This journey learning to trust God more has been just that, a journey. I have turned so many things over to God. These are things that should have been at his feet to stay already. However, learning to trust means being okay with leaving them there. Freedom is a good word to describe just how I feel about letting go of these things. Situations have happened that have been totally out of my control, I've handled them better than ever before. That alone is so humbling. He cares about me. When I say that out loud it makes me cry. God cares about me. Little me. The unworthy me. The fail often me. Long way to go me. Wow!!! It doesn't get better than that.
I've been praying for the "Mr.", my children, friends, family, the body of Christ, and so many other things. The more I dig in, the more He reveals himself to me. The more I am in His word, the more equipped I am to run the course. The more I see myself as Christ sees me, the more aware I am of his plans for me.
I want to encourage anyone that is struggling in their marriage to continue to pray without ceasing. I recently received unexpected news. I was shaken. Upon receiving the news my focus shifted from God to the problem. I was sinking and no longer walking on water. Just like that God used "The Mr." to minister to me. He spoke the Word of God over me. Yes, the unbelieving spouse that I've been praying for spoke God's word over me. He encouraged me in a way that only God could do through him. I believe in miracles.

I love what you wrote~"The more I dig in to His word, the more He reveals Himself to me." That, my friend, is the key to life, and it's something that most people neglect or give up on entirely. Stay strong and keep up the good work! Prayer is another key, and it sounds like you're being faithful in that as well! And I believe in miracles too. :)
