There was a time my husband told me he didn’t believe in God. This broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes. He was brought up in a church his grandfather was a Methodist minister, yet he still didn’t believe in God.
He used to believe, but through misfortune we lost everything and he turned from God. He allowed the enemy to put thoughts in his head that if there was a God, we wouldn’t have lost everything.
His straying from God, led him to stray from his family and our marriage. At this time, I grew closer to God. What satan meant for harm, God turned into good.
In my journey with God, He out many wonderful God-fearing people in my life. There was much healing and growing that I needed to do. I needed to get closer to God. In this journey I learned to release my husband to God through prayer.
Not only was I praying, but as I shared my story, others prayer for my husband, our marriage and family. These prayers were heard and answered by God. He chased after my husband’s heart.
After many years of running, my husband accepted the Lord and was baptized. We were baptized together.
There are still many struggles, but little by little, much healing is occurring and a relationship is being built by my husband’s choice, not by pressure from me. A miracle!
