| I googled marriage restoration testimonies and that is how I found out about this ministry. |
| Now, please tell us about your situation and why you have come to us for help and what has your spouse/partner said are the main issues or problems he has with you and your relationship? |
| We have been married for 9 years. For about a year and 6 months, I have been having some anxiety and fear around childbirth. It had become so extreme that I was struggling with wanting to be intimate even though I was on BC pills. I felt like I was in this constant state of anxiety and fear. I was losing weight due to the stress and really didn't have much of an appetite. So, it got to the point where he told me he could not trust me because I didn't tell him earlier on that I was afraid of giving birth or he feels that I made up reasons for not wanting to be physically intimate. I do have some unresolved childhood trauma that could be contributing to these challenges that I am facing. I recently got rid of the BC and have been trying to speak life into our situation when I do speak with him. He currently in a different state. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| Heavenly Father, first I'd like to ask for your forgiveness for my sins and to repent for not taking care of the blessing that you had given me. The pain and the agony is so great. I realize that I wasn't performing my wifely duties as you outlined in the bible due to the mental challenges that I was experiencing. I desire to remain married to my husband. I take very seriously the covenant that I made with you. I promise to do things right this time around and dedicate my marriage and my husband back to you. Father, I have been praying, and fasting and now trying to live up to your word. I ask that you soften my husbands heart towards me and that you draw him closer to you. Please strengthen him and cover him. Lord, I need you, my husband needs you, and so does our marriage. I ask you that this distance only makes up stronger. Please don't allow anything to come between this bond. Please make a way for us. Please do what only you can do. In the mighty name of the Lord, Amen. |

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I’ve felt the heartbreak you are feeling. My husband had moved out of the home too.
It’s understandable that you feel guilty and ashamed about your past actions but give it to the Lord, ask His forgiveness and no longer feel that shame that may be holding you back (condemnation is not from our Beloved but from the enemy) You can’t change the past, but you can learn from your mistakes and start walking that narrow path with Him.
I know that this is a lot to take in, but I know what the Lord can do, nothing is impossible. He has giving me children when I was told, after 3 miscarriages that may not be possible and my marriage was restored! I want to encourage you to please read the Restore Your Marriage Book (first chapter here https://encouragingbookstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/How-God-Can-and-Will-Restore-Your-Marriage-Ch1.pdf) and start the courses found here https://hopeatlast.com/c1/. Please study and then journal your thoughts.
God can restore your marriage, even if you’re the only one pursuing restoration. Give all your concerns to Him. My husband was gone for months and living with the OW.
Embrace Him the Lord as your husband during the waiting period of restoration, acknowledging that “For your husband is your Maker…” (Isaiah 54:5).
Dear Lovely Bride,
I am so sorry to hear about the pain you are going through and the fear that has left you feeling sick. I would encourage you to speak to the Lord and let go of all your fears and anxieties because He cares for you. His Love will heal you and transform you. I know that things may be hard but I would encourage you to keep moving forward on the narrow path. Here is a chapter specifically on Fruits of the Womb, https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-22-chapter-12-the-fruit-of-the-womb/ this could assist you in this decision that you are facing. I too was always afraid of having children, but I was released of that fear when I gave it to my Beloved. I’ve been blessed with a restored marriage after my EH was with OW for years and we’ve been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters. Take this time while your EH is out of the home to read His word, pray, and journal. These steps that you take will truly help you. The Lord loves you so much and is waiting for you to come to Him.
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
1 Peter 5:7 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1pe.5.7.NLT
“So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help.”
Isaiah 30:18 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.30.18.NLT
Dear Bride, I agree with Hope and Elda on digging into the areas where the Word of God says. Remember that God did not give us a spirit of fear. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
I too, struggled with fear all my life but I remember what the Lord says – “there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 So rests in His love because the Lord loves you dearly and deeply.
I would encourage you to seek healing in the Lord and let Him transform you and here’s a lesson to journal –
https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d19-gods-makeover/
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised…” Luke 4:18
