One thing I ask of the Lord…
Psalm 27:4
“Honey, I need a pair of underwear.” It was a basic need from
the lips of a man already packed for his week-long trip. But I spent the prior
day diligent in the laundry room. I put away every washed pair. How could my
day’s work not be enough?
Like a blanket, old feelings welled up within and suffocated me.
You’ll never make him
happy.
You’re a failure as a
wife.
Your best isn’t
enough.
I immediately ratted my husband out to God. He could soooo do
something about this…and I was sure He was on my side.
Lord, make him more
appreciative.
Lord, make him more
supportive.
Lord, change him.
My laundry had followed me away from the dryer. I had a laundry
list of things I wanted God to do in him. He whispered His answer in my ear.
One thing I ask of the Lord.
What if we only asked one thing of God?
One thing for our marriage.
One thing for our children.
One thing...
What would our one thing be?
