Marriage prayers requested - I need some outside strength

Please add my husband and I to your prayer list. We have had multiple problems in the past 6 months (and previously in the marriage), and I have a foot out the door. He is so committed to making it work, but I am guarded and my weak side is leading me to avoid the future heartache with this man. I ask that you please pray for God to show me the way and give me strength in this difficult time. Friends and family tell me to have courage and leave, but I think I need to have courage to stay, I just don't have much right now. Thank you.

Where is Jesus in this, babe? How are you with Him right now?

You've got our prayers. Talk to us any time.

I have let myself slack off in the Jesus department. I've been selfish and didn't want to be accountable for any wrong actions I've been taking, so I've neglected my prayers, got weak, and I allowed myself into some bad situations. But I realize I've been wrong, and am trying to get myself back on the right track any way I can. I feel resentful and a bit bitter towards my marriage and have the feeling that no matter what I do, it will end in divorce anyway. Which I know is wrong and why I need all the prayer help I can get! Thank you for asking and reminding me what's #1.

We all have a weak side that is why we have to stay focused on the goal, Jesus. And rely on him, and not ourselves. Weakness is relying on yourself.

I pray the Lord of all that is
To secure you with His hand,
And the most mighty
And yet most tender power known,
His love.
