Oh Sweet Shannon,
My heart is so grieved for what you are going through. I cannot even imagine how scary that would be. I am stopping today and praying for you and your family my friend. I know that we can only see today, but God sees what He has in store for you. I pray that you would feel his tender arms holding you ever so closely during this time of waiting. I pray that the Lord Jesus would find favor with your husband as he begins to look elsewhere. Above all I pray that your faith would be increased and your fear decreased as you take this one day at a time. I know that I would need those same type of prayers if the tables were turned. Here is a verse I pray gives you encouragement in the storm:
But now, sweet Shannon, listen to the Lord who created you.
The one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you....., Isaiah 43:1-5
