The Struggle
July 12th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Dear Father, Mother, God,
It’s me again! I am really struggling these past few days, God and I could use your help. I have hurt someone that I promised You, I never would. I held him above all others for over a decade, just like I promised You I would.
I know I wasn’t always kind, gentle or easy to get along with but I loved him deeply and as purely as I could. I honored for better or for worse for such a very long time. I am having a hard time lately because so many people got hurt that were innocent, including us.
I wear a cross on my shoulder to remind me that You are always with me. I know You are working in my life. I just need a little help today, God. I need to completely forgive and to completely be free of all anger, hurt and pain. I need to honor what was a blessing and let go of what is now just heavy baggage.
Dear God,
We place this Marriage and this Divorce in Your hands. Heal our hearts, Dear God, and heal our children. We release each other in love, and we bless each other forever. Help us to forgive the past, to see the beauty and innocence in ourselves and each other.
We thank each other for the good times, and forgive each other for everything else. May nothing in the past except its blessing remain with either one of us.
We thank each other for the many gifts, and vow to hold them in our hearts forever. In this moment, may our relationship be reborn, to serve this new season of our lives.
May the Holy Spirit guide us and bless us. Forgive us both dear God.
Amen
