I am struggling with something. I have read a book about faith and healing. I want to have faith to move mountains and sometimes I feel like I have it, but my healing area is a little different. My husband wants a divorce. I know God hates divorce and I do too. (God is working on my character and I am thanking Him for my trials)my children and I are praying that there will be no divorce, and I have read what God's will is concerning marriage. what He has joined let no man separate. I have been thru this for years. for years my husband has wanted out and everytime, God let him stay. now my husband has moved out (never did that)and wants to file, but has not yet done it. can i believe that God will restore my family and no divorce will happen? I believe that He will restore, but knowing that His will is for man not to separate, am i stepping in God's way when I pray 1 John 5:14-15? do you think that others believed and a divorce happened anyhow? Do not misunderstand when i say that I do seek diligently for my Father's presence, but i am struggling so hard to find a closer relationship with my Father. Sometimes I have close communion but i seem to periodically come to this same struggle about divorce. I want my family together, that is a given and I ask God to cleanse me of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) before I come to Him so that I dont ask for his hand before His face. I just struggle with this area in my life......any thoughts?

Tomas,
I believe that it is not the will of God for any married couple to be divorced (God holds vows and covenants in the highest regard and considers them binding - even if they go against His will), so you are in the will of God to pray against this divorce and for your marriage. Now if you want it to succeed and God wants it to succeed, I'm confident that God will respond to your prayer. Just be open to God - listen to Him, and do what He tells you to do.
In the meantime, I'm sure that we will all be praying for you....

My wife and I have had similar problems. One of the most important things you can do is try to find out what's really bothering your husband. Have you tried counseling? I know a few people who have tried it (myself included), and found that it helped *immensely* to get an "unbiased" opinion.
I don't know if you want to talk about the stresses in your marriage in front of a bunch of random people on an internet chat thing, but if you do, we'll listen.

I know exactly how you feel..even tho those words may not mean alot to you right now. I was married 16 yrs ..to a man who was not a believer. But of course that wasn't the problem...it was from years of alcoholism, etc. The situation wasn't healthy not only for me but mainly the children so there had to be something done. You have to do everything you can to try and save your marriage but it takes two and I pray you find a solution soon. God is in total control and there's no words that can help you, you have to allow Him to do that but so does your husband.
Prayers....

I am praying for you Tomas.
I know you are going through a difficult time, but remember that God will be with you every step of the way no matter what happens.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Hey Tomas.Well.There is so much to be said about this subject and so many who have been there. Myself included. I have just spent a good solid hour ,weeping and praying myself,on how to help administer peace to my children,who have a broken family. Sometimes,I feel that it will never get better. Other times,I think I'm "over the hump" and it's going to be ok.Tonight,as I'm crying out to God saying,"God,I don't even have the words to say !I don't even know what to ask for right now,all I can say to you,is help me". I opened my Bible,it was face down,opened it directly to Psalm 27. Several verses in particular jumped out at me...I would like to share them with you.
Psalm 27-The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
verse 5-For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavillion:in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;he shall set me upon a rock. What this verse said to me is that"you are not alone,I am with you"
verse 6- And now shall mine head be lifted above mine enemies around me:
verse 7-Hear O lord, when I cry with my voice:have mercy also upon me,and answer me.
Pray for "Your will Father,not mine" And pray that he will continue to bless you and your life ,and the lives of your children ,no matter what choices others around you make. And if you are obedient to Him,and set your sights on Him,I believe wholeheartedly,that He will !!Pray for God to make a change in you,so that others ,including your husband will see it too.
I know that these are just words ,and that they do so little to ease the pain in your heart. I wish I could say or do more...but I will pray. For even though I do not even know your name,our father in Heaven knows exactly who I'm talkin about ! May Gods peace be with you...
Living for Him,Lori
