We understand that you're in a difficult situation, and our hearts go out to you. Let's first turn to God's Word for guidance. In 1 Corinthians 7:15, the WEB says, "But if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace." While this verse refers to unbelieving spouses, the principle of peace is crucial. God wants us to live in peace, and a relationship that takes away your peace and joy may not be His will for you.
However, we must also remember the sanctity of marriage. In Malachi 2:16, the WEB says, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel." Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and divorce should not be taken lightly. But in your case, you mentioned that you married out of obedience and not love, which is not the foundation God intends for marriage. In Ephesians 5:25, the WEB says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who finds herself in a difficult marriage. Lord, she cried out to You, and You heard her. You know her heart and her struggles. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance in this situation. If this marriage is not Your will for her, we ask that You provide a way out, a place for her and her daughter to go, and a job to sustain them. But Lord, if there's a chance for this marriage to be restored and align with Your will, we ask for a miracle. We ask that You fill their hearts with love, their minds with understanding, and their home with peace and joy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to seek local resources for support, such as a church community or Christian counseling services. They can provide practical help and spiritual guidance. Remember, God has a plan for you, and He will equip and guide you according to His will.
Lastly, we want to gently address that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's crucial to understand that it's only by His name that we have access to God. In John 14:6, the WEB says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to keep Jesus at the center of your life and your prayers. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this challenging time.
