The list could and would go on and on and on. It's a relentless and a seemingly endless list. But I think you get the point and the jist of things.
However, we [desperately] must understand, know and realize . . . that we ALL face troubles, problems, temptations, hurt feelings.. pride(s).. and egos, obstacles, set backs, disappointments, let downs, expectations, wants and needs, desires, agitations and annoyances, aggravations and anger, dullness, boredom, loss of connection, selfishness, arguments, disagreements, pettiness, loss of interest, fear, jealousy, bitterness and strife, turn off's [or turn on's], enviousness [envy], suffering(s), hurt and pain, betrayal, greed, one-sidedness [one way], double standards, hypocrisy, loss [or lack] of happiness.. joy and pleasures, lack-ness and loss [etc..]
See, we ALL go through this type [kind] of stuff, we ALL have to deal with it.. at one point or another within our lives [lifetimes]. If we have ANY relationships [i.e. marriages, friendships, professional, dating, work, family, acquaintances, etc..] at ALL or human interactions and contact, we will most certainly encounter these kind of things at some point along the line. But the Commitments and Covenants [etc..] that we make . . . we must Honor them, stick to them and follow through, we must be Faithful, be True and be Obedient. Even MORE so.. in the times that we absolutely do NOT want to [be]. That's TRUE LOVE, loving [someone] when you absolutely really do NOT [don't] want too!
That is another reason [why] The Lord our God stresses the importance of Love, Forgiveness, Faith, Prayer and Obedience [among many other crucially important things!]. LOVE is absolutely NOT just a simple [silly] feeling . . NOR just an emotion! Love isn't when it's easy or convenient! Love is a Commitment, a selfless act, something you personally make an obligation and priority in your life . . NO matter what. See, Love is a Choice. A CONSTANT DAILY CHOICE and DECISION.
Some things happen in life, because of us humans [mankind/humanity] and our actions [or lack thereof], etc.. [But] Other times, it happens because of the world we live in, and the state of mind, and the state of our world. Some times things happen though.. because of a Spiritual Presence or Spiritual Influence, that MOST are completely UNAWARE of! Understand and [please] be WARNED and advised, that there is a very present EVIL [dark and demonic] Spiritual presence and influence in our world and in our lives.. throughout history and time.. throughout ALL generations of humanity.. since the very beginning.
See, we have a ENEMY. A REAL ENEMY! An Enemy that comes to kill, steal and destroy! An Enemy who is after our very Souls. An Enemy who is constantly waging WAR with mankind [us humans/ humanity] and with The Most High. An Enemy who NEVER wants us [humanity/mankind] to LEARN and KNOW The TRUTH, an Enemy who wants us ALL to be deceived, blind, indoctrinated, naive, dumb, divided, hateful, ungodly, wicked, abominable, evil, wretched, vile, addicted, angered, etc.. an Enemy who wants us to be SEPARATED from The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for ALL eternity and damned to the very pit(s) of hell!
We live in a Fallen World . . . . we are ALL sinners . . . ALL of humanity, ever since the fall of mankind, long long ago . . in the Garden Of Eden.
We ALL fall short of the Glory of God Almighty, each and EVERY single day! . . Thank The Lord our God for His Grace, Mercy, Kindness and Love.
We have a CREATOR, our Heavenly Father [Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim, God Almighty, The Great I AM, The God of Abraham.. Jacob.. Issac.. Moses.. and Israel, etc..], HE [alone,] is the ONLY ONE (1) TRUE LIVING GOD! . . . .
One (1) God, three (3) persons [personages] . . . . GOD THE FATHER .. GOD THE SON [Yeshua Hamashiach/ Jesus Christ].. and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT [The Holy Ghost]!
Our God is three (3) in one (1).
GOD is LOVE. The LORD is LOVE.
Love does NOT [truly] exist outside of God Almighty.
We [desperately, wholeheartedly and seriously] need God and HIS help to: fix, repair, salvage, reconcile, heal, mend, save, restore, strengthen, grow, bless, nourish, guide, protect and defend our marriages and families. We need The Lord Yeshua [Jesus Christ/ Yeshua Hamashiach] EVERY single second, of EVERY single minuet, of EVERY single hour, of EVERY single day . . . . In EVERY single aspect, way, area, situation, shape and form . . . . Each and EVERY single day, daily.
We Need The Lord God Almighty 100% . . ALL [of the] the time . . for EVERY single thing . . for ALL of [our] Life [lives] . . and for ALL of Eternity!
Our Marriages, Families, Relationships . . ALL the way to our [very own] Lives and Souls . . are 100% dependent and reliant on The Lord our God. Regardless if you are aware or unaware of it . . regardless if you know that or not . . regardless if you admit it or deny it . . regardless if you agree or disagree . . regardless of your views, opinions, perspectives, thoughts . . and regardless if you can see it or not [etc..], our Marriages, Families and Lives [and souls/eternity] CANNOT survive . . NOR sustain and thrive . . without The Lord. This is ALL sustaining from The Lord God Almighty..
NO matter what season, trial, tribulation, stage or phase [etc..] your Marriage and Family is in, please know that . . . . The Lord God Almighty can change it.
He can fix, repair and mend it.
He can nourish, flourish, grow and bless it.
He can redeem, save and restore it.
He is The Almighty . . The ALL Powerful One . .
He is a Waymaker, Miracle Worker, and a Promise Keeper.
He is our Light in the darkness.
He is our creator . . our Heavenly Father . . our Lord . . our God!
Hallelujah! Praise The Lord our God!
So this is what I need YOU to do . . . I need YOU to take some big breathes in and out . . . slowly inhaling and slowly exhaling . . then wholeheartedly SURRENDERING to The LORD . . . . PRAY THIS [provided right below this paragraph] quietly . . and then STEP ASIDE and GET OUT of the way . . . . and let THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY handle it and take it from here!
Make sure that YOU constantly tell yourself and remind yourself this! YOU must block the ENEMY out! YOU must fill your mind, heart, spirit and soul with The Word and Truth of The Lord our God.
So EVERY Single Day . . PRAY and FILL YOUR MINDS With THIS:
PRAY:
" I may still be broken, but our marriage is one with a lot of purpose and meaning [and potential], and the enemy knew who and where to attack. He thinks he won, but this spiritual battle is NOT over yet. I declare and decree in the Almighty Name of Jesus [Yeshua Hamashiach], that the works of the enemy [satan] shall NOT prevail against me, my marriage, NOR my family. I declare and decree in the Almighty Name of Jesus [Yeshua Hamashiach], that NO weapons formed against me, my marriage, NOR my family shall prosper. I declare and decree that the same Lord that opened and parted the Red Sea, the same Lord that moved mountains, is the same Lord that will restore my [your] marriage, in the Almighty Name of Jesus [Yeshua Hamashiach] Christ! Amen."
24 hours ago . . 24 days ago . . 24 months ago . . etc.. However long it's been since you were in crisis, thinking about the moment when it ends . . when you have to start letting the family know . . when to call it quits . . thinking about and pondering the very moment you decide to file and sign the divorce papers. It's heartbreaking and absolutely devastating.
But Today, YOU my love, must have FAITH bigger than your fears and anxieties!
I believe in a God of reconciliation and restoration.
I very highly recommend and suggest . . and very strongly urge YOU [All] . . to wake up EVERY single morning at 5 am [give or take. Set Same Exact Time Every Morning] . . and begin to pray and to intercede for his [your spouse] side of the bed. Next go to the church y'all used to go to [attend] together, pray and intercede over anything that he [your spouse] played every Sunday . . and over y'all's pew [where y'all sit] . . and in ALL areas of the Church that he [your spouse] is at, involved, etc.. Pray over their [your spouse] clothes, their belongings, their pictures, their Bible's, etc.. Just start Fervently PRAYING and INTERCEDING for them and over them, ALL the time, EVERY single day . . multiple times a day . . numerous amounts a day and night.
My Beloveds in Christ,
Extend [to] YOUR SPOUSE forgiveness, love and grace, because they may NOT deserve it . . . . but NEITHER do you! . . . . and yet The Lord God Almighty STILL forgives you . . He STILL loves you . . and He STILL extends you HIS grace and mercy . . even when YOU do NOT deserve it!
YOU must FORGIVE . . . . IF . . you want The LORD to FORGIVE YOU!
We are ALL flawed . . and NONE of us are perfect.
CHRIST and GOD ALMIGHTY [alone] ARE PERFECT!
Do YOU see and understand now?.
Just when the Enemy thought he had YOU completely down, YOU decided to wake up and take back what’s YOURS. The Enemy [satan] fears YOUR family [All our families] and the power GOD has given Y'ALL. [The power God has given to ALL of us and our marriages and families in Christ].
The Enemy [satan] may be celebrating right now . . thinking that he completely destroyed YOUR marriage and family . . but YOU have to decide to take YOUR hands off the pot . . and let GOD ALMIGHTY . . be the one who fights this battle.
Its NOT easy and it WON'T be. It's STILL going to hurt [and sting a bit too]. It's going to be difficult, challenging and sometimes down right hard. It's going to seem impossible at times. But, do NOT give up! Do NOT lose hope! Do NOT quit! Do NOT let the enemy win!
I KNOW that HE [The Lord our God] walks with me through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear NO evil. God will work it out and open the door. Meanwhile, I’ll praise Him in the hallway.
