Humble Prayer Partner
I have been standing on faith for a while for many things. For my marriage, our kids, health and finances, our families and friends... so many things. In so many ways it seems as if nothing has happened, nothing has changed.
I am still awaiting the money to be able to have my much needed surgery, but the pain has become bearable, so I can work again while I save up the money, and I still have FMLA time to cover the days off I'll need for the surgery. I am thankful for my job and to know God has covered this area.
Still dealing with marital issues and separation, and really missing my husband. I still have no idea how or when we will get past this and our marriage be restored, but I feel such peace about things. Every time I pray about my marriage and family to ask for guidance on if I should just give up or continue to wait for God's timing to restore what He has given us, to heal what needs healing: I find myself feeling so at peace I can't describe it and I start thanking God for blessing us with our love, with His love, with our kids.. all of it. I find myself thinking of things my husband and I will do as a couple to avoid this ever happening again, to avoid taking each other for granted. I find myself looking into things for all of us to do as a family and things we can do with the kids one-on-one so they all get some quality time just one of us and one of them. I find myself thinking of the things to do around the house that we need to do together, I see us spending time together and talking, having family time and couple time... I am so very thankful that God not only loves me enough to bless me with my family, but that He loves me enough to use this separation to show me the little things I was taking for granted, the things I need(ed) to forgive, the blessings I was not even fully aware of. It seems weird to be thankful for being separated from my husband, but I can see the good He is working with each prayer, even if things might seem to be stalled to anyone else outside our marriage and my walk with God.
There doesn't seem to have been any real changes in terms of finances or the needed employment and responsibility taking for A, but the sense of urgency isn't there any more. I feel that something is in the works and only God knows His plan right now. I am thankful for the job prospects for A and the ways we (family) have been led to help him.
I would appreciate continued prayer on these matters, along with a sharing of the praise I have for the little blessings I am now aware of and the peace I am given about these issues with each prayer.
Thank you. May God bless you and your loved ones with His unwavering love. And may He grant you His perfect peace.
