NET SUPPORT

I wanted to put a comment here that I left for a young man who had just separated and was in real anguish. When I looked at his picture on his page and looked into his eyes, I saw the same pain there that I saw in my own eyes when I faced separation after 25 years of marriage. I hope to make this group a real source of support for those who are in this position that most of us never dreamed of being in, and then found our selves there anyway.
This is the post.
I do know the place where you are at right now, because I have been there. Without going through all the details of my experience I want you to know that because you have come to this net. You are not alone in your suffering anymore. I know how hard it is to allow others to help you when you have been so wounded. You do not need me or any one to fix this problem right now, all you need to know is that someone cares about you. I remember the day my Pastor came to my house, just set with me half a day, and cried with me. I kept listening to this song by Keri Jobe that helped me make it through my pain.

It didn’t turn out the way I thought it would after almost 4 years now.
Am I back in my marriage? No. The divorce will be final this week.

Is there life after separation, divorce or the loss of a spouse? Yes!
But you can’t deal with it alone. You need some one to help you find a way through the maze of grief, and sorrow that some one goes through with any loss. Stand no more alone and find some support for yourself that you need so desperately.

Know that I will, and others here will pray that God will lead you to those who will help. God can handle your anger and disappointment and your grief. He is a very present help in time of need.


Maybe you are reading this and your heart is broken, you are feeling lost, and have lost your hope.

I pray that you might just share your story here and allow God to minister to you though others who love the Lord and have a compassionate heart. I realize through my own experience that I needed the members of the Body of Christ to help me in this journey.
My motto has become: STAND NO MORE ALONE.

I seperated from my husband of 13 years in 2002 and our divorce was final in 2005. Someone once told me that some divorces can be so easy, not so sure I agree with this...Divorces destroy, however you can put yourself back together and move on with time and healing from God and support from others who have gone through the struggles of going through a divorce and raising children that are caught in the middle of a divorce. God allows us to experience things to be an encourager to others, not saying that if you don't go through something you can't encourage, however when there are others who relate to you it's so much easier. My heart breaks for some of the stories I have read and God does heal...Healing is not always instant........God is the bandaid of all our hurts and hangups!!!! Blessings!!!!!

Gloria, your story is so heart breaking and now that you have shared it here you will have others who will help share your burden. Gloria I believe God has led you to AllaboutGod and to this support group. Every one of us has made mistakes and no one here will judge you. The first step for any one is to find help from The Lord. I do not know if you have been born again yet or not. If you haven’t you might take a look at the group; Building a Sure Foundation for Christian Growth. We want to be of help any way we can. We have some wonderful Pastors also that will help you too. God told me to stand no more alone in my battles a couple of years ago and because I obeyed Him it has made all the difference for me.

My spouse and I have actually been divorced since 1989 but the same week our divorce was final, we moved back in together, never re-married and it was a long road of lies, adultery, heartbreak and incarceration. There were good times but few and far inbetween. Now 3 kids, and 23 yrs later I decided to walk away, I coulnd't take it anymore. Before I was even packed good he had started an affair with a coworker (who I later found out was the owner of the company's sister) and just let me walk. Did nothing to try to keep me or fight for me (no willingness to change him self or change the situations that were taking place) I was having a really hard time with that. There's been alot that happened in the last few months, phone calls and visits and blow-ups. He's told me he still loves me and always will and at one point thought I thought he was doing better and maybe things would work out, yet he continued his other realtionship as well. It's been 6 months and it's a little easier now but the thoughts of everything about this whole situation consume me on a daily basis. I so desire release from this situation and peace and joy so badly. I am desperately trying to move forward. Please pray for me.

I am still married... by law... but really my husband and I live under the same roof but carry on completely seperate lives. We are like room mates who feel nothing for eachother.

We will pray for you. Pray that God will restore your hurt and your aching heart. HE understands every hurt and HE will comfort you. Please feed yourself with the Word and I want to encourage you rather have friends who lifts you up than those who keep you from the Lord, but always pray for them for they need the LOrd and we must pray for them. First get yourself healed spiritually and mentally after a hurtful relationship!
PRaying for you!

Please pray for me, I was dating a man who was saved but walked away from God as he lost his son almost 2 years ago in a tracic accident. I believed that God has placed me in his life to help him but he didn't treat me very well and started to drink & became out of control. I know in my heart that this is not what God would want for His daughter so I ended the relationship 2 weeks ago but the pain in my heart is just not leaving me. Please pray for healing for me in this area.

God Bless.

Bob, my partner spoke with his ex and praise the lord she has no objections, we are both delighted with this. So keep us in prayer that Gary will be open to the studies and doesn't get bored as he is only ten.On sunday past he played football with the other kids and then had a quiz about the Israelites and really enjoyed himself and he can't wait to come back next week. Isn't that brilliant, God answers prayers, amen.

Cara, this is a difficult situation that a lot of people have to deal with. The child’s father and the child’s mother need to decide how to deal with if his son attends Church with you when he comes to your home. It seems that the child’s mother would want the him to do things with his father even if you and she are not on good terms.
