Prayer of a Divorced or Separated Person
Father, I belong to you. I place myself anew in your hands and acknowledge you as Master and Lord of my life. Grant me the gift of a forgiving heart and cleanse me of any anger, hostility, or revenge. Heal my hurts and teach me to rely on your love. Grant me wisdom of heart and strengthen me by your grace to move on in faith, in trust, and in love. Thank you, Lord, for your love in my life.

So many things I could add to that today, but I don’t think any of them would make sense. If you know anyone who’s hurting because of their relationship choices, please, pass this on to them. And, pray for them.
Advice from your Uncle Jim:
"Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses."

My mother forwarded me one of those cheesy forwards with the dancing bunnies and lines about living….. paragraphs that didn’t match other paragraphs. But there was a line on there that really struck me. Love as if you have never been hurt before. Something to that affect. It is so hard…. but I’m going to keep telling myself that day after day.
