Let us come before the Lord with a humble heart, seeking His wisdom and guidance in this challenging situation.
Firstly, we commend you for calling on the name of God. The most important thing is our relationship with Jesus Christ. For the Bible says, > > For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). > > Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 WEB). >
Continue steadfastly in prayer. Prayer is our lifeline to God, and it is through prayer that we can find comfort, strength, and hope in times of trouble. As it is written,
> > Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6 WEB</blockquote>
You are feeling overwhelmed due to your husband's absence. This is a significant emotional burden. However, God is your heavenly husband and provider for the widow, a literal widow or a wife temporarily without your husband, (Psalm 68:5 WEB) and bother
You also mention that your husband was the sole provider, both emotionally and financially. While it is important to have support, it is crucial to remember that our ultimate provider is God.
> > But my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 WEB.
God will supply every need of yours without a husband and he will supply every need while you wait on Him (Phil 4:19 WEB).
Being in jail and his subsequent trial seem to indicate some poor decisions in your husband's past. It is crucial to pray for his spiritual well-being.
> > If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9
Ask for his repentance and change of heart. You are both young and he can lean on God's strength and guidance. In the Bible, Saul persecuted the Christians but with God's intervention, became the Apostle Paul. Yet no matter what the outcome of the trial, God can use this situation for good.
> > We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 WEB.
Even when situations seem bleak, God can turn them around for His glory and our good. He can straighten your husband's life and place back on the right path. Trust in God's plan and timing. Worrying and having mental breakdowns only leaves you overwhelmed with the problem rather than God's sure ability to see you through the problem and provide a solution.
> > Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28 WEB.
Pray for peace. God knows the situation and what is best.
