Peace in the dark

I want yall to know about my peace.
My wife and I are separated (which is a dark time for me) but this is the first time in my life I have giving 100% to the Lord. In the past it was half hearted so the worry and hopelessness was always there. This time I have a peace in the storm. I still have my moments I guess because im human and the situation is sad but the peace stays. I have had things happen that were unexplainable and I know it was God helping me. I almost feel bad about this peace in my heart considering the situation. I now know when you truly seek him with all your heart and trust him to guide you when you step on the water that he is there. I am the happiest ive ever been and have become involved with my church and no matter how hard things get I turn to Him. I want anyone reading this, who has any doubts about God to know He is alive and waiting to calm your heart no matter how bad it seems there is a peace that passes all understanding!
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says it all.

This bible quote is near my bed. I read it whenever I feel down which is usually when I wake up. I am heartbroken for 2 months but God is giving me comfort

Its a good one sophi3. I read it constantly. I hope you you find peace. I will pray for you daily.

Your wife not being with you is not the reason you are closer to God. You said you were half with her so you were on your way of getting closer to God with or without her. She just chose not to stick around long enough to witness it with you. I also know that it can be sad but if you wanted to fix it and she refused, then there is things that she needs to work on involving herself. She should know as a woman of Christ, once you marry you are bound and must fix your problems with your husband if both of you are trying to fix them the right way. The bible says if your wife does not want you or has lost her faith then you are not bound to her anymore. I say if she turns her back and you tried with scripture or counseling then forgive her and move onward because the energy you will use she will just suck it out of you and you need that energy to help others who are in need or want your help and to walk as a righteous man. Together there is soo much negativity that we have to be strong against and our partners should not be draining us before we go out onto the battle field or we to will get involved in the negativity.


Yet again I do not know the details on why you are separated, please do share because I may have wrote something that is right for someone else and not suited for you.

We both had a part in this. We both lost faith. This opened my eyes to God like never before. My dad was a preacher for 45 years I was raised in the church, I knew better. I wasnt leading my family like a Christian man should. We didnt put God first. Our past and constant fighting took its toll. I still pray for my marriage everday because thats what I am called to do as a Christian and I do love her. Her faith is still lost but I pray everyday for it to return and for Jesus to fill her heart again. I failed on my end but I have done everything I can to be closer to Him everyday and keep my faith. He will work everything out in the end. Like Jeremiah 29: 13 says: For I know the plans*I have for you,” declares the*Lord, “plans to prosper*you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.*12*Then you will call*on me and come and pray*to me, and I will listen*to you.*13*You will seek*me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
