Which End Is Up?

[jawlz77]

Ever feel like you don't know which end is up? I've literally spent an hour trying to put something into words that would begin to address the complexities in my life right now that need prayer. Most recently, my marriage of five years has fallen apart due to a mental illness that seems to have taken every good thing out of my life over the past 15 years. After 5 months of separation, it's clear that my wife is much happier with the new freedom in her life and she is not looking to resume her relationship with me. I understand that I will never be able to give her physically or emotionally the things she needs. While she is patiently waiting for me to set her free, I'm having a hard time letting go knowing how God feels about divorce.

As I've struggled to deal with my own issues over the years, I've always found it therapeutic to help others over their hurdles. I've been a mentor to a fatherless teen in my neighborhood for the past 4 years. We hang out after school a few days a week and usually once on the weekend. While this is truly a relationship I feel that has been blessed by God, I'm concerned about its continuance as the teen's mother has taken a more than friendly liking to me. While a supposed woman of God herself, she informs me daily that God has sent me into their lives as an answer to HER prayers for a man of God to serve as head of their family. I'm torn and tempted because I do see the potential there. However, I can't see God calling me out of one marriage and right into another. I also don't want to end what has really been a great mentorship between the teen and myself.

To further complicate things, since my separation, I've had a very difficult time making ends meet financially. While I once had a little money in the bank, I am now living paycheck to paycheck just to put a roof over my head and to put food in the fridge. I have 2 degrees and have sent out countless resumes and haven't gotten so much as a bite. I'm concerned, with the added expenses of heat over the winter months, I'm going to find myself in financial dire straits if something doesn't come along soon.

Please pray for me. I really could use some physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Play that God will open the right doors and close the wrong ones. Pray the He will give me clarity and peace in my life choices. Pray that He will recognize my needs and give me the skills and tools necessary to meet them.

 

Lord please end this mentorship as it is or has done damage to this woman married to his relationship already. I pray that this man notice his current wife which he has given his commitment to. Mentoring is one thing but there are others who could answer this Big Brothers and Sisters Organization or a minister from your favorite church might please the Lord most. Father send financial help through a new job. Maybe he could use his mentor time we pray to go to a job agency for them to help him apply for a new job. Give him strength to depend upon himself I pray Dear Lord. Amen.

Let love, joy, peace, and faithfulness to You God and each other reign within the walls of our hearts and home. Give both of us patience and a great respect for each other. Help us; teach us how to be gentle, compassionate, courteous, and tenderhearted toward each other. Help us to remember what drew us to each other. Show us Lord Jesus how to keep Love strong and healthy in our marriage. Bless my marriage Lord Jesus. And please do the same for every married couple in my family, all my friends that are married, and the writer of this prayer. Bless our marriages.

Jehovah you are so kind to us and you tenderize our hearts towards one another. Marriage vows are designed to be a covenant with you bearing witness of our commitment; it never creates a route for escape for any reason. Speak patience to the heart of compassion in each of these spouses and allow them to revisit their vows- for better or worse... If this is the worst it gets- give them the strength to endure to the end. Let neither consider abandoning the other but continuing in love to encourage and edify your will in them as a unity to give you all the praise and honor for the remainder of their lives, amen.

Father, arise in the mid of this storm and let peace be still. I am short of words but our God is able...amen
