I've been through so many difficult things in my life and my most recent difficulties have me feeling like giving up and just not trying to do anything but survive anymore. I've been dissapointed and hurt so many times. This sounds terrible I know, but this is my third marriage - my previous two husbands were verbally and emotionally abusive and one was an alcoholic. My second husband passed away when my daughter was 3. I've raised 3 of my children mostly by myself. My sons Won't have much to do with him for good reason. I'm 2 years into a new marriage with a Christian man and we have a one year old together. I thought because he was a Christian and because we both prayed about Wherher we should even get involved with each other it was finally a good relationship but at first he was verbally abusive and we separated and I had our baby on my own and have taken care of him mostly alone. We are back together and he is better and changed a lot but it has been nothing but problems and heartache for the entire time we have been married. What in the world do I do now? I'm so dissapointed with my life and feel so hopeless. I'm having some trouble with my 15 year old son too - and no help with him from anyone. It's all so overwhelming.

Sorry to keep adding but I'm also afraid my husband is going to just leave. He has threatened to at times.

Shann...When it gets overwhelming for me, I take it one minute at a time...then it's not so hard...at least I try to remember to do that...I've lived in a relationship, before I asked God into my life, that was all about drinking and partying...He was very very verbally abusive...all I wanted to do was love him and tell him the truth (it's like I confessed my whole life to him which I found out in 20/20 hindsight wasn't such a smart thing to do-he wasn't a Christian at all period) he ended up using everything I had told him about my life against me, over and over again...Eventually God led me to AA...and I even told someone that I knew casually, about Al-Anon-she started going to meetings and she said it saved her life...eventually from AA, the seed was planted...and it is really where I started service...Didn't know why I was doing it-but I was picking people up to go to the meetings...I was fixing the coffee...I was setting up the meeting room... I found The One True God...only after I hit total bottom (I was 10 months dry) and there was no way but up...I've been to that place of utter hopelessness...and almost took my own life without God...He saved me that day-only after I cried out to Him for Help!!! He is Able!!! 

 

Only after being born again...was I changed by God...and it's His Word that renews our minds...There are 3 parts of us trying to line up with God!!! Our spirit, our mind and our body...

I have found The Only Hope I Can Rely On and Trust In-Is In God!!! But it's so hard to see at first...this is a journey and we can't give up...ever!!! Not ever!!! We want to...there are times even now I go through great battles...and I've been at this a while now...the enemy is doing double time...my mind is doing double time too-if I don't keep it in check...but Who Is Greater? Greater is He Who Is IN ME...(IN ME!!!) Than he Who Is In The World...Getting my eyes on Jesus!!! Reading His Word That Tells me What Is In me!!! He saves my life over and over again!!!

 

Glad you are here and there is HOPE!!!

Thank you for sharing that!! God has given me new hope today and I can now see past the darkness. I have no idea what my husband is going to do, but I know I can trust the Lord and whatever happens I will be alright. I'm going to place all my energy and focus on Him and, remember he is my source, not my husband or anyone else. Thanks for listening and responding when I felt so defeated!

Hi Shannk , I sure will keep you in prayer , I know how hard it can be not to see that things will turn around , ,but the Lord said he will work it all out for our good . 

 

Romans 8:28 28  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
 
We don't see thing's the way that God doe's,and when we don't understand it's easy to let doubt creep in there , just know that God love's you and hear's you , he know's your struggles and for what ever reason , don't give up , keep praying , stay in his word and look ahead ,  :mgcheerful:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
