Your Story:

Uncertainty

Thinking Back

• How did your first experience of living with a partner come about?

• How did you find or choose your first home with your partner?

Thinking Inward

• Did you have any worries or fears about what life would be like as you started living together?

• How were decisions about life choices made now that you were living as partners? Did you feel a sense of peace in your first home together?

Thinking Outward

• Did your relationships with family members or friends change as your living situation changed? Did they provide any support for you?

• Did life expenses or joined finances transition smoothly or create conflict? Did you receive any guidance around joint finances?

Thinking Forward

• As you look around your home today, does it reflect influences of the past, or is your home an indication of future goals and plans?

• What is your greatest hope for your living situation in the future?

Write a Prayer: Commit your concerns and your desires for your living situation to God and ask Him for His blessing in your home.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know the intimate thoughts, concerns, and regrets of every reader. You see and understand the sadness or pain that may be there due to complex issues of relationships and living situations. I pray, dear Lord, that You would comfort and heal all sorrow or wounds that this reflection may bring up. I pray over the homes that they live in, and I ask for Your peace and Your presence to prevail. As we envision our next home, we pray that every room will be “filled with rare and beautiful treasures” of knowledge that comes from You.

In Your name, amen.

“By wisdom a house is built,

and through understanding it is established;

through knowledge its rooms are filled

with rare and beautiful treasures.”

Proverbs 24:3–4
