Dear Bride, I love that you stay thankful no matter the circumstances. That’s so hard to do but so necessary. We recognize God is our source and surrender completely to Him because only He can change hearts.
The verse came to my mind when I read your post is this – “Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,” 1 Peter 3:1
Stand firm in your faith but submit like the Word says and let God fight your battles.
Since you were here before, I would recommend you go back to some of the free lessons on RMI that speak to you and revisit some of the principles. After all, we need to renew our mind. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
Dear bride, so sorry for what you have to go through again. I agree with what Elda shared about revisiting the courses like A Wise Woman to renew your mind (https://hopeatlast.com/c3/).
I would also like to encourage you to do the Abundant Life Courses (https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/). On my own journey I found it very difficult to live out the principles, mainly because I tried in the flesh. Once I found my First Love, my Heavenly Husband, and He filled my heart with His everlasting love, living out the principles became easy because it flowed from experiencing and being filled up with His love.
Whatever our marital status, we all need our First Love, because He is the only one that can fill all the voids in our hearts. Once we are filled with His love, we can love others the way He loves us and draw them to want what we have.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3
Dear precious sister, l agree with Adina and Gioia’s comments above. What immediately came to mind that l also wanted to share is the Wise Woman C3 as Adina suggested. And to renew your mind as Gioia commented. Especially on the C3 lesson “Won Without a Word” https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-10-chapter-5-won-without-a-word/. It is so freeing to let go by winning without a word and leaving your eh in the Lords hands. He is faithful and trustworthy.
