Sometimes there is simply no help in sight. The pain is still there and no apology is coming. You have done your best but there is no "thank you". Tears and pleading falls on deaf ears. Or, there are no more tears or pleas or prayers; you are just exhausted. When I find women in this condition I have only one word of counsel. I commend them (and myself when I reach this state) to the place that is always waiting within reach: Our place of peace and rest, our place at the foot of the Cross.
Your Heavenly Father, in his divine, wisdom, has made provision for you for such a time as this. The Cross serves as a reminder of his unending love for you. Know that you may retire there any time for any reason, and stay until your spirit is restored. Keep the picture of this place in your mind and heart and commend it to others that they can be reminded that wives are not without resources even in times of deep despair. Find peace and rest as you come to your place.
