Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a blessed day
This is my first time posting in this forum. I don't know where to go or who to talk to, but I am under a lot of stress right now. I am dealing with family issues, marriage issues and as a result my self esteem is at an all time low. I have 4 children ages 1,2,4 and 6. I am praying for strength to get through these tough times, but I need all the help I can get. Please pray for me/with me. I fear that I am losing my spouse to alcohol, drugs and possibly another woman. Thank you for listening
Our Dear Sister

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. We are here to love you and to pray with and for you through this.
May I share something with you?
As soon as I read your post, I smiled...
Yes, Dear One, I smiled.
I smiled because all I could think about was that 'This is an 'easy' one'. How I can say that is because it was the whisper that God placed into my 'ear', that He has already addressed this situation for you and that you will begin to see His movement and His works,
even while you are sleeping.
Prettymetty... Keep this in your heart. While you are sleeping God is speaking to your heart to be still (Psalm 46:10) and know that He is YOUR God and that you can rest and be at peace that He has taken the burden of your cares and has already begun to work on each one of them.
God wants you to 'rest'. Rest from being afraid and from being weary from all of your 'well-doing'. And Dear One, you have indeed 'done well', you have done very well indeed.
You have not failed your husband, nor your children, neither anyone else. You have not failed. The human of you can only do but so much. Your Virtue as a good wife, is indeed perfected. Your Virtue as a good mother has excelled above many. You have not failed. Do not let the infractions of what another has done, put you to blame. You have not failed.
So now just rest for indeed you have given your all and you have given your best...therefore just rest. God is healing and mending and renewing all that has been torn and broken, which includes your heart. You have been so 'let down' and yet you've taken the blame, to keep another from feeling shame.
Jesus wants you to stop wearing these cares as a 'back pack'. This is not homework for you, this is not your burden to carry and to weigh you down. It is only for you to rest, to love and to pray. For this is where your beauty evolves strong and your strength to carry on.
For all that I've shared, God backs it up with His Word:
:Rose: He's given you, His beloved 'Sweet Sleep" (Proverbs 3:24)
You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. ... If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
:Rose: The back pack burden... (Matthew 11:28-30)
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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
:Rose: Strength... (Isaiah 41:10)
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
God whispers to your heart...
My Dearest Love... I have your husband, your children and I have you... and I am never letting you go. No, not ever. For you are mine... for always.
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
...Isaiah 43:1-3
Prettymetty, it is truly going to be 'okay'. God has already 'fixed' this.
Just for you

Love,
