Dear, I have felt the same way. My husband and I have been restored 2x. The first time He said he loved me but wasn’t “in love” with me anymore and left, the second time I told him to leave. I was full of pain, sadness & bitterness. It’s hard and tiring just know that the Lord hates divorce but has all the control and with Him ALL things are possible.
I know that you are praying for your husband to come home, but most of the time God takes our loved ones away for a while to bring us closer to Him. He wants to be first in your life. Only He knows what is best for you. I encourage you to keep praying and seeking Him. He will give you strength and peace.

“Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect.” R12:2
I also want to encourage you to please start with Course 1 – https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ and to pour out your heart in the journals. 💕
Dear Bride,
I am so sorry to hear of the pain that you are experiencing. I too, had my EH leave while we were married. He came and left about 6 different times over the course of 2 1/2 years before finally returning home. By His Grace, I found this ministry and was able to fully surround myself with His Word and all the resources provided. I would encourage you to not give up and let Him fight your battles for you. Take this time to discover who your First Love is. https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d22-heavenly-husband/ Speak to Him, share your hurts, desires, dreams, anything and everything. He will soon mend your broken heart and restore hope back into you. Trust that He sees and hears you. He loves you very much.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.””
Exodus 14:14 NIV

Take” delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“

Dear Bride, thank you for sharing your heart here. Please know that RMI is safe place for you. I remember I used to be so scared of being alone but I now look forward to the time alone because I get to spend that time with the Lord. Staying in His words and listening, really listening to what He has to say about your circumstance and abide in His love. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” John 15:9
Hope and Elda have shared some wonderful lessons for your journal so I just want to encourage you to get into the words daily. If you don’t know where to start –
