I have a life long relationship that has been severed for no good reason. There seems to be nothing I can do to mend it, I've tried. I seem to get to learn to live with a broken relationship. What an amazing pain. I thank God that he is "close to the broken hearted".
I pray to you O' Lord that you would help me to suffer wisely and with understanding. Help me also to maintain my love in the midst of this.
The world mocks at love given freely in response to the back-breaking whips of an oppressor. They laugh at the believer praying for his tormentors as oil is poured on his firewood. But somehow to the faithful one, if they are willing, God can strengthen them to love and pray for those who hurt them.
"If the world hates you keep in mind that it hated me first..." - Jesus
Lord, "wounds from a friend can be trusted". I trust these wounds, however painful, you have allowed in my life at this time. I know you teach us much through these times and you refine us. I hope in you. Do your work in me. Let your will be done to me, through me, and in me.

Brian, God is taking care of your every need. He has given me scripture to give to you: Ephesians6:10-20. Every morning as you dress put on this armor. We are in the last days and we need to be prepared. In Christs Love, Grace
