Feeling heartbroken and empty in your marriage is a symptom of deep, unfulfilled hunger for God. When we turn from pursuing our spouse for fulfillment and open our hands to God, He fills us to overflowing.
I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but what I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.
Martin Luther
He longs to fill you with contentment and peace. And His pitcher never runs dry.
“I long to drink of you, O God, drinking deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your presence. My longings overwhelm me for more of you! My soul thirsts, pants, and longs for the living God. I want to come and see the face of God. Day and night my tears keep falling and my heart keeps crying for your help while my enemies mock me over and over, saying, “Where is this God of yours? Why doesn’t he help you?” So I speak over my heartbroken soul, “Take courage. Remember when you used to be right out front leading the procession of praise when the great crowd of worshipers gathered to go into the presence of the Lord? You shouted with joy as the sound of passionate celebration filled the air and the joyous multitude of lovers honored the festival of the Lord!” So then, my soul, why would you be depressed? Why would you sink into despair? Just keep hoping and waiting on God, your Savior. For no matter what, I will still sing with praise, for living before his face is my saving grace!”
Psalms 42:1-5 TPT
