I have been going through a difficult time with my ex-husband for a while now. We were trying to reconcile but I became afraid and backed away. Now he has met someone new and in five months they have become engaged.
He says that he has never been in love like this before and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. I don’t begrudge him his happiness, but I’m so heartbroken that I can hardly function. I’m so hurt. I just want peace.
We have a teenage daughter so he’s always around, and it makes it hard for me to move on. How can I be at peace with everything? I’m so tired of hurting.
Why were you seperated from your husband? Are you a Christian? You know, the Lord says that He heals the broken hearted. I know I’m a stranger to you, but if you feel you just need some encouragement I’m just an email away:)
I feel your pain sister, my wife keft me about a year ago. It really hurts, but I just gave it all to God and he slowly giving me the peace that i’ve been praying for. Don’t give up sister, stay strong in your faith and the Lord will give you the peace you need. I’ll be praying for you. God bless you. See please pray for my marriage, thats my testimony.
Zoe, I was young and spoiled, wanting a fairy tale marriage. I never invited God into my marriage and never sought Him for answers and comfort, too caught up in my own misery. Now that I’m older, I see the error of my ways, but it’s too late. I’m trusting that the Lord will still heal my broken heart and help me to find peace with everything.
I fell you, i haven’t been in the exact situation but your story is significant, i pray it will be a testimony one day, and i believe it will. there’s no hole to deep, that god isn’t deeper still. Through your suffering just pray that jesus gets some of the glory,
amen
Thank you all for your prayers. I will continue to pray for peace and acceptance.
Dear diamondgirl,
I have passed through a phase in my life where I was seperated from my husband for two months. I am an Indian and seperation for a woman still holds a very bad stigma socially. “It” doesnt happen to us who live a very traditional and orthodox life. I dont want to go into details, but I just want to say that it was through this worst storm in my life that I came to know the peace that passeth all understanding and the key to that was just praying and proclaiming the word. When depression hits and you dont feel like praying or dont get the words to pray, just pick up the bible and randomly start reading out His word loudly. The devil gets us when we are the most lonely and weak. Proclaiming the Lords word is the sword from which he will flee. For example…my favorite is from 2Chronicles 20:15 , the Battle is the Lords….where you can say, Lord, this battle is yours…not mine.
another one: The one within me is stronger than the one in the world says 1 John 4:4. You dont have to know which scripture to quote…just read the word aloud, and apply your own name in relation to it. Its Gods Living Word, you can apply it in whatever sense the Holy spirit reveals to you. The best book I have is the one by Derek Prince “The Power of Proclamation” . Buy it to jumpstart your strength in the Lord. Remember as long as there is flesh there will be suffering…but in our weakness His strength is made perfect. I will pray for you and He will strengthen YOu. Your husband is YOUR husband…if the Lord wills He can and will restore you ….we belive with our hearts what the eyes cannot see…God bless you sister….In Christ…Mary
Romans 8:37, we are more than Conquerers Through HIM who loved us…amen.Praise to Jesus!
Check out rejoiceministries.org. The answer is to totally depend on the Lord. God heals hurting marriages!
diamond girl,
i can only imagine your pain and the best advice i can give you is to praise the lord through your pain. Job said “The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. Praise be to the Lord. This will not stop your pain but only see you through. Plus i havr read the lord puts us under circumstances that require patience in oder to make us more Christ like, loving and forgiving. And the greastest gift you can give you daughter right now is showing her the Christian way to handle unpleasing circumstances that come about in life. I hope the best for you my friend.
Your relationship with the Lord is more important. The Lord can heal a broken heart, just trust him. Forgive that man that you were once married to. Pray for him, and Keep trusting the Lord. He will help you get through this.
God bless.
God restored my marriage, we were separated for 2 years and we both have found someone else but it was the wrong person for both of us, the devil wanted to trick us and destroy my marriage but I prayed and fasted and God changed his heart and we got back together after 2 years and now we’re together and loving each other like never before. Pray to God to put love for you into his heart and restore your marriage. Have faith and don’t give up. God doesn’t want devorce. God also restored my sisters marriage which was a disaster. God is amazing!
