Bible Note: Hi, dr01871! I am glad that your hope and faith is on the Lord! I wish that I could give a simple answer to your problems... but I am confident that you will do the right thing (whether remaining in the marriage or not); my greatest concern is for your (the whole family) spiritual happiness... I will pray for you--hoping to gain God's mercy and quick resolve... You mentioned that lately you find yourself getting closer to the Lord... please continue on this path, remember that He is stronger in you when you are weakest! I suggest that, if not doing yet, you begin a prayer group with your children and close relatives and friends... if they are not aware of the problems you are facing, you do not need to expose yourself or your family... simply as for support in creating a prayer group to ask God for Divine Intervention (don't forget to reciprocate as your relatives and friends may also have need of a special prayer group!)... If you have access to counseling in your church, please take advantage of it (as long as you feel comfortable with the person/s offering the service). Technical: Keep a journal of your experience (even if you destroy the pages as you add new material); sometimes writing things down allows us to have a different perspective (much clearer at times) of what is going on (much is said/done in the heat of battle); it could also help you gauge any incidence of abuse (verbal, emotional, physical)... you may combine the journal with the prayer group: by placing, either the original or a copy, the written record into an envelope you can present the sealed envelope to God during your prayer session... it can be an emotional/spiritual cathartic experience. God Bless! Angel |
