How to move forward?!

[allie001]

My husband and I had been together for 18 years and 6 months ago he decided that he no longer loved me! I never saw this coming! I have 2 young children and needless to say I am at such a loss! I immediatley turned to God to try and find some peace and direction. So far I feel that I've gotten nowhere! I really enjoy my church, met lots of new friends but I still feel that "something" missing...my husband! How can I move forward? I understand that every thing happens for a reason, what could this possible reason be? I've been told that God has a grand plan for me, well being alone and trying to raise 2 children without the love of my life isn't so grand! I also know that God grants everyone free will and that it was my husbands free will to leave but how can I cope?! Yes, I'm going to a counsler and have joined support groups but I just can't move forward...I feel so alone!:(

Hello allie,

Six months is not a very long time to come to terms with what you are going through. Be patient. In addition, as hard as it may be, I encourage you to pray for your husband daily that God will move in his life. I have been through divorce and I am living proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel...that light is the Lord Jesus who walks with us through all our dark times. Keep the faith. Put one foot in front of the other and let the Lord lead you forward. He is faithful.

You will be in my prayers.

I just lost my wife of 16 years. I do not have young children mine are all grown. I can't help but believe the kids will help you through this. Read 1 Cor7:15. I will help. Read it as many times and pray untill the light comes on. It really help me. There is no easy way to move on other than to give it completely to God. Once you do this you will feel the weight come off of you and you will be able to move forward. Easy, NO WAY. Keep praying and reading the word daily and it will help. Also You will have to forgive him for what he has done as that will hold you back. Good luck and God bless
