I broke out the Women of Faith study Bible. There staring in my face was scripture detailing what I should do about the anger I was feeling at this time in my life. If I remember correctly I could not get through the day without crying. I could not stop getting angry at life. My son had Autism, my daughter refused to listen and my husband at the time was just plain mean.
I have marked Proverbs 15:1, 18, I was not in a place where I listen to the nuggets of advice coming from God. Why do I listen now? The best answer is probably the most obvious is my surrender to God because I can't do this on my own. The next best answer is my second husband Barry who is not afraid to lead. I listen to God's word and with Barry's help I obey. The world today may say that obeying God and trusting my husband to lead is weakness. God sees it as strength. My willingness to listen makes me a better wife and mother.
Take time to listen because you will gain strength.
