Action:

• 1 Peter 5:7 KJV declares, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Choose to cast your cares, worries, desires, and anxiety over to God. Give it over to God. Whatever that “it” may be—choose to deliberately give “it” over to Him.
• Make a list of your cares, worries, desires, and anxieties and deliberately cast them over to God.
• Decide not to blame each other for the past. Choose to surrender your thoughts, cares, and desires over to Christ daily.
• Your spouse is not your enemy. Redirect your frustrations and pray for one another. Choose not to war against each other. Redirect your focus and war together.
