Question: "My husband is my life, yet he is involved in an adulterous relationship. I am consumed with pain and unable to read the Bible or pray. How can I reconnect with God mentally and emotionally? I need Him desperately."
Answer: God sees your heartache and understands your pain.
– He alone knows the precise depth of your feelings and the exact number of your tears.
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”
(PSALM 56:8 NLT)
– He is with you, continuously thinking of you, and attending to you even when you do not feel His presence.
“How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand-when I awake, I am still with you.”
(PSALM 139:17-18)
– He understands the gruesome grip of grief and the terrible throws of betrayal you are experiencing. But whenever you are reeling and spinning out of control, stop for a moment and remember that the God who loves you with His life is holding you firm and secure no matter how you may be feeling. He will never leave you nor forsake you…
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
(DEUTERONOMY 31:8)
God wants you to lean into Him. Yield your will to His will and let Jesus take control of your life. As a Christian, Jesus Christ is your life. Make Him the foundation of your life, and He will provide you with emotional and spiritual stability.
Here are a few ideas to get you headed that direction:
– Infuse your life with praise music and the spoken Word of God.
– Journal your thoughts and feelings to God, your loving heavenly Father.
– Ask a few friends to call or come by to pray over you and read Scripture with you.
Remember: Today is not forever. In time, God’s Spirit and His Word will bring healing to your hurting soul. In the meantime, claim the promise that …
“Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.”
(PSALM 126:5)
