“Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” P55:22
I have learned from this chapter that there are many ways that fear will try to overtake you. One that is running rampant is the fear of our spouse being unfaithful—committing adultery.
For a long time, the fear of being cheated on consumed me. I was snooping, checking his phone, tracking him. I also told him once “maybe I should go be with someone else just to show you how it feels.” I know! I was horrible!! I was bitter and obsessive and it had taken over my mind. I thought I had to because I wasn’t going to let him get away with it. I wasn’t going to let him make me look “stupid”.
This fear still tries to pop back up every now and then, when it does I clear it out of my mind and talk to Him. The Lord is all I desire and all I need. With Him all that anger, hurt, and anxiety goes away.
Fear should not deter you from doing what is right. This lesson taught me to go to the Best Counselor only. He is all we need.
It really is better to not confront them. It does open up the door for it to be flaunted in your face. The ow and my eh then started together to drop my youngest off at the house, since it was no longer hidden. That’s why it’s so dangerous when you begin to snoop, it will uncover the pain that God had tried to protect you from. So please as this chapter states, when fear tries to overtake you (any fear, not just regarding your marriage or eh), go somewhere and be with the Lord, your Comforter, Groom, Heavenly Husband until that feeling subsides.

Thank you for sharing precious Hope, I have to admit it, I too did it, I even said I am the best detective ever and put myself in so many dangerous situations by following my eh and in the process it hurt me so much. I lived in so much fear for what could go more wrong but I am so grateful that my Darling took over.
And yes our Darling Lord is the best ever Counselor and He is all I need and all I want and I really have everything because I have Him and He is the One that turned it all around for me but I needed to give up that control that I so much wanted.
It’s a wonderful feeling of relief once we just give it to Him. When we surrender and give up trying to be in control, He can turn our lives around in amazing ways.
We must tell everything to our Husband! He loves us so much and when we decide to trust and we re focus our mind on Him, fear can no longer dwell in us. He is our loving Husband, the only One who can gives peace and joy in every single situation. Everything that happens will drawn us closer to Him. We are berver alone, He will gives open our minds to His power and love. We are not alone anymore.
Thank you for sharing 💕
I agree Isabella. It is important to trust in Him and focus our minds on Him. By turning to the Lord, we can overcome fear.💕
