| My husband and I have been married for over 10 years, together for 11. We have been separated since the end of April 2023. It has been a very difficult marriage, both of us are very broken. I had a daughter that was one when we started dating, from a previous relationship. My husband had two daughters when we met from a previous relationship as well. My husband started to become very hard on my daughter as time passed. It got to the point where I just couldn't keep quiet about it. I had prayed and prayed, but was not living in obedience as a wife in my own life. I also wasn't a very good, godly mother either. It ended when my husband and I got into a huge argument, he was screaming at me and throwing things and told me to either send my daughter to her dads, or he Is divorcing me, so I told him to divorce me. I also got an order of protection from him and forced him out of the house that way. I regret doing that to be honest, but was highly encouraged by a Christian friend to do so. No one in my church encouraged restoration for us, and no one seemed to really care what I was going through. I have since let it go though, since I know God has always been there for me every step of the way, and I do like my church home. I am the one who asked for a divorce many, many times. After being separated from my husband for six months, I got into a relationship with another man, and that broke my husbands heart. He hates me at this point, and has called me an adulteress many times, and is now seeing another women he used to date in Jr. High. My heart is crushed, but after finding your resources, I am standing in faith and I know and believe God has called me to STAND for my marriage! |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| God I need YOU! My heart will not survive without you! You are my Heavenly Husband, though I have never truly viewed you as such! I am praying for healing and restoration! I have gotten out of the way, so that you can work! You receive all the glory during this season in my life, and I will give you all the glory when my marriage is restored! Please heal my heart Lord! Please help me to walk in peace and continue to trust you along the path to restoration with my EH. Heal the relationship between me and my husband, along with all my children. May my husband trust me again, and forgive me, amen! My heart is completley yours Lord! I will be obedient to anything you tell me to do, amen! |

Dear Bride, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I would like to share the following verse with you: “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2019%3A26&version=NIV;KJV;NKJV;ESV
I want to share a powerful testimony with you that will encourage you that nothing is impossible with God, no matter what your current situation: https://hopeatlast.com/c1/d18-chapter-14-first-to-throw-a-stone/it-was-me/
Since you’ve read the Restore Your Marriage book, I would like to encourage you to start with Course 2: https://hopeatlast.com/c2/. Please read through each lesson prayerfully, then pour out your heart to the Lord in the journal form at the bottom of each lesson.
Focus on your relationship with the Lord during this difficult season and make Him your First Love. Surrender your situation in His hands, be still and let HIM fight for you.
“Fear not, for you will not be put to shame
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the shame of your youth,
And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
“For your Husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts; And your Redeemer is called the God of all the earth.
“’For the Lord has called you, Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife when she is rejected,’ Says your God.” Isaiah 54
Proverbs 14-15
So the word that the Lord has for you.
God is not accusing you but just telling you that our homes are being destroyed by our own hands.
Don’t be discouraged in this fight
14 A wise woman builds her house, and a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

Ne vous découragé pas dans ce combat
14 La femme sage bâtit sa maison, Et la femme insensée la renverse de ses propres mains.

Dear Bride, you are not alone. Many of us who sought restoration made mistakes that we regretted. It took God’s words to wake me up and know that “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6)
While Adina has covered so many valuable resources, I just want to encourage you to get into the words. If you don’t know where to start, please see the following link –
https://encouragingwomen.org/psalms-proverbs/
By getting into the words everyday, you commit yourself into knowing the Lord and His will for your life. “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
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
