| My H left our home August 2021. Neither of has filed for divorce. I've been standing for our marriage and family and our home. My husband told me back in 2020 that he felt controlled by me. At another time he told me that he had worked very hard for us. June 2023, he asked me what I thought about our relationship. I told him I was listening to God and standing in the gap for our marriage and family. He said "what if I never come back." I didn't say anything. During this last 3 years I've been working on me drawing closer to God. I've also started taking care of myself better. I've apologized to God and my husband for all the pain and suffering I have caused with my control and disrespect. I've changed myself first be a dignified woman as God would want me to be with everyone. July 2023, husband told our children that he had a girlfriend in an indirect way. December 2023, in conversation with my husband, through my pushing, he said there was someone else and our children knew about her. Yet, he also confessed he was wrong for leaving us and causing all that was going on. I had already been praying for God to remove the Strange Woman from my husband's life. February 2024, my husband told my son that they had parted ways. He was going to come over more to gain trust. My son shared this with me openly. My husband pops up ever once in awhile. He still has access to our home and can come and go as he pleases. God hasn't showed me otherwise. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| Lord, I come to you, because I know you are the ONLY one who knows all my pain and suffering as well as my husband's and our children. I've been standing on your Word that says " whatever God has joined let nothing asunder." I believe in my heart you have united me and my husband in marriage. I ask that you would heal my heart from any unforgiveness towards myself, my husband and my children. I also ask that you would intervene in our situation with our former pastors and the congregation. You Blessed us with this property and we would love to continue to live here. I decree and declare that you will open doors for them with a property that suits their needs. I pray for my husband to come first to you and rededicate his life to you. I pray that He would surrender to you and come back to you and then us, his family. I pray that you would continue sending ministering angels to remind Him that you love him. I know that you are a God of restoration, healing, and salvation. I know that you are a God that can move mightily. |
| In order for us to minister more effectively to you, please check what concerns apply to you: |
| Thankfully I have no other concerns other than my relationship at this time. |
| Finally, please choose how you would like us to conduct your Marriage Evaluation from the choices below. |

Dear Bride,
I am sorry to hear of the pain you are experiencing. This is not easy to experience, but there is a great reward for those who endure until the end. I too was separated from my EH and there was another woman. It hurt a lot, but I was able to spend alone time with Him and tell him all my feelings. I began to read His Word, journal, pray, and praise. Things began to change. My heart was healed and made new. I would encourage you to let go and focus completely on His Love. Begin the lessons offered and make it a time where you really get to know Him. https://hopeatlast.com/c2/
Soon you will see only His Face and nothing else will really matter. He will make you into a new woman and when you are ready He alone will make everything fall into place.
