Hello. My name is Bruce and last month my wife Tami left and is probably never coming back. She left to check into rehab for the second time this year and has been under control of prescription drugs and alcohol for probably 3 years and the meds for 7.
I stood by her and supported her and tried to encourage her, and now her leaving me makes me feel like I was the one who was the problem.
I caught myself starting to get depressed and realized that's just what the enemy wanted, so I prayed against it.
Now I have rage and anger for her stabbing me in the back like this.
she is out of the 2 month rehab and is seeing our daughter this weekend. our youngest, 16, still does not want to see her.
I'm both praying that the hopes of her coming back is still there, but all the while trying to shut down my feelings for her fearing the inevitable.
I never hurt her, treated her bad. I can't figure out what I did wrong other than put on weight from eating when I was stressed.
I am emotionally a wreck.
Dear Jesus, I need help.

God, You are good. When we're emotionally wrecked as bruce and some others are going thru right now, please be with us. Even i do not know what to do, but You knew from the start. Forgive us when we ask but still strong willed, please just melt all hardness and sin inside. We want to trust and believe in You alone, thank you.

Father, hear the heart of our dear brother, strengthen him in the inner man. Lord, be glorified in this trial and use it to bring both people closer to you and become one with each other the way you intended it to be. Heal their hearts, bind up their wounds, and give sight in the blind areas of their lives. Thank you Lord for eternal life, amen!

God please comfort Bruce during this time of trouble. Give his wife strength to stay clean so she can rejoin her family again, stronger and healthier before. We pray for Bruce now in his time of need. Amen
