I received divorce papers 4 days before Christmas. My daughters and I couldn't talk my wife out of ruining the holiday. I haven't signed the papers yet. Eventually, the divorce will be granted by way of default. I'm still under the same roof with her and my stepdaughters. I was dragged far from home, leaving my career and city I knew for a chance at reconciling and ended up unemployed and in debt. I have no friends and family nearby. She's arm twisting by offering to let me stay a couple of months till I can afford to move, but only if I sign the papers. My truck broke down back in April and I've been using her second car. She's controlling when and where I can drive. Indiana says marital property is 50/50, but if I argue she'll move to get me out sooner. Wants me to leave with nothing but my clothes and dog. I'm working but deep in debt due to 14 months of unemployment after moving here and having to max credit cards to survive, due to only help from her being the roof over my head. Her career has soared but she seperated our finances once she started getting succesful. She recently told me she married me because her kids needed a daddy, but she didn't really want a husband because she'd divorced 6 months before dating me. Waited nearly 11 years before telling me this. She's partying. Talking about dating. All this, and I'm still in denial that it's ending. Still praying there's a way to save this marriage, but wonder if that makes me a faithful believer in God's power, or a fool too blind and weak to move on. I want to stay near my girls, who I've been with since they were a 3yr old, and a 7 month old. Im the only dad they've known, but no stepparent rights exist. Do I move a thousand miles back home before I have to hear about her and another man? Do I fight for financial survival? I've lost 12 pounds with no appetite. I cant sleep. I can't focus. Can't get this out of my head. I feel like I'm losing everything. I feel broken. Please pray for strength of mind, body and soul to survive this very dark period of my life.
Stand in Christ friend! Would He abandon any one of His children at any time? Isn't marriage supposed to be until death do us part?
This helped me when I wanted to end it all because my wife filed to divorce me. I learned to pray and be a man and not just any man but a man of God that takes no thought for his life and let's God take thought for me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.
Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
