Lord your word says that your sheep know your voice and you call them. You are a Father that leaves the 99 and goes after the one. Father I pray that you would continue to pursue Rick and remind him that without you we can do nothing. Remove the scales from his eyes and ears so that he may hear you and see you. Place a hedge of protection around him for those that want to harm him and I cancel out all the schemes of the enemy in the name of Jesus, Amen. |

Dear Bride, thank you for sharing your heart here. The first thing that came to my mind is this verse – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;” Proverbs 3:5
A lot of times we are leaning on our own understanding of what the circumstance looks like and we can easily lose sight of God’s words. This is the time to press onto Him and get in His words and let those be your truth.
I am glad to know that you have started reading the restoration book and I hope it enlightens you to seek the Lord even more. There are also free lessons waiting for you to journal and share your heart with the Lord –

Lastly I want to encourage you to stay in prayers. I’ve seen the power of prayers and how it strengthened my relationship with the Lord. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Hi precious sister, your situation may seem impossible but NOTHING is impossible for God. Like Gioia said dont lean on your own understanding of your situation but as you ACKNOWLEDGE HIM He will make your paths straight and HE had a plan for your unique marriage situation.
Here is the link for the free lessons which include many testimonies of restored marriages that seemed impossible but like your “seems” impossible but was not for God. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/
Stay close to God, finish reading the book, let Him do the transformation work in you and you will see how He moves Mountains in your situation 🙌
Also for daily encouragement visit https://encouragingwomen.org/devotional/ especially our “My Beloved” devotion which will encourage you daily. It encouraged me so much on really dark days.
Dear Lovely Bride,
I am so sorry to hear how much pain you are going through. I know things seem impossible and confusing but believe all things are possible with God. I would encourage you to continue reading the RYM book and begin journaling your thoughts and feelings. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ Once I started taking all my thoughts and feelings to Him, my eyes shifted to Him alone. He loves you so much and truly wants what is best for you. Right now He wants alone time with you. Stay close to him with your thoughts and prayers and He will show you the way.
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
Psalms 37:4 NLT

”And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.“
Romans 8:28 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.8.28.NLT
”For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.“
