Sometimes God gives us more than we can handle because we are under divine discipline. It's suppose to hurt and it does. This is one of the ways He gets our attention and brings us back to a state of humility.
"Forgive and forget" -- easy for someone else to say, but we have memories so we can't forget.

Thank you for mentioning these. There are way too many callous people in the church who figure that if they're not going through something themselves, a trite dismissal of the issue is in order.
As for the "I'll pray for you" line, if the number of people who have uttered this to me actually followed through, I would likely be far ahead of where I am now. A sure way to detect who is lying in this regard is to notice if they ask about your issue the next time you see them. Oftentimes they won't.
