Dear bride
Im so grateful you are seeking wisdom in this season of your life. If you have not please purchase the book How God can and will save your marriage, it has been a huge blessing for my own life. As I was a pharisee and beyond double minded. In my journey I sought out so many ‘things’ to say or do. when really it was my heart that needed changed. Letting go, was a lesson I had to read and reread. letting go not only in action but I mind and heart. (https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d15-the-freedom-of-letting-go/)
As you diligently seek God (SG) please pray about starting here. This is course 1 (https://hopeatlast.com/c1/)
Recall James 15
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

I did purchase the book and just finished reading it. I am going to go through the courses now and reread the book. This has been so extremely hard. Letting go has been difficult- some days I do better than others.
I know the situation you are facing feels very frustrating, but with the Lord, there is always hope! He knows what you’re going through and He’s working all things together for your good. This is an opportunity for you to grow closer to Him.
My eh and I have been together 26 years and have 3 children. When my husband left he told me he loved me but wasn’t “in-love” with me anymore and he filed for divorce. I was devastated. The night before the first court date (I wasn’t planning on attending) my husband came and spent the night and slept through the hearing.
God can restore your marriage, even if you’re the only one pursuing restoration. Just be still and give all your concerns to Him. Here’s a lesson to help you understand about letting go of your earthly husband: https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d15-the-freedom-of-letting-go/.
Start the courses, journal and focus on your relationship with the Lord and allow Him to heal you first. This will help you when your marriage is restored. It’s been much harder since my husband has returned to stay focused and keep the Lord first. (https://loveatlast.org/hhm/).
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.” Ps3418
Dear Bride, when situation arises, we often ask ourselves “what can I do to make things happen/go the way I want it to go”? I was there, relying on my own efforts, attempting to make the marriage work. Then I failed miserably and finally turned to the Lord, realizing it had to be His way.
I encourage you to lay down your will and seek His. “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
Please consider journal this lesson –

The moment I realize how much I am loved is the very moment I could surrender to the Lord in everything I do.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
