I want to very humbly ask you brethern for prayers for me and my mom.We have been apart for months because of her health.I miss her a lot.I have been her caretaker for a number of yesrs now.And it is an very empty feeling to not have her with me to look after. I also want to ask you to pray for me for Gods protection and favor.I am divorced and have always been sad since my marriage was dissolved.I have not remarried and am totally single .I want you all to ask the Lord to comfort me with this wound.It still hurts and i have a lot of regret of marrying so quickly in the first place.

You also need to forgive your wife , from the heart and tell her that you do . This is a lot of work for you but I promise , it will be worth it , you have been carrying this sorrow for too long , you need to get on with your life and find some joy in your Saviour . Be strong , you can be happy again but you have to put in some effort and really learn to trust in God and in His love and mercy towards you . You can do it , you want to be happy , I want you to be happy and God wants you to be happy and close to Him .

Dear Bibleman72 , I can hear your sorrow . In a previous post I think you mentioned that you split from your wife ten years ago ? It's time to move forward . The thing you need to remember is.... forgiveness . If we confess our sins God , through Christ , He is faithful to forgive us . Ask God to forgive you for whatever wrong you did your ex wife , apologise to your ex wife , doesn't have to be in person , you could write her a letter . Don't talk about what she did wrong , just apologise for what you did . Get your sorrow and guilt and regrets out of your heart so that you can make room for love and optimism ! You need also to forgive yourself , you are only human , just like the rest of us and we have all made mistakes , big ones ! I know I have , I have said and done very wrong things and hurt people's feelings , sometimes without realising it but other times knowing exactly what I was doing . You have to apologise , it doesn't matter much if your apology is accepted or not , you are not in control of that , just do it . Once you have asked for God's forgiveness ( and be assured if you make a full and honest confession to Him , He will forgive you ) and apologised to your ex wife , you will feel so much better and it will be so much easier to forgive yourself and put all this negativity behind you . God is love , God wants us to be happy , His mercies are fresh every day , because of what Christ accomplished we can start each day with a clean slate , we can be clean , we can enjoy His love and mercy and move forward in His Grace , we can be happy , we can be guilt free , all we have to do is confess , apologise and trust Him . Please try to see that God has a future for you , in this life and in the next but you have to be willing to trust Him and show Him that you trust Him ! Use the prescribed method , confession , apologize , forgive and let Christ take over your life and heart and move forward in God's love and His plan for you see part 2
