Dear Lovely Bride,
I know that the pain you are experiencing is very difficult. I too, was separated from my EH and divorce was mentioned multiple times. However, God did the impossible and restored my marriage. I would encourage you to begin reading the RYM book. This is where I begin to understand His principles and Love for me. Journaling along helps to express your feelings to Him and later to look back at your testimony. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ Know that He loves you so very much and has allowed this for your good. Let Him fight this battle for you.
“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.””
Exodus 14:14 NLT

”Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.“
Psalms 34:5 NLT

Dear Bride, you are not alone – many of us have made mistakes but remember the Lord is our redeemer. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and [a]prudence,” Ephesians 1:7-8
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
One thing that really helps me stay focused on the Lord is getting into God’s words every day. If you don’t know where to start, the following link will help –

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Dear Precious Sister, from wat you shared you may feel that you messed things up, l cannot tell you how many times l felt this way. What l learned is that our dear precious Lord holds nothing against us and that his grace is sufficient for us. He can turn any situation around just like He did in my marriage struggles that seemed impossible but was not for Him.
Like Elda l want to encourage you to start by reading the How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage book you can read chapter 1 here https://hopeatlast.com/c1/d1-chapter-1-my-beloved/ and also speak to the Lord about our Marriage Minister Course that is based on this book too https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ this is where many of us started and where things started turning around for us 🙌
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
