I'm in BIG need of prayer.. my husband sent me this message and I'm just so broken I don't know what to do or say...
Ok so you left and went to Tennessee and may not come back. Alright thats fantastic. Happy for you but you better bring your ass back to Mississippi and sign these damn divorce papers I have spent 250 dollars to have drawn up. If I have to drive to Tennessee to get you I will but I want my divorce. I'm filling next week and you are going to sign them or I'm going to set your dress on fire and film it and put it on Facebook then I'm putting everything out there. I'm ready to be single and you are like a chain around my neck. Why can't you give me one thing I want? In four years you never gave me unless I begged for it and most of the time I paid for it. Give me the divorce. I want nothing from you but paperwork saying we are not together.

As soon as I read this I started praying for you. I don't have any advice except to take this to God in prayer. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you and guide you through this. In my situation, I felt that God wanted me to sign the paperwork. I am not saying this is your situation, as I don't know, but God does. I will continue to keep you in my prayers, sister.

I am so so sorry Lindsey...
I know this hurts you so much..
I would ignore that text & pray about it for a few days.. Maybe a week or so..
Find it in you to praise God during this time. The enemy is working in our spouse. This is not the man that God made him to be, & has already predestined him to be.. It will happen. Don't give up! Reading his message it just sits so clearly with me that this is very typical prodigal spouse behaivor.
As hard as it can be in times like this.. Put your full faith & trust into the Lord.
Each time you have a thought about your husband that brings anxiety, say NO out load & praise God for somthing instead. The enemy is who is behind your husbands behaivor, & when we refuse to let it ruin us & praise God & trust Jesus instead, the enemy flees from us & his power is weak.
I've been doing this & it works wonders, & Christs strength & peace have been ever with me.
I'm lifting you & your marriage up tonight sister

Thank you Eric and Mary for your prayers. I told him I would sign the papers if that's what he wanted me to do. I've begged and pleaded with him before to try to work this out and he just gets mean. I'm tired and I don't have that fight left in me anymore.

Wow Lindsey....the tone and words he used are so hurtful. I agree with Mary and Eric. ...you have to give it to the lord. Satan is attacking you and him right now. Make sure to "command" satan to depart from you, home, your family, your home, your marriage. When you pray this, make sure you command this to happen by the blood of Jesus Christ. I'm praying for your, guidance, wisdom and peace

Thank you TK, yes he's being so hateful and mean right now and it hurts. I'm so mentally exhausted but I'm giving this to God. I don't know what else to do anymore.

Completely agree with tk
We have authority over satan & his spirits. We have to cast them out daily in the name of our Lord Jesus

Praying for you Lindsey. I can imagine how incredibly hurtful this must be. The others are right: it's time to go even deeper into prayer. And remember that this is NOT your husband, it's the enemy working through him... I will be praying extra for you.

Thank you Adrienne, it's very hard. I've cried all night, got angry at God, and almost was ready to just accept that this could be the end of my stand, but then I prayed about it and I feel peace and I feel like God is telling me to hold on. As a "new" Christian sometimes I get confused, wondering if I'm not understanding what I'm really supposed to be doing. So sometimes I wonder, do I stand or do I give up. I know God is for marriage though and I feel deep down in my soul that Andy is my soulmate. But he's so mean right now, I don't get it.

Lindsey it's okay to give up in the sense of not focusing on Andy and "moving on" by focusing on God. Standing sometimes means not holding onto your spouse but being available when they are transformed by the Lord. You can't change Andy and holding him emotionally is obviously going to drive you down, so give him over to God. Give him his divorce, but hold your vows. He is your husband even if he has his divorce. But don't let the emotions remain. It will be easier to rekindle the love down the line if it's not laced in anger and bitterness, so just give him up to God. The Lord says that he will bless the things that we entrust to Him. Step out in faith sister knowing that God has a plan for this and that He will keep his promises. Also, I know it's hard sometimes to know if this is God speaking to you or your own desires, but put it through the filter. Is this word you are receiving good and pure? Has it been confirmed to you in several ways or at several times? Is it a still small voice speaking when you don't expect it? That is the Lord. He only speaks truth. His plans are only good. He is always trust worthy. He will go out of His way to help you believe by confirming his truth again and again.

I'm so sorry Lindsey. He is being very hateful right now but I agree with everyone else, pray until you have peace and guidance. Follow the Lord's lead, whatever that may be for you. I wish I had advice but even after being on the receiving end of hateful words all I could do was pray and ask for prayers. Keep holding onto God. I'll keep praying for you.

Hey Sharon, thank you for your prayers. I'm doing ok, kind of on edge, nervous and scared. I'm trying to push out those thoughts and pray but it's very hard.

Your not alone Lindsey
Taking our thoughts captive to Christ & staying completely humble before Him can be so hard during times like these, but we can do it!!
