November 10, 2026 ● 33 minShare this episode
It's a topic many of us wrestle with—how do we keep the faith in marriage when we can't see a single shred of evidence that things are going to change? I spent a big chunk of my marriage waiting for things to improve, praying for change, and sometimes just trying to hold on. If you're in that place where you're weary of waiting, I want to encourage you to hang in there with me through this episode. These stories and nuggets of truth will boost your spirit.
I know how hard it can be. Shaun and I got married young, with lots of challenges stacked against us. I spent years struggling, feeling broken, trying to trust God with no visible change. But sometimes it's about making the decision to believe and stepping out in faith, even when you're running on empty. You'll hear five practical tips while waiting for things to change in your marriage, as well as my personal experiences that will show you that you're not alone.
Key Takeaways:
-
Keep Praying: Prayer is your lifeline. Don’t give up on it, even when you feel like you’re just tossing words into the void.
-
Refocus Your Vision: Shift your focus from the problem to the problem-solver—there's power in setting your sights on Him.
-
Imagine the Outcome by Faith: Visualization isn't about wishful thinking; it's about aligning with the possibility of what God can do.
-
Act in Faith: Let your actions reflect your beliefs. It's amazing what can happen when we step out on what we say we believe.
-
Surrender: Sometimes the hardest thing is to let go, but it's crucial to give God complete control and trust His will over ours.

A Prayer to Remember You Are Truly Never Alone - Your Daily Prayer - November 12
Nothing is hidden from His sight because He knows all things; He knows hearts and our deepest needs, but when we share our burdens and cares with Him, we are reminding our soul of the goodness and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.
