Hello,

I am a 50+ year old christian woman, and my husband is leaving me and moving to another country.

For the last decade I became very depressed and I didn't build any relationships, I don't have any friends. I pushed everyone away in my life including my children and family. I didn't work because of depression, and I don't have any social security savings at all for retirement, nor any money. I am scared, I don't know where I will live and too depressed to get a job.

I would love to make a few friends on here if possible, (I'm not trying to pick up on men). Please pray for me PLEASE.. I feel so alone!

You're not alone. I'm praying for you.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10

I just read: Gospel of John 8:29 Jesus saying

29 The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”

It can be difficult to stay focused on our mission, our sense of being sent here for a reason.

I know it is a struggle for me.

Additionally you can pray for that peace yourself, that the Holy Spirit will come along side and calm you. I just lost my wife after 47 years married back in Dec to a sudden heart attack and I can't count the times I've prayed that prayer and it brought calm very quickly. But you have to trust that He will be faithful to do it.

Welcome to the forum !!

We will!

Also, each day pray the deeply necessary prayer Christ gave for all of us to use each day:

9“This, then, is how you should pray:

“ ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’

Matthew 6 NIV

God bless you, and welcome to CF.

God is so faithful If We Will Trust Him. We may not be able to trust man so well but we can trust God.
Isaiah 41:10-13

New International Version

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 “All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

Welcome once again !

Hello @God4Life77, have you called your pastor and talked to him about all that you are going through right now? If not, I'd recommend doing so as soon as you can (my pastor is the first person I call when I have a problem that seems too big to handle).

Our pastors (the Lord's undershepherds) are tasked by Him with keeping a close watch over our souls .. e.g. Hebrews 13:17, and as such, they are great at giving us guidance, godly counsel/comfort. And once you've talked to him, he'll also have a better/more specific idea about how to pray for you too.

Praying for you!

God bless you! (Numbers 6:24-26)

--David
p.s. - I should also say, WELCOME TO CF :wave:

@bèlla does hold some good advice for you to start on a path to recovery from your problems and a better hope for the future, I think, Miss God4Life. In any event, I am sure that most of our pm boxes will be open for you if you wish to talk things out, even if just to listen and let you cry on our shoulder if you need to. Will be praying that your daily life gets better than this and that God will be with you all the while, as I know it must be a very tough and fearful time for you right now.

My mother was a housewife and didn't have much of an income but got SSI based upon my father's income. It was less than his but was money never the less. If he is leaving you then perhaps you should file for divorce based upon abandonment and/or adultery and get a settlement based upon his holdings and retirement income.
I would see a lawyer for advice you may be able to get free legal help assistance perhaps.

Social Security offers a divorced spouse benefit. @Sophrosyne made me recall it with his comment. :)

Social Security's Divorced Spouse Benefits is federally funded and administered by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA). These benefits are paid to divorced
spouses of workers who are receiving (or are eligible to receive) Social Security benefits.

Who is eligible for Social Security Divorced Spouse Benefits?

In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must meet the following requirements:
  • Be at least 62 years old and not currently married.
  • Be divorced from a person who receives Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
  • Have been married to that person for at least 10 years before the date the divorce became final.
  • Not be entitled an equal or higher retirement or disability benefits.
If you would like to find out if you may be eligible for any of Social Security's benefit programs, use SSA’s Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool.

Once you have completed the eligibility screening questionnaire, you will be provided with a list of benefits for which you may be eligible. Print the list for your records before going to the application site.
