Hey all,

Wife said after 11 years she is done. Although we both trust in Christ as Lord and Savior, she has said she is out. This leaves me and our 2 children devastated.
Joined to gain encouragement from my fellow Christians, as no doubt some have been down this road. So tough...

Steve

Welcome to CC. You may want to start a thread in the Family forum. That's where many other divorce threads are.

I pray for the Lord's peace to fall upon you and your family specially your children in Jesus Name. I pray that you feel His loving presence upon you and that it brings comfort and healing in your heart. Nothing is impossible for God. Claim your marriage from the grip of the enemy.

Give your burdens to Jesus and find rest in Him. I believe HE can restore your marriage and take it to levels you have never seen before. I pray for a change in the atmosphere. for the Lord to cover your children. . Lord let your healing power fall upon this family in JESUS NAME. Lord I bind all that the enemy has thrown at this family and cast it in to the pits of hell in the name of Jesus. Lord I pray for the power of the BLOOD OF JESUS TO REST IN THIS MARRAIGE, FAMILY, THEIR MINDS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE NAME OF JESUS. WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE VICTORY AND THAT YOU HAVE CONQUERED IT ALL. GOD MEND THE BROKEN PIECES AND PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER IN JESUS NAME.

As I have said before.. I am much less lonely know than I was when I was married. Sometimes relationships get in the way of the Only relationship that is eternal. Now is the time for you to call upon the Lord with all your heart and soul. Do not waste this opportunity to know the Lord, take your refuge in the Almighty. Glorious and Mighty is he. Praise the Lord. Make your path straight with him and everything else will fall into place. It hurts horribly bad but you decide how much effort you put into your misery. Where will your priorities lead you?

Believe me, you are not alone going through this situation. Hopefully, you will be given encouragement and understanding from the other members of this site. I went down the road that you are currently traveling many years ago. I agree with you that it can be devastating especially when children are involved. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.

I my name is Maria, just wanted to let you I just wanted to let you know that I feel the same, im sorry but your not alone. I keep praying every moment of my days to keep my spirit alive. I wish I had the right words to tell you the Is with us. We're just being test to see we run to run, I keep grabbing his robe when I shut my eyes so I can keep myself strong. And to tell myself everything is going to be alright because I know that the enemy love to watch us fall hard and I just don't want to give him the pleasure of destroying me. I don't know if you'll ever see this message but I dwill have you in prayers. I also pray that you have moved on just with yourself somewhat. God be with you
