Give it up to Him

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

I am battling to understand what God wants to do in my life. I understand that what has happened is to bring me closer to Him. What I don't uderstand is why my children has to suffer and what God wants from me.

Do I keep on hoping even when my W tells me that she needs to move on with her life and there is no chance of reconciliation?

When I pray, what do I pray for?

I am really confused at this stage of my life and sometimes I feel that God is unnessacirly cruel!!

I have times when I really believe that everything will eventually come alright between me and my W, but then I start to think that it's better to just give up on our M and maybe the pain will then go away. I am really battling to keep my faith alive.

Hi GWK,

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">When I pray, what do I pray for?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I always try to pray for Spiritual understanding (Eph. 1:17) for me, my child and my W. I pray for my WW's relationship with OM to be literally DESTROYED. I prayed for emotional protection for my child.

Only He sees what may lie ahead for your children. He may see a similar situation in their future and the way you handle your situation will teach them something. Hopefully it would be something that will help them. Hopefully it will teach them to seek God, lean on Him and trust Him in all things.

If you tried everything you thought there was to try and she doesn't respond even a little then you need to separate yourself from the hurt being inflicted upon you and your children.

I believe whenever we try everything we can and our WS still chooses to remanin in the A, it's time for plan B and I know that God can heal the hurt and even guide you to the next Mrs. GWK.

Hope this helps. Bless you.
