I know we all have a hard time giving things over to God. When Chris moved out I just knew it was over. Then I finally have Chris and this situation to Him. I've had mostly peace since. The devil will let you see text or have your prodigal drive you crazy. Do listen and release it all over to our Abba Father that cares. Visualize it. Today Chris said that he has been thinking how bad he treated me and he misses me and CJ. He knows he can't come back right away. I ask how serious he is and he said that he would be willing to go to counseling. I told him I don't want us to mess up again and I don't want CJ going through that. I am afraid to trust right now. Chris was such a lier and lies to cover lies. I don't know. I keep giving this to God. Praying for all of us.

Wendy,
I have been up praying for our group and will pray for your situation. What I have done when something comes up & I feel that it is a "big" decision I tell Allison , I don't know I have to pray about it. That way after submitting thru prayer then reflect on what God lays on me I can hear & make His clear choice. Keep submitting sister Gods working.

Wendy....small steps are good. If he's thinking about hurt he caused....that's the beginning of a repentance heart. And counseling is also something to praise, because he's willing now to change. I understand your reluctance, but know this....it won't be perfect. ...you both will mess up again in the restoration process....that's human nature. You already know what will sustain you. ...God. Your faith and your stand is steadfast. William is right....stay in prayer. And be careful with the enemy. Remember he is a master....he may try to throw a new ball into an old game to redirect your focus. Luv ya girl! Stay strong.

I am also having a hard time with giving God my pain and trusting in him as the future is so blurry right now. I know in my heart if my husband said he was ready to go to counseling and save our marriage rather than finishing out with the divorce papers, I would do it in a heartbeat. My sister is in similar shoes but he hasn't tried to save their marriage. I know my niece really wants her parents to be together. I know my sister would try if he were ready to try. I know it's a hard decision, but there is always hope. I pray that God guides you in this decision for what's best for your whole family.

I wish I could give you awesome advice but you all know how many times I left and came back because I was hearing what I wanted to hear. You have to pray and listen to what God tells you, but I do agree with tk that there is repentance in those words. Just because he is turning around and recognizing he did wrong, doesn't mean he won't turn away and hurt you all again either, but you can communicate Gods love while he is turned towards you, so the world will look less appealing.
