I’m a pastor and been married for 28 years to my wife of whom I love deeply. Also I have been a minister for 25 years and I’m 50 years old. However, she has left me and separated from our marriage.I pray that God will give me strength even though I feel like I’m in a world that is now “totally empty”! We have two children that are married themselves and one granddaughter. It is really hard to preach right now because I know that I am a “WALKING OPEN WOUND”! I need her & I need companionship. Have any similar people or ministers going through this? The reason she left is, “I DON’T KNOW”!

Greg, you know better than anyone how the enemy works and somehow he has invaded your house. He has blinded your wife and thrown confusion and pain into your lives. May God bind satan from your home and open up both your eyes to the avenue which satan was allowed to come in and wreak havoc.
Even though feelings are completely real and we can be controlled by them we need to remember the TRUTHS that God has shown us. Everything happens for a reason and God uses all things for Good… In time you will see what He is calling you to do.
Dear Greg,
I have been in Ministryfor over 30 years, I am going through a divorce I dont want, She left me almost two years ago. I understand your pain we have been married for 28 years, I am 51 years old. It is a tragic and difficult time and I completely understand your pain. Cory Ten Boom said that there is no hole so deep that God is not deeper still. We have to hold on to His garment and the strength he promises us He will perfect in the midst of our weakness. You are in and accepted in the beloved. The grief will overwhelm, it just does, Things feel Hollow, His Love never fails though, People will fail. God never will fail. Blessings my brother, and The riches that add no sorrow.
