I am trying so hard "hear" God

Posted by: abandonedwife
I am a 29 year old stay at home mother of 2. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. We are both born again but out of the will of God. Our marriage has been tormented from the start. We have seperated and gotten back together several times, each time we seperated there was a "reason" behind it. Something had always gone wrong and there was a fight that resulted in a seperation.We have been back together for almost a year now, until about a month ago I was under the impression that we were doing well. Then he dropped the bomb again, he now claims that he is not in love with me and that he can not get over the past and he will be moving out. My first reaction (like most) was complete devestation, then I realized that I was not in control of this and I turned it over to God. My focus has now been moved to restoring my relationship with God. I know that is the only way to weather this storm. The problem that I am having is that when this first started I felt so much pain and conviction, I prayed almost constantly for grace and strength and wisdom about what to say to my husband and what not to say or do. Wednesday night we went to dinner as a family and all desire that I had for him was gone. I looked across the table at him and thought "why do I care if he leaves" and I could not and still can not find the answer to that. I love him and I am determined to uphold my vows and my obligation to my family, I am concerned about the face that my feelings changed so drastically so fast. I have noticed that for the last 2 days I have not prayed like I did in the begenning and I find myself avoiding praying about it when I feel that tug on my heart. I asked God for peace and strength, but somehow this is not what I expected. What is stopping me? I dont think that my distant feelings are a result of answered prayer. Please pray for me and restoration of my marriage and that God will move my in the direction I need to go according to his will. Please pray that whatever is hardening my heart will be removed.

My arms reach out to hold you
the on going pain and alienation of off and on rejection
does something to you....hurts...damages...hardens...yet causes fragility
a feeling of brokenness...
you haven't given up...
and you know that in the midst of everything you know
God is the answer
Jesus is the only answer for our lives
the way to eternal life.
You say you are born again.
I get the impression you both have not made church
part of your "regular" life.
I would tell to get back to church
Do you have a spirit filled church that you can get connected with.
You need to have that spiritual nourishment, to lift you.
I want you to have others around you to mentor you.
I want you to have people to care about you and help you stay strong
Jesus
Bless my sister to stay strong
heal her heart and mind
Heal her relationship with her spouse
I pray her husband forgive her completely.
I pray he quit using the past as an excuse for his own failures
to be a committed loving husband who protects his wife
Lord you can heal this
Lord bless this wife to get back to church
Bless her to recommit her life to you.
Draw her to you for not only this bad time but for the future good times.
I pray for the children who see their parents being torn apart.
God heal them
Amen

Press On
PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 Weymouth
13 ...one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past and
stretching forward to what lies in front of me,
14 with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize
of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.
Believers face many difficulties. Trials. Adversaries. Doubts.
At times we're all tempted to quit. The struggle seems too
much, and we wonder if it's worth it to continue, to hold on to
our faith when there seems to be no hope left.
But there is a goal -- supremely worthwhile: life with our
wonderful Lord. Not just existence, but intimate fellowship.
Fix your eyes on the goal -- God Himself -- and press on!
1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 NIV
9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Please read the following verses slowly and thoughtfully.
1 PETER 5:7-10 NCV
7 Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.
8 Control yourselves and be careful! The devil, your enemy,
goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to eat.
9 Refuse to give in to him, by standing strong in your faith.
You know that your Christian family all over the world is
having the same kinds of suffering.
10 And after you suffer for a short time, God, who gives all
grace, will make everything right. He will make you strong and
support you and keep you from falling. He called you to share
in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever.
Space does not permit much comment on these verses, but notice
that suffering is caused by your enemy, the devil, and its
purpose is to attack your faith.
Also notice that God only allows you to suffer a short time.
"But," you say, "it's already been a long time."
Not really. It seems like a long time when you are going
through trials, but afterward seems like a short time. Even a
few years is nothing when you look back on it. Ask God to help
you see things from Heaven's perspective.
"But why does God allow me to suffer at all?"
Because people make wrong choices. Conflict causes suffering.
But God believes in you! Why should He yank you out of the
arena? God believes that with His grace and help, you will
overcome and experience victory.
The end result is what really counts. God will make everything
turn out alright. (Read verse 10 again.)
Maybe you feel like your faith is barely hanging by a thread.
Just hang on. With God holding the thread -- and He is -- your
faith will survive. You will make it! God will help you.
SAY THIS: I will press on with God. I will not quit or give up
on my faith.
God bless you and you in my prayers
Be strong it is well with you Amen?

Psa 27:1 Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?
Psa 27:2 When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
Psa 27:3 Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.
Psa 27:4 One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.
Psa 27:5 For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.
Psa 27:6 And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.
Psa 27:7 O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
Psa 27:8 When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
Psa 27:9 Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
Psa 27:11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
Psa 27:12 Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
Psa 27:13 I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
amen Lord Jesus?
Yours in Christ Marcelline??
