| I discovered my husband was in adultery in December 2023 with another woman, but he was also having inappropriate conversations with another woman via phone and social media. He told me he was in love with the other woman. I moved out of the home the next day. He became very upset and said he wanted a divorce. He says that I never listened to him, I withheld sex, I was too independent, nagged and was very negative toward him. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| Lord, I have made a mess of my marital relationship. I have not put you or your will for my life first. I have sought my own will and have failed miserably. I gave my life to you at an early age but realize I’ve never had an intimate relationship with you. I have always depended on man to validate, comfort, and provide guidance to me. I so desperately seek your forgiveness and favor in restoring my marriage and having Darius return to you so that he may be whole and experience joy in knowing he has internal life. Please forgive me for the transgressions I’ve committed knowingly and unknowingly. Please show me how to cultivate and maintain a personal relationship with you. I’m weary and desperate Lord. Please guide and comfort me. |

Dear precious bride I am so sorry for the hurt you are going through.
I want to encourage you to take the Lord’s hand and move closer and closer to Him and experience His everlasting love ( https://loveatlast.org/ ) for you and our Darling Lord will be the One to turn your husband’s heart.
“The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.” P21:1
I want to encourage you to please start with the course Finding the Abundant Life – https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/ to really build on an intimate relationship with our Darling Lord while you leave your marriage in our Darling Lord’s hand’s, because nothing is impossible for our Darling Lord, you just have to trust Him.
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” L1:37 https://biblehub.com/luke/1-37.htm
““But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” J17:7-8 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2017%3A7-8&version=NIV
Dear precious bride I am excited to think, soon you will come and share testimonies with us.
Dearest bride, I know what you are going through is incredibly painful and difficult, I’ve been there, but I want to assure you there is hope although your situation might seem impossible. I saw that you already read the Restore Your marriage book and as the title says: “How GOD CAN..” because nothing is impossible with GOD.
I agree with Janine, embrace this season to draw closer to the Lord as your First Love, this crisis is about more than your marriage, it is about your relationship with the Lord. Let your situation go into the loving hands of the Lord so HE can act on your behalf.
Since you are Facing Divorce, I would like to encourage you to start doing the Facing Divorce course to face the divorce unafraid: https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/.
It is filled with powerful principles to apply right now that can turn your situation around.
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope’” (Jer. 29:11)
Dear Bride,
I am so sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. I too have been in a similar situation. But I know that with God anything is possible. As the other ladies said, use this time to draw near to your First Love. He will heal you and make you into a new woman. I know that you said you read, How God Can Restore Your Marriage. I would encourage you to go through the first course and begin journaling all your thoughts to Him. It will help heal and be something to look back on at all the blessings that He brings to your life. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ ”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
Psalms 37:4 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.37.4.NLT
Dear Precious Bride l agree and confirm what Adina shared. Right now it may seem that your life and marriage is falling apart but its about way MORE than your marriage its about the Lord trying to get your attention to develop a close intimate relationship with you.
As your draw closer to the Lord you will be amazed at how your situation will change and even as He shows you more and more biblical truths as you dig out and search for the truth.
I also agree with Adina please start doing out Facing Divorce course especially if you feel a lot of fear, you will be amazed at how you can face divorce unafraid and how the Lord will turn the situation around as you start learning many biblical truths related to your situation right now. I encourage you don’t delay 🙏
