Will God forgive me?

Question

If I think God wants me to do one thing, but I want to do another....will God punish me forever? Will I go to Hell if I go against God's will and I know I am doing it? Will I ever be able to overcome the troubles that may come with a wrong decision that God probably doesn't agree with? I am tired of waiting for a miracle in my marriage....its been 24 yrs. now.....I feel like I have sacrificed enough of my life here on eart with the wrong man...I know he was my choice at 19 yrs. of age...and I made the mistake of being unequally yoked....but how long do I pay for this mistake?
I am so torn...I am in spiritual warfare and my mind is a battlefield everyday....my health is bad because of this struggle within....please help.....and don't say be patient and wait and pray.... I have...

Answer 1

First of all, God is a god of love. He is a god of mercy, and forgiveness. Would such a God punish one for using their right to free will (which he bestowed upon us) forever? No.

Second, God made it possible for us to be forgiven of sins (even serious) through the ransom sacrifice of his son, Jesus Christ. If you were to truly repent and turn aside from this wrong you speak of, God will forgive you and forget about it. He will not continue to hang a sin in your face that you have repented over.

And hell (hades) is the common grave. And once in the common grave (dead) you feel nothing, think nothing, are aware of nothing. God loves us all and wants all to attain to repentance and doing his will.

I am going to tell you to pray, but only to talk to God again, and repent of this wrong, and be forgiven, so you can live your life again as a true servant of him.

Wish you the best.

Answer 2

First of all I would like to say that you are very lucky because you have a husband. Ive been praying for a husband for many many years now and im still waiting. Although Im not prepared to chose my own, I have decided to wait on God for this request which I know He will fulfill by a certain time in my life.

Unfortunately in any request we make to God, God's time isnt the same as ours. 1 day to God is like 1 thousand years

All I can honestly say to you is that I believe that God has made a way for you and when God's plan comes together, you will be so happy you will have to pinch yourself! Why do I say this? Because i have seen this happen to my sister who was in a very similar position to yours except she wasnt married.

I hope this has helped.

I would recommend a few books that might help if you can find them...one is "Being married to an unsaved husband".." A woman after Gods own heart" and "The power of a praying wife"...in my wildest dreams I never knew that God could take a failing abusive marriage and turn it around into the marriage that I now have (with the same man) but he did, a lot of the time we pray "God change him" when we really need to be looking inward and seeing what can we do to change. God changed me and then as a result changed my husband too. I saw I was not being a Godly woman in fact I was in rebellion not taking care of my house or husband and I justified my actions by thinking Don didn't deserve me to be good to him...in reality I was not being obedient to God and following him way, but when I did things started to change in my marriage and Don even though he is not walking with the Lord yet, he stopped drinking we have not had a fight (fist) in 9 years and we were VERY abusive to each other...I know God can do a miracle in your relationship too, maybe you need to ask God what is it that you need to change....This verse spoke volumes to me ...1 Peter 3 1-6...1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

It is my prayer that you will not take this hard or harsh because it is intended and spoken out of love.

Answer 4

I read your question with great interest and compassion. An earth-shattering awakening came my way recently to allow me to see that divorce is against the will of God. The Bible teaches that if we love God, we will obey His commands. He has a wonderful reward as we yield to His will, and that is a supernatural help for you! In the Book of Malachi, it says clearly that God listened not to those who vowed vows and did not keep them. Do you want to have a future of God listening and answering your prayers, or do you rather choose a life of God not answering? I urge you to read the Book of Malachi. There is a very knowledgable book on marriage, divorce and remarriage at the web site: http://www.anabaptists.org/books/mdr/. I urge you to read this online. Just scroll to the bottom of the page. God wants to come to your husband who is just as needy as you, if not more. As you lay aside yourself and give yourself to God, you will see your husband transformed. Sometimes things happen by prayer and fasting. There is a blessing ahead for you, as you choose the way of the Lord - don't let it slip by. I will be praying for you. I have a lot on my heart that I hope I can share sometimes.

Answer 5

God is very forgiving. He also wants us to be happy. I think that if you are that unhappy in your marriage that God is not going to punish you for leaving. We make mistakes and jump the gun sometimes but God gave us our own minds and knows that we will make mistakes, and that brings us closer to Him. Please don't tear yourself up any longer. God knows what you are going through and I feel he doesnt want you to stay where it is not healthy for you. Just ask God for guidance and you will receive. God Bless you and I hope this helps.

Answer 6

God is good. That's all I can really say for sure, I can't tell you I know for sure whether or not he will forgive you, because I'm not sure of the means by which he forgives. All I know is, he's good, so if you consider forgiveness to be a good thing, do the math, because it all looks the same to me. In other words, yeah he'll probably forgive you.

Answer 7

Get a divorce. God doesn't want u to be so unhappy. Don't be trapped by the religion standpoint. The answer from God is the same as mine. If anyone looks down on your hold your head up high and ignore them.

Answer 8

Sorry, there is no such thing as a god. Your prayers were a waste of time. You should have spent that time hugging him more or perhaps trying to make things work.

There is no magical being up in the stars that heals our wounds and makes our toast not burn. It's up to us to make it all work, nothing else.

About seven answers below this one you will see an answer from a person that appears to have all thier cards placed on the magic of thier god (all-in), they want you to contact them. I advise against that, I advise you to spend that time on your husband, and not on this person.

"happy pilgrim" is a puppet is appears.

My suggestion is to either seek counselling, or if thats not an option, than perhaps divorce is the final step. There are plenty of fish in the sea, if if none are for you, then enjoy your time as a freebird.....enjoy your days, ball and chain-free.

Answer 10

Have you heard the story of Jonah??

If God ask a person to so something and the person refuses eventually that person will fall into Gods plan and they will do his will.
