Prayer Circles

I pray for you during this trying time in your life. I know what you are going through because it is all happening to me right now. As hard as it is try to remember god's message that the things on earth are not as great as what he has to offer. I am in the process of selling my home and I am going to have to rent a smaller place. My boyfriend whom I loved dearly left me for another woman right before Christmas, and also left me with all the bills. But I prayed to god and the answer he gave me was to start enjoying myself, at first I was like yea right! But now I am spending my time doing what I enjoy, I have joined a gym, I am taking classes at my church, and spending time with good friends and family. I realized I am loved by them and god. Now that I am finally living my life for me, I am happier and realize that I am meeting people that are interested in what I like, and who knows I may have already meant my soulmate and don't know it yet. If not, thats fine too, because I am enjoying myself and learning to love myself. God is showing you a new way to live, if you lose your house its ok, get a smaller place, less expensive, there goes that anxiety, if you lose your job? Get another, it might be hard, but maybe you will find something that you can be happy in. There goes stress!

May god help you, find your way, believe its not easy, and I am learning but you will be happy again if you let god help you.

Keith, I ask of Our Heavenly Father to help you in your time of need, ease your loneliness and your financial burden. But happiness comes from within, so I pray that you become strong spiritually as well as physically so you can once again appreciate the life that has been given you and even in trying times such as you are having, to give thanks to The Lord, He will always be there for you, you'll never be alone.

I went through a very painful separation almost six months ago, at the time all I could feel was pain and it took me a tremendous amount of effort, faith and tears to pick up the pieces and get up to fight my own battle. Now, in retrospect, I know that what happened was necessary in order for me to learn a lesson and realize things about me that I couldn't understand. It's not about people leaving our lives, because those people in our lives are incidental to what our lives really are and mean, it's about coming to terms with who you are as a person and which path is the best to walk on at a specific stage in our lives. I pray for you to feel faith, but you have to get up and fight because what you think is necessary in your life to be happy is really just an illusion. Let go of all the things that you think you need and desperately want, get in touch with God and yourself, ask God what he wants from you and the answers will come, they take time, but they come. When you look back to this time in your life, you will understand that the pain was necessary to teach you a lesson and to instill change in yourself. It is not the wife or another woman you need to keep going, or a job, that is part of the loss you should experience in order to learn. God wants you to look at yourself and renew your understanding about yourself and your faith for him and for what life has to offer if you choose to love again, which by the way will happen when you are ready. Give yourself a chance, don't think that it is the end, and don't fall into the trap of trying to date another person to kill your pain, feel the pain, cry it out and finish it off after you have no more pain to feel. It will bring out a better you, a new person that was always there but one that you never brought out. Don't become bitter, turn all anger into understanding and love for others and believe me, the light will shine in your heart again, I can tell you this because it is happening to me. I send you my best wishes and I pray that you can have strenghth to go on.

AMEN to all the previous prayers!!!!! You will find the power and peace within.You will find true happiness within. Take this time to find the true Spirit (whatever you chose to call it)within yourself. You are complete as you are today. You need nothing or nobody to be the gorgeous child of God you were created to be. God, help Keith see his beauty, strength and power. Thank you God, amen.

May God Grant You the Strength to endure these difficult times. Lean on Jesus to carry you through, and this too shall pass. Yes, your wife left you for another..but guess what? It was all a part of God's Master Plan, He making room for someone better to enter into your life. He's our Heavenly Father who only wants the best for us.

I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus, that you are given the strength, courage, and wisdom to endure all that's happening in your life at this time. I pray that He surrounds you with His ministering angels. I pray that He continues to make a way when it seems as though there's no way. I pray that Our Most Gracious and Loving Father calm your spirit, and fill you with the peace that passeth understanding.

I pray this in The Holy Name of Jesus. Amen.

Friend, Be Bless, for GOD IS IN TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!!!!

Prehapsyou should talk to my mother. When I was growing up, she struggled to raise me by herself, without any support, going from job to job, dealing with mental illness and problems from her past. After her divorce, she could not find a companion, and to this day is still single. I think prehaps you two could sympathize with each other, and I know if asked she would gladly also say a prayer on your behalf. As for me, I hope that somehow you will find happiness and peace. Walk in faith and love.

Blessings on you and all with whom you come into contact, Keith. I am praying that some of the pain you expressed early in January has lessened by now, but I know sometimes it takes far longer. Three years this coming June, I became divorced after an even longer marriage than yours. It wasn't something I really wanted, but it had to be to save my life and that of my daughter. Within a two year period, I felt I had lost everything except my daughter and The One. Home, husband, son, biological family, income, health . . . all were lost to me. In their place were pain, loneliness, and longing..... and I felt them all so strongly.

I have realized very recently that the "loss" of those things in my life could also be viewed as "a freeing of my life" of those things (excepting health). Of necessity I have had to re-examine and re-shape my life. Of necessity I have had to see which things were truly important and jettison the rest.

Am I lonely, in pain, and longing now? Yes.... BUT I am sometimes lonely but know I'm not alone; learning to thank The One for the pain because it declares that I'm alive and able to feel; and while longing to find an emotional match and to achieve some of my new goals, I'm also content in knowing that I have fought the monsters which tormented me and am better today, knowing the truth, than I was when unknowingly living a lie.

A friend taught me that when things feel the roughest I should say "That was then and this is now." NOW is when I am living. It is the only time I can effect to change. I am learning not to throw away today for thoughts of yesterday.

You will be in my prayers.
