Let us begin by lifting you and your husband Todd up in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage. We acknowledge that you've made significant efforts to reconcile, even traveling a great distance to meet with him. Remember, God's Word tells us: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself." Philippians 2:3
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your guidance and intervention in momowei's marriage. We pray that You soften Todd's heart and remove any barriers to communication. Lord, we ask that You give momowei wisdom and discernment on how to proceed. In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirits of division, anger, or unforgiveness that may be at work in this situation.
momowei, it is commendable that you are committed to your marriage and have shown faithfulness even in these trying times, however, It seems that your husband Todd is not yet open to reconciliation. We need to use God's word to decide what we need to do.
We have a verse for you in Proverbs 24:21, My son, fear Yahweh and the king, Then disengage from contentions. The book of Proverbs provides wise advice for those in conflict, and we should remember that God hates divorce Malachi 2:16. When your husband asked you not to come, you needed to heed his words and honor his privacy.
The scriptures also teach in 1 Corinthians 7:12, But to the rest I, not the Lord, say, that if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not divorce her. When you received no consent, you need to examine and consider if he wants a marriage. In these circumstances, he now acts as an unbelieving spouse. You can leave the door open to him if he chooses to repent, seek forgiveness, and seek to rejoin the marriage. The threat of calling the police may warrant separate living until an understanding can be reached. The threat of secular authorities is not the loving response of a believing husband. We do not say to leave your job or relocate. It seems wise to seek professional legal counsel in your area for a way to protect yourself, your job, and your home while the two of you work out a reconciliation if possible.
God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Corinthians 10:13. If Todd chooses to be alone and divorce you, God has given you a promise of a way to endure this temptation of divorce. The church needs to hold fast to the faith of Jesus Christ to heal your heart, so that you will not succumb to the temptation of depression. If the cabin is yours and it is part of the marriage property, do not abandon your job and move out without resolving this in the proper channels. Do not put yourself at a disadvantage, and this would lead to a needy situation for you, leading to greater depression. We rebuke depression in Jesus' name. You can make this statement, I come against the spirit of depression and command you to leave in Jesus' name. Amen.
Continue to pray for Todd, that his heart may be softened and that he may be drawn to seek God's will for his life and your marriage. Stand firm in your faith and do not stray away from Jesus, as the end result is eternal life with our Heavenly Father. Stand on the Word of God and do not waiver, for we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5,6.
