Clear mind again!

Yesterday the battle raging inside my head came to a climax. Yesterday afternoon the first two lines from a hymn kept coming into my mind, plowing through all of the turmoil that was going on in my head, the crazy thoughts, the ridiculous arguments..."Where will I turn for peace? Where is my solace." Along with these words came the thought, you have to have a talk with your wife. This morning I woke up at about 3:30 am knowing that I needed to Talk to Barb. I Spent a fitful 2 hours until she woke, and another 1/2 hour until I got the nerve to talk to her. 2 hours later, after eating a lot of humble pie, my head is clear. The crazy thoughts that have been rampaging are gone. The enemy is subdued and has been driven back once again. Good has over come evil in my behalf once more. I am so thankful for my wife, for her patience, and her ability to tell me what I need to hear even when I don't want to hear it. She helped me partake of the atonement this morning, helped me to accept the helping hand that Jesus Christ has extended to each of us at all times.
As I listened to the hymn Where will I Turn for Peace over and over again this morning, I was overcome with emotion. Being able to think clearly today has been wonderful! It is the first time in almost 2 months! This battle in my mind has been going on and building to the point yesterday where some of my thought patterns were starting to scare me. What happened yesterday afternoon and this morning is truly one of the Lord's tender mercies, I don't think I could have made it through another day. Barbie said that she could see the difference in my countenance this morning after our talk. I can feel the difference in my soul.
