The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

Hi,

It's exhausting to talk about the reason I need prayer. I don't even know if it's appropriate to share it all. What I will say is that my husband left us on November 8th. I have 2 daughters who are not his. I am unable to find work, I'm scared. I'm tired. And I have no one to turn to as my husband is active-duty military and I don't know anyone where we're stationed. My husband has an attorney and is attempting to evict me and my daughters from our home. I have no access to money anymore, have no idea where my husband is living and I am just so tired. I can't say enough how absolutely exhausted I am.

There's so much, I don't know where to begin. All I know is that I walked away from Christ, I know He's trying to get my attention, and I want to be obedient, but I don't know how anymore.

Thank you.

Sweety first off you are loved even if you don't feel it. I promise you God is there!!!

Second as your husband is active duty you're first call to be to his first shirt (not sure if he's air force but this is what we call the first sergeant) or the base chaplain...there are rules and regulations concerning this behavior for active duty military members. You have rights as a dependent of an active duty member and the base chaplain should be your first call - both for spiritual support and legal support, the help is there for you I promise!!!!

I will keep you in my prayers - feel free to email or pm me anytime.

Thank you so much. I went to the chaplain and his shirt, yes, he's USAF. The shirt no longer responds to me whatsoever, the family advocate says there's nothing he can do, and the chaplain said that my husband was "abusive" and he'd keep an eye on it.

It honestly seems that God has backed me in to a corner where the only answer is Him. And I'm o.k. with that. But I try to talk to Him and I don't have words. I'm getting better, but I feel like there's some kind of huge wall and I don't know what it is or what to do to make it go away. Thank you for answering me.

The First Sargent can't change the situation and as long as your husband does his job the family situation is not the Sarg's responsibility. However, if the man is "abusive" that can be something the Chain-of-command will get involved in. I suggest you go ask the Chaplin what your legal options are. Sometimes the base legal offices will offer you some kind of assistance or at least reccomend a lawyer who is trustworthy.

Have you called home to your parents? Family support would be a great thing for you right now. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Remember the prodigal son? (Luke 15:11-24) The Father met the son and though the son had a speech the Father was ready to forgive before the son even got to the house. That is God. Speak to Him. He hears and is willing to commune with you in His mercy and grace. Go to church and just worship Him. He's there and will help you.

With my prayers for you and your daughters,
Randy

Hi Broken Glass, sometimes when God has been trying to get our attention for sometime and our response has been inconsistant with walking in faith God gives us time to prove ourselves that we are serious, at least this is what I have found.

God loves you so much, sometimes his voice is quiet and we need to slow ourselves down to hear it.

Favourite verse John 7:37-39

Thank y'all so much for your encouragement. My father has been deceased since I was a kid, and my mother has substance abuse issues. I have a little brother who is also a believer, and it's just him and I. He's here for me, but in the end, it's my responsibility to care for my children.

I know that we'll be o.k. , I just don't trust myself to hear God or interpret what He's saying to me the right way. I'm finally throwing myself at His feet and giving all of me to Him. I'm so desperate to be obedient, and so sorry it took me so long to come back to Him. I just want to know I'm doing this right.

Dear Sister in Christ

God has promised never to leave you or forsake you .... and that is comfort I have been clinging to my whole life.... all else may fail you, but God will be faithful.

When you don't have words .... I find praying the psalms is good for me .... I can always find one that says exactly what I am feeling - including screaming at God "why me?" and "what are you doing?" .....
But use your own words, words that express exactly how you feel - you don't have to hide your feelings from God (He knows anyway) .... God accepts us warts and all.

May our faithful God bless you and keep you and your children in His peace .... my prayers are with you also.

in Christ

Dinah
