I just got home from my Wednesday night church service, and I sit down and get a Facebook notification that my wife has removed our Anniversary date... So, I assume the paperwork has gone through.
I know God is going to rebuild this, that today isn't the end. I have faith in that, but I would be lying if I said it doesn't hurt. If you get a paper cut, you know God is going to heal it, but it still stings.
I have been quiet on here lately, only posting when I feel God is calling me to say something, but know I am praying and thinking about all of you, and your prodigal spouses. God has a greater glory planned than we can even imagine.
Father, I come to you tonight, to thank you, to praise you for the people I get to worship with each and every week. Those in the pews, those in the pulpit, and those on the interweb. Lord, I lift them each and everyone up to you right here tonight. I lift them up in your spirit and in your name, that your glory can rain down on them and reign true in their life. God, I pray for blessings financially, blessings physically, blessings for those hurting and confused, blessings for those battling anger, or addictions, blessings for those hurting and lonely. Provide miraculous healings, provide ways out, provide a guiding light to show them where you would have them go. Lord above all and through all I pray that your will weigh heavy, that you convict hearts, minds, bodies, and souls to your grace and mercy. Father I speak protection, comfort, and strength to your children standing as you have called us. I speak of renewal, and rebuilding. Father all in your time, and by your will, grace, and mercy. Father I ask, speak, and proclaim all of this in your holy name knowing that it is already done, in your power, at your timing. Amen.
I love you all, my brothers and sisters.
"Be still, and know that I am God!"

Erick you are a great example of faith and perseverance, I am 100% sure that God will reward you for not only what you are doing for your family but for what you are doing for us. Thank you for your prayers brother, I have never seen you or don't really know you besides this app but I thank God for your life.

God we ask you to pour out love and comfort and joy over your son Eric. Please fill every moment of every day for him with peace that passes understanding and joy that overflows from his cup. We pray that he would be lifted up by you and in turn can continue to be an outpouring of your love to his family and friends around him. We pray that his wife and step daughter would be reciprocates of that overflowing love and joy. We pray that she would long for the peace and joy that he has because of you and that it would drive her deep into your arms. And that once she has found herself in you, the blinders would be removed and the restoration would begin. Give her a deep painful longing in her soul that is only complete and filled when she feels your love poured out from Eric. Even if it's just a passing glance or smile or wave. Even if it is slow, give Eric the patience and continued joy. Help him to continue planting these seeds and help him see the harvest soon. Please agree with me brothers and sisters on behalf of Eric.

Brother you are in my thoughts and prayers constantly since I read your post. After praying I was thumbing thru Psalms and this excerpt from Psalms stuck out to me and felt I needed to share it with you.
Eric, You are a a rock on this site that speaks with truth, love and wisdom my brother. I wish I had words that could ease the pain you are feeling but there are none to speak that could but know this, I love you brother and will be praying extra for you my friend. Keep your head up & eyes on our Father - God bless you brother..
Psalm 145:13-21
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.

I've been so busy and out of town recently that I'm barely seeing this. I'm sorry Eric but you are right, the Lord will come through. I'll keep lifting you up in my prayers Eric. You are a wonderful man of God, even going through this hard time. That's amazing faith.
