I got this devotional this morning on my computer, thought I would share it with you because you and I it seems are in the same boat, with the spouse just walking away and not seeming to care at all, at least that is how it feels to me most days, so this really spoke to me this morning

Remembering That God Is Faithful

Remembering That God Is Faithful

Remember my affliction and my wandering,
the wormwood and bitterness.
Surely my soul remembers
And is bowed down within me.
This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

—Lamentations 3:19–23

Lord God, thank You for being more than a friend. Thank You for Your sovereign hand upon us, for Your mercies that are new every morning, for Your great faithfulness. Thank You for not leaving us when we should have been rejected and left, for not abandoning us when we deserved it. Thank You for being true to Your Word. Thank You for keeping Your promise that all who come to You will in no way be cast out. Thank You, our Shepherd, for Your sheepdogs—for goodness and mercy and, especially, faithfulness—that follow unrelentingly at our heels. In faithfulness, You will receive those who come to You.

We pray for those who've run away from You. We request that You would win them back through Your compassion and mercy. We ask that they would sense the sympathetic faithfulness of God and that that alone would draw them like a magnet to You.

In the name of Christ, our strong Savior, we pray. Amen.

My wife has run away, not only from me but from God, and all I can do is pray for her return to both of us. I know this, she will have to return to God first and then to me second, for if she thinks she will return to me, without her total surrender to Christ in her life and lead a Christ centered and led life, our R will never work. All I am doing is trusting God and His plan for my life, and not trusting her or seeking my peace in her, that is all I am able to do.
