Hello VictorianJesus, I'm VERY sorry to hear this, so please know that I will be praying for you (and I'm sure that others here will be too).

What @MsMediator just mentioned I will echo, that it's best to bring this to your pastor's attention, ASAP. You can do so with your husband, or you can do so alone, but you need to do so (if you have not done so already) to get his advice/counsel/help, and so that he'll know how to pray for you specifically, as well for your husband, your children and your marriage.

Growing in our trust in/of God would never be hard if we didn't have difficulties to face and terrible storms to navigate sometimes, but He asks us to trust Him with our lives/His direction for our lives nevertheless, even when our lives seem to be in the midst of spinning out of control. The thing is, He knows what's going on, and He knows how difficult it is for you, but you also need to remember that He knows what He's doing (and you need to trust that He does, as difficult as I know that can be sometimes .. as well that He loves you and wants the very best for you, even if it doesn't seem like He does at times like this).

The other thing is, your husband really needs you/your help right now, whether he knows it or not! So, as I said earlier, go talk to our pastor, and keep talking to God about this, praying that the Lord will see you, your husband and your marriage past all of this to a much better and healthier place.

Praying for you!

God bless you!!

p.s. - here's a quote that I hope you will find beneficial (from pastor/theologian Chuck Swindoll), and a few verses below it that I hope you will find comforting, encouraging and/or useful, as well.


Thank you for your reply. I spoke with my pastor and he said he is praying for us.
