I walked into church with such a heavy heart. I’d gotten into a disagreement with my husband just before leaving home, and in an angry, regrettable moment, stormed off. Hi I’m Lysa TerKeurst with Proverbs 31 Ministries. I found myself sitting alone, thinking I don’t belong here. I looked around the church and mistakenly thought, Everyone else has it so together. But then a friend sat beside me and in a huff confessed she’d had an argument with her husband, too. Wow. The reality is no one’s life is perfect. When I walk around thinking everyone else’s life is better than mine, it paralyzes me and makes me feel like a failure. Sure there are things I need to work on, like patience with my husband. But instead of letting that define me as a bad wife in a bad marriage, I see it as a call to action. And then real improvement can happen.

I had a bad attitude Dec.23,2008 going to work to clean for my handicapped friend. She wanted to go to the mall and it was raining and snowing and just miserable. I called a friend to tell her to pray for me and She too had had a bad attitude that same day. I hung up the phone and turned on my car radio and this devotion was what I heard. God was sure talking to us that day. I called my friend back and told her of the devotion and we laughted and knew God was with us.
