I had been going thru a lot lately, I live in india and my parents are looking for a groom for me but they are not chriatians infact they are looking for someone according to the details given by some astrologer.
I and my friend here on TJ prayed that lord guides their mind. I dont know what shud I do at this moment. Shud I just let things happen or find someone online. I know lord loves me and he knows my heart desires but when I fail lord I get this feeling of being condemned

I accepted Christ as my savior back in 1988, and walked with him for about three years when I fell to the devil’s temptations with an affair and lived the life of the prodigal son. Divorced a wife after 26 years and married again and messed that one up as well. No affair, just wasn’t treating her like I should, as I did when we first married. At the end of my rope I was ready to take my own life, until God sent a good friend to get me back to Christ. That was about 2 years ago. In that time I tried sharing Christ with my wife. She could not believe that anyone could change overnight. I tried explaining how God changes the heart, but she wanted no part of it. Got started at a Christ centered church. I went on a Mission trip with a group from the church, came home and while I was gone, my wife announced that she moved out. I have been alone for 6 months now. She’s not sure what she wants to do. So I have been just praying the God will soften her heart. At this point, I am not sure what to do other than be patient and keep praying. I know that the bible says it’s not good that man is alone, so I am looking to God to change her heart so she can forgive me and come back. But on the other hand, the Word says that we should not be unequally yoked to unbelievers. I know divorce is wrong, and I was doing some research and found this verse. 1Co 7:12 "But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away." Towards the end of the verse it says, "And she be pleased to dwell with him." In my wife's case, she doesn't seem to be pleased to dwell with me. Not sure what to do now that we have been separated for almost six months. If it wasn't for staying in the word, and regular daily prayer, I don't know how I could go on with out the companionship I have been use to. Would appreciate some scriptural advise.

Greetings @MRoe
I have been thinking about your post for a few days now.
I understand how difficult things must seem for you at the moment.
All you can do is keep waiting on the Lord and seeking His direction in these matters
This time of being still and being alone may be painful but use it to draw closer to the Lord
He will open and shut doors in your life, in His timing and according to His purpose
Keep holding your estranged wife before His throne....and pray that you may shine His love to her during the times that you communicate
Remember she has been hurt by your behaviour in the past and she may need more time to reflect on any future plans.
Also because she doesn't know the joy of salvation and forgiveness of sins ....she unlike you is leaning on the world for her support
The most important concern for you has to be her salvation and praying for her lost soul whether or not you get back together again.
May the Lord bless you brother as you seek His will and His way in these matters
My you know the Lord's glorious peace reigning in your heart
God is our refuge and strength
Psalm 46:1

Fragrant Grace has given you good information. I would just add this: Many people see Christianity as some sort of spiritual commodity that we have to sell to unbelievers. I've learned through experience that the surest way to fail in evangelism is to go on a religion sales campaign with the person. Just love her and pray that she'll let God put people in her life who will draw her to Him. It's not your job.
