Keep in mind that they've seen me up and down, prayed for me daily since May and that my H's lies continue. I am at a loss as to what to do to be honest, so maybe using my own will as God's? Right now, today, my H wants nothing to do with me.</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Hi, MOM,
I will pray for your faith to be increased.....
I certainly don't know what God's will is for your M, I only know that we can learn that from Him only. NO ONE else can know it for you, either. I would advise you NOT to "seek counsel" in many places. That's the beauty of our Heavenly Father....He delights to speak to us PERSONALLY!! <p>I love that about our God. He's not so all-powerful that He never has time for us small, insignificant humans. In fact, Jesus said that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without God's knowledge and approval, so how could WE not matter so much more to Him? But, there is also a catch!! (Why does there always have to be a "BUT"???) [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] God DOES expect US to "seek His face, follow Him, obey His commands, be faithful to believe, and above all Love One Another." Hmmm, doesn't sound all THAT difficult.....<p>One of the first things (to get closer to God) that I did when my H moved out was to throw my self on the ground on my face (almost literally) and repent of my sins in my M (there were many) and then get into God's Word. Again, I was all alone. We hadn't gone to church in a very long time, so I didn't have any particular place to go. I DID go to church that next Sunday (and every Sunday since then), but in my "alone" time, I just read and read God's Word. It was during this time alone with God that He revealed His Will to me regarding my M. Again I say NONE of us can know it for anyone else....I don't believe your church friends can know it for YOU, either! Only God can speak about this...it's such a personal issue. However, I believe after my prayers of what I should do, and what was going to happen, God led me to this site to SHOW ME that my M CAN be saved!!! I had gone to About.com and they have a discussion forum on Divorce, etc. and that was such a NEGATIVE experience!! I just would leave there (after all the marriage BASHING) just more depressed than ever!! I think it was God telling me that wasn't the place for me.....well, there was ONE person on there who mentioned this site. I came here, and the first thing I read was: "Can one person save a M? YES!!" That did it for me!! I was on to this site and NEVER went back to the other one!! Since then, other sites have been recommended from here, such as RejoiceMinistries.org, and Restorem.com (I think that's a .com). They both are Christian ministries to help put M's back together and both believe it is NEVER God's will for a M to divorce!! I believe that was God speaking TO ME!!! I believe (after reading so many miraculous stories from there) that God can do this!!! I'm praying for a miracle.....I TELL EVERYONE THAT GOD IS GOING TO DO A MIRACLE IN MY MARRIAGE....I have to believe it......how else will God get the glory when He does it? <p> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr><strong>Anyway, I really wanted to thank you for giving me such a strong lesson in true, strong faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

I humbly thank YOU for your kind words. I hope that we can continue to hold each other up, and I will pray for your H as well as your walk with the Lord!! I'm really NOT that strong in my faith, just getting better at it every day, as God allows, but I appreciate hearing that someone is blessed by my words and thoughts. <p>I listen to Joyce Meyer every morning now....she is ONE STRONG SPEAKER!! If you haven't heard of her, do yourself a favor and find her show in your area and watch her....give yourself about a week. She takes some getting used to, but she speaks truth about our walk with God. It's amazing!! Her show is called, "Life In the Word."
