| Now, please tell us about your situation and why you have come to us for help and what has your husband/partner said are the main issues or problems he has with you and your relationship? |
| There has been infidelity in our marriage and my husband now doesn’t believe that he has ever had a relationship with the Lord and he was even a Pastor at one point. I believe that there is major spiritual warfare and need prayer but also encouragement to press on for His glory and for my husbands soul!! We have been married for 28 years with 4 kids. God is using it all to transform our lives and draw us closer to Him. My husband is still in the dark spiritually and I just need sisters in Christ to come around me, pray for my husband and continue to point me to our Redeemer!!! |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| God, I thank you for these woman and pray for protection over them as they share their stories, encourage others and are your hands and feet in this broken world. I pray that I too can walk along side them as their sister in Christ and glean from the ways that you have led them and redeemed their marriages and allow me to be refreshed by your stories of grace and mercy in their lives . I pray that my story can also be an encouragement of your faithfulness and love for your sons and daughters for a bigger picture than what we can see. I am blessed to call you Father! Amen |

This sounds similar to me. My husband and I have been together 26 years and have 3 boys. After reading your MEQ He reminded me how much like you I cried out for answers to why my marriage was falling apart and praying for my husband to find the Lord. I was in prayer constantly searching for answers. My heart was broken and so heavy! I want to encourage you to the many courses found here https://hopeatlast.com/c1/. Please study and then journal your thoughts.
God can restore your marriage, even if you’re the only one pursuing restoration. Just be still and give all your concerns to Him. My husband was gone for months and living with the OW. We are now restored but I am still in waiting for my husband’s salvation 💕
“God is our protection and our strength, He always helps in times of trouble. So, we will not be afraid if the earth shakes, or if the mountains fall into the sea. We will not fear even if the oceans roar and foam, or if the mountains shake at the raging sea.” Ps 46 ICB
Before my restoration the chapter from the Wise Woman Book helped me tremendously. https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-10-chapter-5-won-without-a-word/ & https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-8-chapter-3-a-gentle-and-quiet-spirit/ and chapters from the WW are in audio if you need to listen while driving, as I enjoyed.
Dear Bride, I remember going through a phrase where I asked the Lord how long it’s going to take for him to be reconciled back to Him. I was getting anxious to see things change. Soon after I let go and gave it to the Lord. After all, the Lord is the one who has the plans for all of us.
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’” declares the Lord, “’plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’. Jeremiah 29:11
It’s one of the most powerful lesson on RMI and I encourage you to journal it –

Dear Bride,
This journey isn’t easy, but it is so worth it. I found this ministry when I lost all hope that my marriage could change. My EH left me many times and lived with AW. But through His Grace, He led me to focus on Him and becoming the woman He created me to be. My marriage has been restored a couple years now. The challenges only get harder and relying on Him is what will sustain us. I would suggest journaling through the first course on https://hopeatlast.com/c1/. Take this time to experience His Love. During this time, He is able to help change your EH. Keep walking down this path and I know things will never be the same.
