Today, for some reason, has been a hard day for me. I haven't had a hard day like this in awhile because my husband has been around a lot and his attitude has even been seeming to improve some. But today, well I guess it started a few days ago, I just can't get out of my head. I can't stop hurting or crying. I keep thinking that he's only being like this because in his mind he thinks we're like "friends with benefits". Which could be how he thinks but I wouldn't know because he hasn't told me. I decided to take this week to not talk to my husband so I can hear and feel God, so I can seek Him. I cried out to God and prayed tonight. I just need my strength and faith back. I know God is still moving because some dreams recently came to pass a few days ago. I just need to shake this sadness.

I understand what you're going thru, I felt the same way with my husband for a while, till one day I asked God that I needed reassurance about my situation with my husband and I found this scripture 1 Corinthians 7: 3-5
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

Thank you Erika. A few others have given me that scripture before but I have to grab ahold of it and remember it. Maybe I'll write it down so I can see it everyday.

Still in need of encouragement today. I don't feel the same as last but I still don't have total peace. I've been silently praying all day and reminding myself:
"In God's timing" "God is bigger than this" "Remember the promise He gave you in your dreams" "Have blind faith"
All morning. But I still feel anxious. I could use advice, words or wisdom, or just some encouragement. Thank you.

Reach out of your comfort zone a little....maybe get a cup of coffee and strike up a conversation. It gives us perspective by helping others...even if its just listening. Being in the storm is sometimes all consuming....but we should remember that are lots of hurting people around us.

And I might note that they are all watching how you weather your storm. ..seeing if your faith in God is really true when tested.

Thank you TK. I just feel this war waging on in my mind and spirit and I'm fighting to keep my focus on God instead of the storm. It's tiring.

Marissa fasting really helps. I really think getting to a quiet place in your prayer close and just closing your eyes and waiting will help too. The Lord hears the unspoken prayers and desires of your heart, even if you have trouble focusing
