I so appreciate you replaying this one. Definitely bears repeating – especially that it’s not about me! Sigh. Thanks for all you do.

Thank you for replaying this. It’s a good reminder when we get caught up in things aren’t moving as fast as we want to. God is in control!

Things feel hard here. Waiting is hard. Especially when God keeps saying to wait and you watch you watch your husband of nearly 20 years, that you have four children with, chase the world. Divorce you and then 7 months later marry someone else that God keeps saying “she’s not his wife. This is not a marriage. I ordain marriage, man does not. Wait. Don’t stop praying.” I don’t want to get caught up in the wait. I want to wait well. This is really hard though.

Its not about me. It is His will, His time. Thank you for reminding me of that.

I’m confused as to actually how to pray for my prodigal spouse. Do we pray all day or once a day. And what to pray. My prodigal left a year ago and I’m feeling at a loss. I’m lonely as I have 3 adult children and they all live out of home now. I’m just needing guidance on how to pray and what to pray

My husband is living in the same suburb and I am living in a granny flat. I don’t have much contact as I find it so hard to see him. I feel discarded and abandoned. We have been separated for a year and it’s been the hardest time of my life. We have been together 40 years. How do I let him know I’m standing for my marriage restoration. How do I ask him for forgiveness of my actions when he left. I was angry and felt so hurt. I find it hard to message him or talk to him as he seems so at ease with his choices.

Do I just surrender the burden of my marriage and let god deal with my spouse. What do I pray to show I’m trusting God to deal with the situation.

Dear Suzi, I’m so sorry for your separation and loneliness, 40 years is a long time, it’s very painful. There is no pain like it. But I believe God has always had the restoration of your marriage in mind and his timing is absolute: ‘The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me’: Psalm 138:8.
Your husband is not at ease with his choices. Surrender your marriage to God, tell him everything you’ve so beautifully written here and make them your prayers. You can pour out your heart to God the Father, he is totally committed to you, your husband and your family. He won’t fail, he won’t.
