Hi,

My husband and I just spoke for quite some time on the phone. He has been asking me to meet with him to talk, I called to try and set it up as he'd asked me to, and he said he doesn't have time to meet but we ended up talking about a lot of stuff on the phone.

So much was discussed, I can hardly keep it all straight. A burst of talking after so many months of silence. (Except for the little bits we've just had recently and the one or two talks that had some direct conversation about our relationship.)

There were some main things that I'd really appreciate some prayer over. I'm sorry, I know I'm being a "prayer hog" lately.

The main thing is that he says God definitely told him to leave me. He believes it is not deception, but is definitely different than most Christians experience. And he says while he is enjoying all the changes he's seen in me, and he hears me that I believe God wants to restore our marriage, he has heard nothing from God that would change his course, his mind, etc. on the divorce. He says he is definitely following through on it.

It was a very good conversation. So good to have some open dialogue between us, even if the topic is the destruction of our marriage. Whenever this happens, I just pray I'm not going outside of the Lord's will for us, not behaving in opposition to what He wants. I so want to be in the center of His will for us. It is kind of scary when it is time to talk suddenly. I really lean on that verse that says not to worry about what to say when you are taken before "them", but that the Holy Spirit will give you words. Please pray that the Lord will use even my mistakes, if that is what I did. Right now though, we seem to need to have some conversations to carry us through the legalities and all that.

There's a lot of, "Okay so you are this way *now*, but it is too late", is basically the concept.

There has been no discussion of whether or not he loves me anymore. No discussion of any sort of feeling like that. Please pray that the door to that love would be opened, that he would hear the Lord speak to Him, that the Lord would indeed speak to him.

That is truly the only hope here. That the Lord will speak to him and intervene. That the Lord will turn his heart.

Jesus, please speak to this man and open his ears so he can hear You. In Your name, Amen.

Read Mathew Chapter 19 and Malachi 2:16

With love,

I have not ceased to pray for you dear sister. I am on one hand glad that he is communicating more with you and that your contacts are a bit more pleasant (even if the conversational topic isn't pleasant.)

I don't know why he would think that God told him to leave you. But really that is not imporant because that is something you can do nothing about. All you can do is stay the course and try to handle the situation by following God's leadings each and every step of the way.

I am trying to imagine the pain and stress you are under. (I think my own pain and stress makes it easier but our situations are different.) I believe that God is right there with you helping you in every second of your life. When you breath in, he is part of the air you breath in. He is filling you over and over with His love and His spirit. God wants such wonderful and good things for you. He is healing you right this very minute.

(And I don't want to hear you say again that you are a prayer "hog". You are no such thing. it is an honor to pray for you!)
