Hello,

I am new to this site. I am a 26 yr. old mother of two girls, 4 and a half and an 8 month old.

I am in the process of seriously considering a seperation from my husband. Although I have been an adventist for quite some time now my spiritual relationship has been dwindling and my knowledge is not the greatest. I know that there is nothing that can't fix, but I am tired of feeling like a single parent and my husband plugging when he's ready.

I am just asking that you pray for me, for an answer from God that I'm doing the right thing. I am so scared and confused and I know that I am not turning to my Father enough, especially seeing that I need Him so much. Perhaps I am afraid the answer He has for me is something I don't want to hear, or that He's just taking too long. Whatever the case, please pray that the answer will be clear to me. Thank you.

Hi Giselle

I will pray for you, that your course of action will become clear but also - and perhaps more importantly - that you can come to feel close to God again.

Blessings

Nan

Praying that you will have such a close communion with Him that HIS will ... will be very clear to you. As I am sure you know ... there will be no easy answers. And if you turn to the Bible for specific answers ... you can find scripture to support whatever idea you are inclined towards.

So, I will just pray that you become SO close to your Father ... that HIS will becomes YOUR will because of the close connection that you have.

Praying. And by the way ... you are doing the right thing by sharing your burden with God and lifting it up to Him.

Keep us informed of the blessings of God that are coming your way in this regard.

Folks on this board do not have enough information to advise. This person should by all means find someone she can trust to counsel with. And unless she is being abused she should not let religion destroy her marriage.

I like that very much, and I agree that this happens!

You don't believe that you can hear God, now...do you? What makes you think that He's stopped talkin'? What makes you think that He ain't yellin and you ain't hearing Him?

Well.....?

So, Let me ask you a question...what is it gonna take for you to hear Him?

I don't think some castastrophe is the answer, Nor some big decision without His counsel...nor a big upheaval, either physical nor emotional is gonna make you be able to listen to Him....

'Cus, Girl...He's been talking to you....You just ain't able to hear Him....

So, what's it gonna take for you to hear Him?

I sugest that you concider what it's gonna take for YOU to listen...Remove the extranious noise, put the kids to bed...Tell the husband that it's time for you to listen to the quiet. Turn off the TV and the radio.....Don't be listening to the cars in the background...nor the children playing in the street...Put the rushing traffic out of your mind and listen....Listen......listen.....Listen to what God has to say....

Neil, thank you for that knock in the head, so to speak. You are right, maybe I wasn't listening. I might have been fearing His answer.

However, my prayers have been answered and I heard Him tell me to just talk to my man. And that's what I did. We have still a rocky road ahead, but we are committed to one another and we're going to make it work. Thank you all and PRAISE GOD!!
