At one point during this ordeal, my husband said that he didn't want to give me hope. That he felt like him talking to me was giving me hope and he didn't want that. Well, I just found this scripture and my hope doesn't lie in my husband. My hope lies in God and the fact that he will be faithfull to me and my marriage.
Lamentations 3:19-36
It's a Good Thing to Hope for Help from God
19-21I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness,
the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed.I remember it all—oh, how well I remember—
the feeling of hitting the bottom.But there's one other thing I remember,
and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:
22-24God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.
25-27God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,
to the woman who diligently seeks.It's a good thing to quietly hope,
quietly hope for help from God.It's a good thing when you're young
to stick it out through the hard times.
28-30When life is heavy and hard to take,
go off by yourself. Enter the silence.Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions:
Wait for hope to appear.Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The "worst" is never the worst.
31-33Why? Because the Master won't ever
walk out and fail to return.If he works severely, he also works tenderly.
His stockpiles of loyal love are immense.He takes no pleasure in making life hard,
in throwing roadblocks in the way:
34-36Stomping down hard
on luckless prisoners,Refusing justice to victims
in the court of High God,Tampering with evidence—
the Master does not approve of such things.
