My husband and I are getting divorced. He is physically and mentally ill but I cannot stay with him as he is abusive towards our daughter. He continues to make choices that increase everyone's suffering, including his own. I feel very sad but I can't fix him...hoped for years in vain that he would get better. Please pray for this sad situation.
You know, I too struggle with mental illness: in a way, the big deal was to able to see it as a sort of funny blessing, as a challenge... I hope your husband crawls his way in that direction. As for you, I am not sure if you ever heard about the "serenity prayer". have you? I learned it on 12 steps groups. It goes like this: "(whoever, may be God), grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those I can and the wisdom to know the difference".
Cheers
Dear Susan,
I hope that the path ahead since your divorce is clearer. Keep this pray close to you for it never fails and the Lord God will never abandon nor forsake either your loved ones or you -
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life's refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
One thing I ask of the Lord;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord
and contemplate his temple.
Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call;
have pity on me, and answer me.
Of you my heart speaks;
you my glance seeks;
your presence, O Lord, I seek. Psalm 27
Best regards and my prays are with you.
