About Guarding the Wellspring: broken marriage, whole heart
Are you in the midst of a messy marriage? Do you love God and love your husband, despite the trials you're encountering? Do you need a balm for your weary heart, and a friend for your arduous journey? If so, you've come to the right place! Join me every Sunday for prayer and meditation, take a peek into my evolving journey, hear from other women in messy marriages and experts who can help us grow into the women God calls us to be.
Have you ever found yourself thinking you "don't have a choice"? If so, the challenge this week is to identify those moments as they happen, so a space of possibility can open up. This is an all too common feeling in broken and troubled marriages, but by God's grace, it doesn't have to be this way.
Also this week, you have to check out Pastor Stephen Furtick's message on tuning your heart! (https://elevationchurch.org/sermons/tune-your-heart-to-truth)

6. Set a new course for your marriage by admitting the truth
When our marriages are dysfunctional, destructive, abusive, or broken, it is all too easy to want to hide from the hard truths. But it is only in facing the truth head on with Jesus that we can begin to chart a way forward to the abundant life He wants for us.
Meditation starts at: 35:25
