Amen an amen they say absence makes the heart grow fonder for people in love and friends too. Like looking forward and being happy about the day you meet again.
This is something to be happy for im hope you dont mind but i like to ask for prayes on other peoples prayes not that im insensertive i pray allready that you come together soon and you probably allready are in spirit.
My prayer is i struggle in relationships becuase i have fear of being hurt in my heart its constant and sometimes i keep that fear on to long that leads to other fears as soon as i sit by the window they go away but my prayer is help need for how to deal with my fear in my heart of being hurt.

my brother...i think, if we are honest, we can acknowledge we all feel that way to one degree or another.

we worry about things like these...
if i enter into a relationship with you, and you grow to see the real me, will you reject me?

will you be another transient person in my life whom i give my heart to, and then circumstances change and you leave?
which rips my heart out and makes me sad.

if i enter into a relationship with you, will i hurt you ?


Zinzerio, these fears are common to us all. and i am sorry they're at the forefront of your life right now. :(

one of the problems with us listening to the fear is that it hinders God's work in our lives.
it can hinder the advancement of the Gospel.

and, honestly, there will always be people who reject us and hurt us and leave us.

but...God knows you inside out...totally and completely...the things you hide from other people, and maybe want to hide from yourself.

and He loves you. amazing! He knows us, and He loves us!
and more, He gives us His love to share with others. :)

i know it's in you, this love of God, shed abroad in your heart.
so, hard as it is, try shushing the fears, and as you feel better, maybe with just one person at first...
share yourself with them knowing God has got your back.
His love for you never fades, diminishes, or changes.

and your relationship with God, in Christ, is the relationship that matters.

praying for you.
love,
ellie

Thank you so much I'm 41 and walking with the lord praise god.
But the girl im with has been with me through all my ups an downs for 23
years the first 4 years of that relationship i was very rebellious out of my head on drink getting in trouble fighting thiefing basically out of control I was robing everyone I was addicted to drugs all of which was mostly done in a small village where everyone new your business.
Since the age of 22 i have never commited a criminal offence once.
I have tried and tried to rebuild rekationships and trust but in those 5 years when i was very messed up both mentaly and in the heart inaslo rebelled against my wife having affairs and basicaly i had a huge problem with trust.
Nobody ever understood because i never talked to anyone about anything everyone just saw me as a coward or a scumbag which made me rebel more. The affairs that i had still affects are relation ship today in the sense that mybwife gets paronoid which hurts me deeply because im not that person anymore up until the age of 17 i was the guy i have been since the age of 22 kind friendly i just went through a period of total rebelliouse behavior for quite a few reason like wronful arrests my mum dieing my family problems being hurt all of which led to me being not my self.
Me and wife now are fine but still we have are problems like

Her first all the time I real a sense of hurt deeplywhen we fall out but i keep on going and i keep on trying but the problems i caused back then
Cause a huge rift between me and her very posh family and her very family friends to which today it is still a problem even know everyone can see i do my best and look after her with all my heart.
Im scared that people will eventualy tear us apart because people dont want me to be succesful in life they would rather live in my past.
I would like to see them run thete own buisness with the problem i have had and my disabilities. But no kind words said there about anything like that just how much of a bad guy i am. Im so sick of it but i will never go back into that rebel evet again and if i have to i will do anything to survive like even cleaning the streets or charitable work because thats who i am and who i have always been apart from 5 years of a messed up life.
So this my prayer i just want people to leavr me alone. And stop hurting my feeling and a prayer forvtrust to be totaly restored because this is my biggest hurt when i put so much effort in only to be treated as if i dont make any effort is my biggest hurt.

I am on the road to recovery too and the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful woman to be by my side. There will always be those that try to discourage you. I understand this full well. Focus on the woman that you love and block out all of those who are trying to drag you down. You sound like a survivor type and you are willing to do whatever it takes to survive. I am the same type of person. Keep the faith and fight the good fight and I will do the same as well.

I understand your fear after being hurt and I wasted 35 years being afraid to step out and take a chance again with a real relationship. There will come a time when you will have to step out of your comfort zone or you may waste 35 years yourself. I will pray for you both...

Dear Father In Heaven

Please be with butterfly and Gary and bless their relationship. Help Gary with this illness and according to Your will please help things to work our for the two of them to be able to have a good life together and in good health. Give them strength, peace, comfort and wrap Your arms of love around them as they have to go through the process of medical procedures in Gary's situation that You know all about and be with them through the entire situation.

Also please be with Zinzerio and help him to be bold and trust that he will be able to have another relationship in spite of the hurt he has experienced before. Help him to be able to step out of his comfort zone when the time is right and help him to pray for Your guidance where relationships are concerned. Thank you for hearing this prayer in Jesus Name Amen.

The vow the oath do you both promise to love each other for long as you shall live to Christ each other ?
This is sacred this is talking about the heart this is talkin about two people who have give there heart to each other.
Did you know that when the female duck and the male duck mate together they becomes mates for life after that and are inseperable.
When ever one of the ducks wonders off the other ducks crys out with anguish . do you know what species of duck quack quack ? Haha:)
When you give your heart away youmoeep on giving it away after that no matter ifnthenhurt is bad you can choose to be motivated or depressed. I likemto sing songs when im down

May GOD heal him soon!

Several years ago I had a relationship with someone another conuntry. We spent a full year learning and knowing from one another and, when I got the money, I went to her country and she decided to follow me to Venezuela... We lived almost 2 years together...

You feel the distance? Sometimes, in marriage, people get so isolated and alone, that they see their faces and seldom their hearts... Just to show oposite extremes to chew few thoughts on what you said is GOING NOWHERE?

I've been dealing with this very thing for the past two years. First my girlfriend lived in a town about an hour and a half away; And that was hard enough for a young kid to manage between juggling everything else. Now she's went off to college that's three hours away, and while this distance isn't nearly as great as many relationships its still very difficult. We have managed though. Its taken a lot of prayer, and a lot of patience. A lot of believing it was meant to be, and being very in love and too stubborn to accept anything but being together. Continue to pray, and continue to spend what time you can together, and know that if its meant to be it will eventually all come together. Most likely when you're least expecting it.

I'll pray for you. God Bless!
