Please pray for my 2 wonderful teenage boys' and I. My husband of 17 years left for another woman and is currently living with her in another state. He doesn't see his boys' very often. After 2 years of separation we are getting a divorce. I have a difficult time with it because I believe in family and I don't believe in divorce;however, this is out of my hands. I hurt for my boys'. I believe God has a purpose and a plan for all things. Please pray for whatever fills your heart when you read this. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated. I love you all

I will keep you lifted up in my prayers. Keep the faith. Be strong for your boys. God Bless you for asking for Prayer. ODIE

Dear Hope, i have prayed for you.

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Things do not necessarily resolve immediately, and at least now you know what your exhusband wants and you can go in your own direction that the Lord will lead you. I already find it you are tremendously blessed that your boys have been able to handle things this well so far. But i hope you still have or can find father figures for them, whether through your church or close family members or even caring friends.

I just want to encourage you to take the Lord as your husband now. Cling to Him for grace and comfort, truly let Him hold you when you are so troubled within. And though things are going so wrong, this is the time you need to blindly trust in Jesus. This is what i do when things are just unbearable, i hold Him with all my being (though i myself have a husband), and in my mind and heart determine to trust Him blindly, because otherwise i would be angry at Him.... and i have been there and done that and realized that that is not the best way to handle the trial.

Thank you so much for the prayers. It really means the world to me and my boys'

Land-of-Fire,
Your kind words are greatly appreciated. I am having trouble trusting the Lord blindly. I am anxious to see the light at the end of this long arduous tunnel that my boys' and I have been traveling. However, I do know that the Lord will reveal something amazingly wonderful for all of us but it will be revealed in His time and not mine. Patience is not one of my strong qualities.

Hope, Patience is a virtue that is hard for me also. God has allowed my to go thru some hard places in my life, to strengthen my faith and trust in Him. And if I did not learn what God was trying to tell me, I would have to go thru it again. He did this until I got it right. Sometimes He would have to hit me over the head to get my attention. I want God to move sometimes Yesterday. I would not wait for Him. We can't get ahead of His moving in the situation. God Bless you for asking for Prayer. ODIE

Odiear3rd, thank you and I agree. If we don't see what God is trying to tell the first time it will continue to happen until we get it right. I, too, need a thump on the head sometimes before I see. I do need to wait upon Him and trust Him and know that He will guide me. My favorite bible verse is trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Proverbs
