As a Believer myself, who by the way also wanted to believe that God would take care of us (but of course only in the way that I wanted), came to understand that sometimes it is a test of our faith to accept the plan that God has in store for us. I counseled with a wonderful Minister who explained to me that many times our faith is tested and the real test is to accept with love that this may not be what we want, but it is in God's plan. I eventually realized that staying stuck and stubborn was keeping me from honoring God's will and acceptance of his plan for my life. Nowhere is it written that we always get what we want. So if I am to understand this correctly all here who succumb to divorce are not following God's will in your view? To this I disagree.
You are right about 1 thing. God does take care of us but we have to help ourselves. Once I stopped sitting around and took my life back, almost instantly things changed. My children became closer and happier. The perfect job that I had not even sought fell out of the sky. I was so surrounded by love, happiness, thankfulness, but most importantly a purpose for my life was once again in my grasp. I was then able to really and truly be grateful for the many blessings that were all around me.
How are you moving ahead? You're still in danger of losing your home, your car barely runs, you say you have no money. How will this get any better unless you take charge and make a plan?
bh is right. Your marriage was broken. Sometimes divorce is eventually the thing that brings a MLC spouse. I'm not saying that everyone's divorce will lead them back to a MLC spouse,in fact most times it won't, but in my case that is exactly what happened. Seven years after leaving, my ex woke up and has asked for a chance to start fresh and try again. I now know that what happens next is my choice and I am so thankful for that choice. We'll see what God and my heart tell me.
