Abba, I am in anguish, broken now, embittered, a shadow of my former self. I have travailed in prayer for ten years now to find love+marriage! My bf has so much, she wants to jeopardize her marriage by running off with another married man! They are so selfish, entitled. She brags about her admirers, flaunts her options, wealth, kids' achievements, her husband's success. I put up with it because I had nothing in my life—I was repeatedly subjected to domestic violence, verbal+physical by my brother—I needed a friend but while she pitied me, was there somewhat, she was happily married, building/making memories. I pray for her to be a good wife, to stay married. But, why won't you give marriage to me, a person who wants, desires it so much as to seek you tirelessly in prayer? Please make up for the last ten years of denial, setback after another, a stolen fiancé, a cruel betrayal by an ex—he cheated while I made prayer for him in rehab. Haven't I suffered enough abuse, denials, shame? For once, Isaiah—do the word you gave—for my shame, give me double? I am in despair, in Jesus' name, Amen.
