thank you for sharing your own heartache and struggles; oh how I wish the Lord would restore to His people all that the enemy has stollen....In Jesus name!.

My heart aches for you Jean, being a single parent has got to be one of the hardest jobs there could ever be. I will most certainly pray for you Dear One, blessings on you..x0.

Selina. (a.k.a Lillian).

Lillian, in a divorce there is a three-fold pain: Rejection, unwarranted guilt and the two flesh that were joined as one, now being torn apart.

I pray for the pain you are now experiencing.

God our Maker, we recall Your promise this day, Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Come to Lillian and see her through these days of affliction and confusion. Let her call upon Your name as Husband, upon the name of the Holy Spirit as Comforter and upon the name of Jesus as Wonderful Counselor to get through these days that lay ahead.

May it please You, Lord God, to guide her, keep her, favor her, bless her, and sustain her faith. Remind her often, that nothing can separate her from Your Love. May she experience that Love as she heals in the days ahead. Amen

Hello, Lillian Rose. My prayers and best wishes. It is always painful, but for those who believed their marriage was faith-based, it can be doubly painful. Don't feel as if you have 'failed'. God loves you and knows you have tried your best. He asks for one man and one woman to try their best...to love each other and remain together. But, He understands when it is sometimes not possible. Marriage is supposed to be a joy and a help to both,..not a torment. God does not want us tormented in this life.

I am so sorry for your pain lillian and I join Editor in prayer for you. I also think the advice given about finances is very good. Bless you dear one.

I've read some of the comments, and I am surprised I didn't find one that suggested reconciliation. This is truly sad when we value marriage so little that it is easier to leave than to stay and work things out.

In my 30 years, I've learned that marriage is all about giving. You give 110% or more when the situation requires. It's not about the woman submitting to the man, it's both husband and wife submitting to each other in a spirit of humility and love, filling each other's needs.

My prayers are for your situation.

Thank you so, so, so, so, SO, so, much! I agree about fighting (standing) for reconciliation. I believe in covenant keeping, but sadly, my pastor husband is dead set against even a legal separation. He wants the divorce immediately, no questions asked, and in his eyes (mind), no separation optional. There's no infidelity at all on my part, but I'm beginning to questions his. I covet your prayers, and again, can't thank you enough.
