I can relate to this feeling. My own experience has been when I look up scriptures because I'm searching for an answer, at those moments I feel more interested. I also feel more connected to my prayers when I pray because I'm concerned about something or want to confess something I feel guilty about.

Sorry to take so long to reply. I've done some more research since then and am wondering if maybe that article meant expressions like "Good night" are inappropriate as an interjection to show exasperation like "Good grief!" The other thing I wonder is if it could be using the Lord's name in vain if you're saying that God give them a good night when you don't really mean it. Sort of like saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes but you're just saying it out of habit, not hoping they'll be blessed.

Lately I've been doing research to determine what words/phrases I need to avoid because they are cursing, using the Lord's name in vain, profanity etc. I came across a couple articles which say the word "good" is using His name in vain. One article in particular says that this is a euphemism for God and phrases like "Good-night" or even "goodness me" are sinful to use. Now I'm worrying about every time I use the word "good." Is is wrong to say things like "Those pancakes look good" or "He is a good boyfriend?"

I was wondering about this myself. For example, if I see a beautiful home and really like it and hope to own it someday, is this coveting or a sin in any way?

I don't know what is possible with your disability, but volunteering might help. There are so many ways one can help, from creating backpacks of food for poor children to answering phones for help lines. If that isn't an option, perhaps joining other in-person groups or taking up some new hobbies may help.

Are you thinking over your relationship in the morning? If so it might help to write down some uplifting things (like things you are thankful for, favorite Bible verses etc) and read them in when you get up. If not, maybe try listening to cheerful songs or going for a jog in the morning. Help this helps.

If your wife would be open to it, I would suggest talking to a pastor about your marriage problems before seeking divorce. I'd also suggest finding activities you enjoy to take your mind off the stress of your situation. Whether it be taking up drawing, playing football, reading novels you never had the chance to read etc.. My family has gone through many hard financial situation and problems with relationships and I've definitely found having something else to focus on was the only thing that kept me from getting severely depressed. I wish you the best!
