" Lord, You alone are my guide, my companion, my strength, and my life. I need no other to fulfill my expectations, for all my hopes and expectations are in You. Show me what You want me to see. I refuse to allow disappointment to color my mind and emotions and outlook. I put You in charge of every detail of my life, even the pain I feel in my heart. Use it to perfect me and bring glory to You. Thank You for Your endless goodness toward me. I lift my hands to You, and I trust that the light I have is sufficient for what I face this day and this moment. "
( Psalm 22:5 )

I send this prayer to anyone surviving any kind of disappointment, feeling any type of pain, any kind of loss, and any negative emotions. I pray that you all be blessed with happiness and joy, no matter what is going on. Keep your head up and hopes high. Thank you all for your words and prayers. God Bless you all-

Jess, I want to thank you for the encouraging post it surely spoke to me as I search for hope. My wife has filed for divorce we are both Christians but she is through with me. I am devastated I know we had problems but I wanted to continue to try counseling. I guess I'll go to counseling alone. There is very good Christian counseling within minutes of me. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Mark,
Your wife's actions don't reflect who you are or what you've done. Her actions belong to her, as you belong to God. Maintain your faith, hand things over to the Lord. New chapters bring to us what we never expect. Be positive and celebrate the life of Jesus. Merry Christmas Mark. Others, please in me in prayer for Mark...

I am sorry to hear about your divorce, but continue to be strong, and make yourself happy. Life is full of roads that sometimes we wish we didn't have to take, but we do, but we end up finding our way in the end. I wish you a Happy Holiday, although you are having a hard time with this, and I will pray for you and all in your life to change for the better. I pray you continue your path, whether you are alone or not, to have the strength to know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Just know and believe, there are greater things in life, waiting for you. God Bless-

This post really helped me today. Yesterday was a very disappointing, hurtful day at work. People who I thought respected me stabbed me in the back. It is only through God's grace that I will recover. This prayer reminded me to always seek out God for validation of who I am. I am first His child before any other title I may want at work. Praise God for his loving grace. Amen

Jess, I really appreciate what you said. It is exactly what I needed to hear in order to move forward with my life and keep trying to be the good person god sees me to be.

I am so happy that my post's have helped you see what is really important. Never let other's bring you down in life, this is your life and you are in control of it. I have had many people who I thought were real friends, stab me in the back also, but I continue to move on and know that God is here for me and I trust Him to move me in the right direction, no matter how lost I am. God Bless you all and continue to stay positive, do not let other's have the satisfaction of hurting you, in anyway. Stay strong and follow your heart, but remain true to God. He is listening and He believes in us all.

I wanted to touch base again and thank all who've had me in their prayers. Christmas was extremely difficult as was New Years. I gave thanks and prayed to God to give comfort to all the lonely people and those that might be experiancing divorce like myself. Counseling has been going well and the Lord has brought favor and peace to me. I still hope for reconciliation but realize I can go on should that not be the Lord's plan. I continue to get comfort from your posting. Thanks for caring for all and continue to keep me in your prayers as well as my wife Rosemary. God Bless You

I Thank you, as well as everyone here. All I want to accomplish here, by posting my prayers, blogs, and words, is to bring hope to other's and to let you all know that there are good people here, who want to help, support, and listen. I do not judge, I may be young, but I understand the struggles each one of you are going through, as I have had many of my own. I Thank Everyone, for their prayers, they really have worked and I really appreciate it. I will continue to keep everyone in my prayers, and I send you all many blessings. Know that with God, you can accomplish anything. You are never alone.

Hi Jess,

I thought I'd check in to say I'm doing fine, growing stronger and still hoping for a miracle the divorce is not yet final and the Lord gives me encouragement that things will turn out positively. He has provided many blessings toward me lately. I would like to thank the person who wrote almost immediately after my 1st post telling me that it's not a reflection on who I am or what I've done rather that her actions belong to her. I've come to understand that in a deep way and let my heart be pierced with that truth. I wished who-ever wrote that would've left a name. Thanks


Mark
