I have been wondering what to write regarding what has been so heavy of a burden for me for so long, and I believe I now know what I need prayer for the most. As a little history, I have been in an extremely difficult marriage situation for a very long time. We have been in excellent christian counseling for the last 6 months. The counseling has helped superficially some, but has mostly exposed that the situation is not going to get significantly better any time soon. I know that God specializes in the impossible, but I also know that He does not always do so in the timing that we desire.
My trouble is this: I am increasingly concerned about my own spiritual condition after such a long battle. My desire for holiness has been replaced with self-righteousness. I believe I have become bitter towards my spouse. I don't have the intense loathing for my own sin in my heart, only in my head. I know the Lord wishes me to press on with Him, and I know I can't if I don't allow this conviction of my own sin to do it's work in me. Please pray for me, that I would see the log in my eye, and that I would have the desire to take it out. I am fixated on the log in another's eye right now.
