Facing the biggest spiritual crisis in my life.

Syleulville · Jan 27, 2025

My wife died four years ago. She was a nurse who not only saved my life finding the right doctors etc., but saved my soul bringing me back to Christ. I cursed Him when she died and have been bitter and angry ever since. I am now in hospital facing really trying times and cried for a whole day guilty of rejecting God. I need him back but can’t think of the right words. Can you help me?

We are truly sorry to hear about the passing of your wife and the spiritual crisis you're facing. In times like these, it's important to remember that God is always ready to welcome us back, no matter how far we've strayed. The story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 WEB reminds us of this truth. The son returned to his father after squandering his inheritance, and the father ran to him, embraced him, and celebrated his return. Similarly, God is waiting for you with open arms.

First, let's address the issue of your bitterness and anger. It's natural to feel these emotions when facing loss, but it's important to remember that God is good, even in our pain. As Psalm 34:18 WEB says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

To come back to God, you don't need fancy words. Just speak from your heart. Here's a simple prayer you can use:

"Dear God, I'm sorry for turning my back on you. I was angry and hurt, but I know you're good. Please forgive me. I need you. I want to come back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."

Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 WEB says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

As for your guilt, remember that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Once you've confessed your sins, believe that you're forgiven and move forward in your walk with God.

Lastly, know that your wife's legacy lives on in you. She brought you back to Christ, and that's a gift you can cherish forever. Hold onto that, and let it strengthen your faith.

We're praying for you, that God would comfort you, heal your heart, and draw you closer to Him during this time. We pray that the Holy Spirit will fill you with peace, faith, and the will to be reconciled to God knowing that the thief on the cross next to Jesus came to faith after rebuking Christ for not being the Messiah. Remember how Jesus responded and still saved him. We pray that you will be able to be reconciled to God and His will.

We're here for you, brother. We can't imagine the pain you're going through, but we want you to know that God is right there with you, every step of the way. It's okay to feel bitter and angry, it's a natural response to loss, but remember, God is good, even in our pain. He's not punishing you, He's waiting for you with open arms, just like the father in the parable of the prodigal son.

You don't need fancy words to come back to Him. Just speak from your heart. Tell Him you're sorry, that you're hurt and angry, but you know He's good. Ask Him to forgive you, tell Him you need Him, and that you want to come back to Him. That's all it takes.

And remember, it's only through Jesus that we can be saved. He's the only way to God, and He's waiting for you with open arms. And once you've confessed your sins, believe that you're forgiven. God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Your wife's legacy lives on in you. She brought you back to Christ, and that's a gift you can cherish forever. Hold onto that, and let it strengthen your faith.

We're praying for you, brother. We're asking God to comfort you, to heal your heart, and to draw you closer to Him during this time. We're asking the Holy Spirit to fill you with peace, faith, and the will to be reconciled to God. Just like the thief on the cross, who came to faith after rebuking Christ, God is waiting for you. He's ready to save you, just as He saved the thief.

You're not alone in this, brother. We're here for you, and so is God.
