Need a little hope.

The God'll get ya thing is OT thinking. God is merciful. At worst God will allow a situation that will bring her to her knees so that she turns to Him. God doesn't grind our ex-spouses into dust to get even for their bad behaviour... God loves them too. He wants all of us to be in saving relationship with Him. If they repent of their sins, He is faithful to forgive them.

Our attitude is to be one of forgiveness. We should pray blessings on our exes. Asking God to draw them closer to Himself and for our own healing.

Its not only OT thinking, vengence is the Lords. He will take vengence on those.. his mercy is great, but there is an end and no amount of this or that will stop it. while i agree with what you wrote, i tend to know Gods vengence is slow but it willl happen..

So anyway, I still love her and she's indifferent to me. I'm depressed and lonely and she's happy and loving life. Any attempt to wake her up to what she is doing and her spiritual need for Christ results in anger and insults. I pray constantly that God will break through to her, but honestly, what will He do if she just refuses to listen? Is there any hope? I know I'm going to hear "Just pick yourself up and move on," and "She's not worth it," and "quit being so pathetic and weak and just get over her," from some people, but what I'd really like to hear is something that gives me hope. I can't imagine that I will ever stop loving her, and as we have 4 kids I'm always going to be in her life, so am I doomed to spend my life loving someone who doesn't care? This is the path of my thoughts after the sun goes down every night.

well God may have hardend her heart for a time.. who knows, Gods ways are mysterious.. but all things work for Gods Glory. He will make a way were there seems to be no way..

to note i know the feeling of some of you, and if i ever got told that i would let her go.. wouldnt want her too, i love her too much..

This is a spiritual battle, not just a marriage one. My pastor preached on spiritual battles last month. It was a powerful series. I'm sorry to hear your struggles, but know that God will get you through it and you'll be a stronger person. I've seen it myself. My dad didn't want a divorce, but my mom did. It was difficult for him, but he became closer to God and it made him a better person. I can understand the loneliness as many of us can, and I can't say it's easy, but I'm getting through it and don't feel as lonely as I used to.

Take care.
