Beginning to understand that 100% trust may never be possible. Even if it is unfounded, mistrust is so real.
Kind of makes me sad and angry but I guess this is the plan too.

Hi Praise6,
Trust.....yes, it is a difficult topic for wives.....for me, as well. I have been lied to.....repeatedly......for years. Now that some truth has been recently exposed, I don't even ask all of the questions I have because I don't know that I can believe or trust the answers to be true. One thing God has taught me, is that He CAN be trusted......Psalm 32:10 says His loving-kindness surrounds the man (or woman) who trusts in Him. I believe God has a special place in His heart for us as women, much as a loving father cares for his daughters differently than he will his sons. So, in all of my questioning.....in all of my tears and pain.....I do believe He cares for my husband so much that He will not leave him to himself to continue on and on in his addictions or anger.......AND I believe He cares for me so much that He desires to expose unknown darkness in our marriage and in each of our hearts......because He longs so much to be close to and intimate with us and hates that which gets in the way of this free giving and receiving of love which He so longs for with us. It may sound out there to you to think like this.......hope I didn't confuse you. My final thought is James 4:8 "Draw near to me and I will draw near to you." Praying our husband's and our hunger for God will far surpass our hunger for things of this world which do not satisfy......and that this same God would heal this woundedness in each one of us and our marriages, bringing supernatural healing by the power of the Spirit.....immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine! Practically, trusting in Him like this helps me to not obsess over what my husband could be doing as much since I believe God wants it exposed for the good of both of us even more than I do. Also, taking time daily, throughout every day, to worship Him.....to have worship music on and enter in, sing, bow down, cry, lift my hands, etc.....has been such a blessing to my heart, refreshing my spirit and bringing intimacy with God beyond compare, humanly speaking! Blessings in Jesus to you!
