Hello LeeJamir. Welcome to Christian Chat, and I hope you come to feel welcome here.
I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Yet, at the same time, I give thanks that God has put in you a strong desire to know him more.
Jam 1:3 — Jam 1:4
for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Hi Leejamir, My heart goes out to you. I understand your grief. I am a 65 year old widow. My husband died March 24, 1999.I was 39 years old and I had 6 kids to finish raising without him. You are much wiser than I was at the time though, because it took me 2 years to really reach out to Jesus. You are indeed looking to the right One for grace and peace. It is a journey though. It takes time for love to grow and that is what this is about. Relationship is the key. Allow me walk you through my journey a little bit and see if this is what you are looking for and if this helps you.
After much wrestling with God over the loss of my husband, He showed me two Bible verses: Jeremiah 33:3 invited me to call to Him and promised He would answer me and that He would show me great and mighty things that I didn't yet know. Jeremiah 29:11 told me that He had plans for me that were good and that they included hope and a future. You know how those verses resounded in my heart. I was like you: I needed Someone to call to Who would listen and answer. I needed might because I felt so weak. I needed a hope and a future, because I felt that my future had died with my husband. I'll bet you are experiencing those same feelings. If so, let me tell you what I did.
I began to search and study the Scriptures for anything that God had said about families, widows, and the fatherless. I wanted to know how to run my home with God truly as the Husband, Father, and Head of the home. It sounds like that is what you want too. I was determined to do this and He gave me understanding. When I read Deuteronomy Chapter 6, in verses 4-6, I was told to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. The understanding that He gave me was that my heart was not like that. I did not love Him more than anything and I had to do this in order for Him to be all the things that He promised in my home. I needed to love Him like I had loved my husband to have a Husband/wife relationship with Him. As I continued reading, I saw Deuteronomy 30:6 in which He promised to circumcise my heart to make me love Him with all my heart. Not only did He promise to do this for me, but for my descendants. I wanted this so much. I think that is what you are asking for too. He will do it for you. If this is what you desire and ask for, He will help you to make Him the center of your heart and life.
That was my starting point. I know there is much more than this. There is the loss of a physical presence and that kind of love and support. You don't have a father to love your daughter with you and discuss her, her upbringing and her future. There is such grief to walk through. There may be financial problems. You will find that God takes care of all of these and more. He really is Who He says He is, and does what He promises He will do. You are about to enter a relationship that you never dreamed was possible. That doesn't mean that all days will be good and that there won't be problems, but He really does give you "beauty for ashes and joy for mourning."
If you want someone to talk to who has been through what you are going through and has found Jesus faithful, message me. I would be so honored to walk with you through this. I will pray for you and your little girl. What is her name please? God bless you and give you the desire of your heart.
