I’m so sorry for your pain, Sandra. Sometimes earthly things don’t get mended, and it’s such a hard, hard thing to accept. I’ve prayed prayers that were not answered in the way I would have liked, and I won’t understand why on this side of Heaven. But this I do know–God provides the grace we need to get through all the broken things. And one day in Heaven, He will mend our broken hearts completely. Praying for you.

Thank you. Been 10 years. I always thought it would be mended. Not so.

Hi, Patricia. No, I don’t mind you asking. I try to write very delicately and discreetly about the painful things in my past, so as not to bring harm to the people involved. God has given me grace to forgive, and I never want to hurt anyone with my written words. But at the same time, I believe God wants me to share how He brought me through my pain. In answer to your question, I lost my marriage to divorce. It was a very difficult and heartbreaking thing to go through. But through it all, God has given me strength for each day, provision for every need, comfort in my tears, and joy in spite of the pain. I can honestly say to those who are hurting that God will bring you through and restore your joy. I know it, because I’ve lived it. He is good, no matter what happens in our lives.

You’re very welcome, Patti. May God richly bless you today!

Tina, I’m so sorry for your pain. And don’t feel as if you need to “be over it” after 3 1/2 years. Great pain is evidence of great love. Praise God for the comfort He gives us in these difficult times! He is good, all the time. I’m praying that God will continue to comfort you and give you grace for each day.

Thank you for your kind words, Tisha. My prayer is that God will take these words and encourage those who are hurting. I want others to know there is always, always hope. May God bless you and give you the strength you need.
