I had a tougher day today.
Wishing that my wife would give me more attention, appreciation, affection and sex.
Feeling like I couldn’t be happy until she did.
Then, God reminded me: Who is in charge of your happiness?
If I can only be happy if the people around me are acting certain ways…
I’m giving my power over to them.
Does that mean I just wait patiently forever and not get anything I want?
No.
It means I ask for what I want, work with my wife and others to find win-wins, and set boundaries of what I will and will not do if my requests are not met.
That’s where wisdom, prayer, and coaching come in.
To help you learn to do that.
