Guest ConnieCGB Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My heart feels your sorrow and my own past memories with grief rush to my conscience mind, upon reading your words. If you have just started your walk with the Lord, then know that none of us can do anything, without the help of the Lord. Go to him and ask him to stay with you and protect your being from the emotions that plague your heart. Tell the Lord every thing as you would tell your best friend, and keep close to him. He is your rock and fortress strong, and will give you the ability to cope with the burdens you face daily. I pray for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been married for 23 years and am now in a recent divorce. The pain and suffering involved is so hard to take. I have sought comfort and strength in the words of the Lord but I still am in love with her and can't seem to let my love for her go. I think she is doing alot better than I am but I was always the one to show more affection than her. I try so hard to move on, yet......I am still in love with her. I try to be cordial but her attitude is spiteful and vindictive at times. There is so much more..... I wasn't allowed to say goodbye to her dying mother, I wasn't added to the obit, I didn't attend the memorial because I wasn't welcomed or allowed to sit with my children.....I have done wrong, I believe she has, but I have told her I forgive her and that I have allowed God into my life. I tried to so hard to stay together. I offered her my new self with the Lord as my guide but that didn't work either. I miss her. I don't want anyone else but it looks like I have no choice. How can I let her go when My heart won't. How can I forget the good times when I see things everyday that remind me of her. Help my heart. Hi lostsoulmate, I don't believe I saw it posted but in this same Forum where Eric moved your thread, there is a support thread dedicated to divorce support. Divorce Support Thread (click on link) or here is the address; http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?showtopic=52831 Many of us have been through much the same stuff. I have a friend and Brother in Christ whose wife of 22 years caught him in a drugged and drunken stupor having sex with her best friend. He had never cheated on her ever before that day. It hurt her deeply. She was ready to divorce him. He ran to every Christian he knew, attended all different Churches but couldn't shake the alcohol or drug addiction and could not appease his loving wife's heart. but a mutual friend of both of us took him to his Church and a singing group came in to perform. Bill knew the lead singer from the Automotive industry, found out he was a pastor of the Baptist Church across the field from the one he was in, could see the anointing and glow of Jesus all over him. He came to Jesus Christ two nights later in his own house. Set free immediately from the alcohol and drugs. Pastor Darren talked with Bill's wife and dealt sin as God sees it out like a deck of cards. Today God has healed her heart immensely and their marriage is healed and better than it ever was. It is not always like that but, I have learned to expect Great and Supernatural things from Jesus! For myself, He replaced an atheist wife who left while I was studying Jesus in The Word and hadn't even accepted Him yet with one He picked for me nearly four years later. The other is still moving men in and out of her life thinking she will find the man she is looking for that way. There is a bright and glorious rising ahead, just put all and everything into Jesus' hands including your heart and behold the Glory and Power of the Lord as He moves.

Peaches.....I do continue to talk to God and ask for strength. Sometimes it starts to look brighter, then she does stuff and it sets it back.....I only want peace for her heart....Yea, I would love to have her back but I know it's not going to happen. People have told me God works miracles but this isn't possible. Thank you for your prayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do pray everyday and especially at night for strength. I ask for forgiveness for myself and for her. It helps so much to talk to someone like yourself who has been with him. thank you.

Hi lostsoulmate, I want to tell you how sorry I am that you're going through this. I have not been divorced, but I have been through a breakup that was heartbreaking, and it took me a long time to get over him. Long story short, as bad as it feels now, with time it WILL fade. It probably won't be anytime soon, but eventually it's going to get to a point where you hardly think about it and feel a sense of peace over the whole thing. The good news is you have God. Right now would be a great time to really solidify a relationship with him. Read the bible, pray, go to church, get involved in some activities- anything you can do to get your mind off the hurt. A verse that gave me a lot of encouragement was Matthew 21:22- If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Now I'm not suggesting that you pray for this woman to come back into your life, but rather that you would pray for peace, happiness, and a quick recovery. And I will be the first to testify over the power of prayer. It really works. And in my situation it helped me get over my ex a lot sooner than I had thought I would. I will pray for you.

Sierra Sierra..... Thank you so much for your kind words. It helps to hear that all will be better with the power of prayer. I pray every day for her heart to heal and for mine to move on eventhough I could only wish that we get back together. I know that's not possible so I must move on. Again....thank you so much.
