Reconciliation

[ms-sparkle]

Please pray for me and my husband John, we separated in October after a very bad 2 year marriage, but recently have really been seeking the Lord over a reconciliation and that my husband's heart would be softened towards God as he is not a Christian.
I have repented of marrying outside of God's will and learning to forgive myself.

My heart goes out to you for your heartbreak of a broken marriage! It is good that you are seeking the Lord, because He is faithful and loving and will never forsake His children, especially when they suffer!!
Here's a few of my favorite scripture passages when I need the Lord's strength and comfort :

Psalms55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Joshua1:9 Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.


Philippians 4:19
"But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ"

Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and the are safe"

Ephesians 3: 20-21


Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Isaiah 40:31
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

I am praying for you that your husband's heart does get softened and that the Lord rescues him from his unbelief. I have seen God repair very bad marriages, and nothing is impossible for him!! He loves you exceedingly and only wants the best for you!


Having said that, you need to pray to God to reveal His will for you in this. And perhaps find some good Christian marriage counseling.

Father God, we know that through your Son we are more than conquerors and can do all things through Him who strengthens us. You are merciful and kind-hearted towards us, loving us with a love that is beyond our comprehension.
I ask Lord, that you comfort and shower your peace upon ms-sparkle. Wipe her tears and hold her tightly in your powerful arms, giving her the strength to get through this trial. Holy Spirit, encourage and empower her to lean on your strength and constantly remind her that she will never be forsaken or alone. Lord Jesus, all power, honor, glory and praise to you, the God who heals and gives us grace that is more than sufficient for us!!
Keep and sustain ms-sparkle in your loving care and bless her in her time of struggle and attend to all her needs. In Jesus' name we give you thanks. Amen!

i will pray for you to do Gods will, however it would be nice if you clarify something for me. you have repented of marrying outside Gods will, yet you seek reconciliation? I know this is probably a hard time for you and i am not trying to make it more difficult for you, and maybe i am missing something, but if its wrong and you repented why are you trying to return to being outside of Gods will? There is scriptures to say not to marry unbelievers and there are scriptures that say if you do marry an unbeliever and they leave to let them go and that your not bound to them(i think about the being bound part dont hold me to that search scriptures) I wont say to return or stay away from your partner. I definitly think the accepting the Lord for your partner is a good thing to pray for. like i said i wont say to return or stay. i will say to seek god and listen to my story.
once upon a time i was sad for a love. i was so sad i was going to hang myself when she left me. i prayed and cryed for one and a half years for God to send her back. when i was tying the noose to a rafter in the celing the holy spirit laid me flat on my back with so much peace. i felt better than any "high" i had ever gotten on any drug. and i have done every drug known to man in massive quanities. at that time i hadnt had hands laid on me. i began speaking in tounges and i got an interpretation too. "my love my love where have you gone? my Love you have gone away from me" i kept saying. other stuff too but i will keep that under my hat. later i recieved this story: an old reclusive woman was gathering fire wood in the forest one winter that was exceptionaly cold. she heard a sound coming from the bushes in the distance. she went to investigate. it was a bird with a broken wing half frozen in the snow. it couldnt fly south for the winter. she knew it would die with out help. so she took the bird home and mended its wing. later the wing healed. spring came and one morning she was awakened by a tapping on the window. the woman began to weep because she knew her friend was going to go away. her only friend she had living in the woods. she opened the window and out it flew. she was very sad. summer spring and winter came and went. but again one spring morning, the next year she was awakened to a tapping on her window. it was the bird. she opened the window and it flew in and flew around. in years to come another bird would show up and even little birds too.
morale of the story: If you love something let it go. If it comes back to you it was always yours. if not, it was never yours.

time will tell you what is or isnt Gods will on this matter. seek His face.

Thank you Peace seeker and eddieb for your prayers, words of encouragement and support.

eddieb- to clarify the situation. I married John when I was desparately seeking love from human contact and not strongly in connection with God. Before we married John was coming along to church with me and apparently made a commitment at an evening service, I saw that God had touched John. I went ahead and married him on the understanding that a commitment had been made to the Lord and that the Lord would continue the work that He had started in John's heart.
Like I said we had a very bad 2years of marriage due to the verbal abuse I received from John, mainly concerning me being 'born again'.
Which then continued into personal attacks on me and my beliefs.

I know the Lord can change John's heart and I am seeking
reconciliation on the understanding that John gives his life to the Lord first in repentance, and seeks salvation through the blood of Jesus.

I have no intention of returning to a marriage that is so divided, and I wouldn't return without the Lord's guideance.
I still love my husband and I can see a good man under his outward hardness, someone that is hurting badly from heartache and painful experiences of life.
I ask for your continue prayers in this situation.
Thank you again for your interest and concern.
