May. 21, 2008 - The Wife's Choice: Flight or Fight (In Prayer)

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

This is an excerpt from the Introduction:

If you wake up one morning with a stranger in your bed and it's your husband, if you experience a silent withdrawal from one another's lives that severs all emotional connection, if you sense a relentless draining away of love and hope, if your relationship is in so bottomless a pit of hurt and anger that every day sends you deeper into despair, if every word spoken drives a wedge further between you until it becomes an impenetrable barrier keeping you miles apart, be assured that none of the above is God's will for your marriage. God's will is to break down all the barriers and lift you out of that pit.  He can heal the wounds and put love back in your heart.  Nothing and no one else can.

But you have to rise up and say, "Lord, I pray for an end to this conflict and a breaking of the hold strife has on us.  Take away the hurt and the armor we've put up to protect ourselves.  Lift us out of the pit of unforgiveness.  Speak through us so that our words reflect Your love, peace, and reconciliation.  Tear down this wall between us and teach us how to walk through it. Enable us to rise up from this paralysis and move into the healing and wholeness You have for us."
