willingness to share it without feeling threatened or that the other person may not really care. Pray for our kids as I know that this can not be an easy time for them with mommy going through so much, but that this will actually be a time of learning for them and that they will know in the future that seeking help is not something to be afraid of doing.
