I was just gonna say “how do I know if what I’m trying is working because most days I feel so exhausted and discouraged” and then she spoke of the Ecclesiastes verse ❤

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Listening to the podcast, one children's book immediately came to mind: Before I Was Me by Frank Fraser.<br><br>It is such a beautiful book and a wonderful read for my boys. Its message is simple yet profound: children are valuable, important, and deeply loved simply because they exist and God loves them, not because of who they become or what they accomplish in life. As a parent, I think that's one of the most important lessons we can teach our children.<br><br>It is definitely one of the top five books for my boys and one that I recommend to every family.

Your own marriage relationship feeds into how your son or daughter will perceive you. Our marriage is going through deep waters right now. The tension is evident to my children and I am struggling with how to show love and respect for their father. He isnt providing well enough for our family and we are struggling intensely with finances and regrets from very bad circumstances that landed us where we are at today. I am bitter and don't understand why we are so strained due to situations beyond our control. I work as well, so I am not resting the sole responsibility of provision on my husband. I am working on my heart, trying to ask God to intervene to change my thinking but when you are struggling as a couple, your kids sense your anxiety and depression. If anyone cares, please pray for us and pray for marriages that struggle and the kids that are unfortunately affected by the strain within the marriage.
