I am so sorry for the struggles you are going through right now. I see that things are tough for you. Separation is never an easy thing. I encourage you to not give in though. Obviously Satan is trying to bring you down by throwing all of this at you and making you feel isolated. That is the way he works. I do want you to know that God is there though. He is listening. He has heard every word. I don't know if you have ever read the story in the bible about Daniel. It is found in Daniel chapter10:10-19. Daniel talks about praying for such a long time and it seemed to be to him that he was not being heard. But when he finally does hear from God, God sends him a message that He(God) had heard him the very first time he prayed. However, the message was held up by Satan and his group of angels. He then blessed Daniel with the strength to make it through. The bible even says we don't struggle against flesh and blood but against powers of this world. I encourage you to find a good church. Not every pastor is after your money, in fact most really DO care for you. Secondly, I challenge you to become involved in a ladies group somewhere. You need friends you can talk to and take your mind off of things occasionally. Lastly, I encourage you to try to speak to your husband. If you can keep the line of communication open, maybe he will see Christ in you and soften his heart a bit. If you need food, there are food pantries available just for women in your situation. If you look up "food pantry" in your area, Google will give you a list of places and locations. I also encourage you to talk with your husband about helping with food and utility costs too though. Above all though. please don't loose hope. This situation is just temporary so just focus on God and give it to Him. He knows how it is all going to come out in the end and He is the giver of all GOOD things.

I find that God allows bad things to happen not to hurt us but so we can learn from them. Maybe you're not supposed to be with your husband? Only God knows. Picture Jesus standing beside you (or sitting) with His arm around you comforting you whenever you are down and weighted by life's worries. I've been suffering for about 3 months also since I was forced out of my ex's parent's house during a visit. It hurt immensely, confused me even more because my ex and I were about to get married. I lost contact with God immediately. When I travelled for two days to get home, I sat in bed for about a week (losing about 40lbs) thinking about what to do and nothing came to me. I then turned to my friends and pastors at my church. I also continued my devotions and scripture readings. I also prayed more for relief and to deal with my anxiety. I prayed and prayed for days and no relief. Until one day, my doctor said to up my dosage of effexir. God answered my prayers through my doctor. Since then, i've been going from day to day. Still praying but on spacific things like, help me or help her or guide me or bring your will to fruition and so forth. Basically what i'm trying to say although it may be hard for a while is to live for now. Not to focus on tomorrow or "what if". That will get you nowhere. Leave it to God. Build your relationship with Him and see what comes out of that.

God Bless

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words it's good to have someone to listen to. I recieve every word and I will read Daniel. Thanks also for the advice I went today and applied for food stamps which was hard for me to do my kids are 15 and 16 and u haven't need assistance and I thank God for that. I have a church home and my pastor know some of what I'm going threw and he just called and said that he would help me and ask him he kinda got on me because I didn't come to church Sunday but it was because I didn't have gas.But God has made away. To me it's easier talking to people you don't know than people you know. But this site I have been reading and it has been encouraging to me so I am going to keep praying and asking God for strenght but thanks for the replies they meant alot

I am sorry for your struggles. I love what the other people said to you. This is a wonderful place for help and strength. God does hear you. Tell Satan to get behind you. After every storm there is a rainbow, there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud. Just keep your focus on God, in time you will over come. Just don't let Satan win this battle. Put your armor of God on each day and press on. You will be a stronger person after this storm. God Bless you. :)
