help getting through the heartbreak of deception

this is is a very personal request, but it is worth it to share at this time. ten months ago i met a man that i soon after fell in love with. after months together, and five more months of talking things out and being lead to believe there was true hope, i've very recently learned that he had been cheating on me with another woman the entire five months we were together. he and i, for most of those months, did not have a physical relationship because i wanted to be sure he was the right person. to find out now that my first memories of being with someone i love have been forever tainted... i can't get through it alone. i am desperate for the will to forgive him for lying to me and destroying what we shared, because i know very well that if i can't, the pain of being so deceived by someone i have truly loved will eat away at my will to go on.

so i ask--please, pray that i will find the will and a way to forgive this man and the woman he has hurt me with, so that i can move on and find greater happiness. because right now, i must be honest, i can't find any will. i am struggling very hard.

Update - 6 months ago:

for the first time since learning of his deception, i woke up and it wasn't what came to me first. the bright sky and the hope that God was there for me was all around me. i just hope the rest of my day goes as well. no, i hope it will go even better.

Update - 6 months ago:

i am not doing so well. i received a letter in the post from johannes that he had sent the day before i learned the truth. i can't recognise the truth from the lies, and i am afraid that every word he says is manipulated to be what he believes i want to hear. he writes of love and hope and respect for me, reminding me of the special connection we've shared ever since meeting.

i feel weak and very low. i can't get all of the ways i saw hints of his deception over the months--things i ignored because i wanted to trust him--out of my mind.

Update - 6 months ago:

i realised tonight that it is possible to forgive him. i can see that one day i will be able to think of him without it bringing up a painful memory. i just hope so much that that day comes soon.

Update - 6 months ago:

i have resentment in my heart, but i also see that if i can let go of the pain and forgive him -- because i love myself and him -- i will only be opening my heart up to good things. if one day he and i heal our relationship, it will be because God had it planned that way, and if he and i never mend what now hurts so badly, at least i won't have spent my time holding on to someone who cared too little too late.

Lord I stand in agreement with her prayers and I ask you to bring healing, strength, comfort, guidance and hope to her and to bring her to forgive and get well from this. Please grant her clarity and show her your plans for her. God bless you and I am so sorry this happened to you. amen

godisintherain - 6 months ago: thank you. it's very hard to forgive because i have to dig very deep to try and find understanding. every day i think i understand a little more, but still it is not easy, because i loved -- love -- him very much and am struggling between moments of complete forgiveness and moments of wanting to strike him. i know it's not me who should take any kind of revenge, but it's hard to keep it out of my mind. it's in those moments that i come here and read the prayers prayed for me. thank you. i've needed every one of them, and i'm touched by every gesture of love.

Dear Lord, mindful of Your understanding and compassion, please heal the painful memories which continue to affect the life of your child Godisintherain, particularly the memory of deceit and failed relationship.

With your love and guidance, I know she can move ahead with her life and begin the steps however small they may seem to be-- to recover in mind, body and spirit. Amen

godisintherain - 6 months ago: the word "failed" has triggered something deep and sad inside of me. that it was said in a prayer, though, makes it ten times gentler and safer than if i'd heard it elsewhere. thank you for your prayer, it's beautiful.

Heavenly Father, help your daughter to get past the pain that is in her heart. You know what she is feeling, you can see inside her heart her soul and her mind and you know the devastation this deception has caused her. Lord help her to give this pain to you, to find a way to let it go so she can forgive this man and move on. God we know that there is nothing we cannot ask of you, you see our troubles our heartbreak and all our sorrows. Lord guide her when she is feeling crushed and unsure of what to do next. Lord even as we are forgiven she knows we must forgive to continue to stand in your glory. Give her strength to do so and find the happiness you have for her. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for your goodness and mercy.

godisintherain - 6 months ago: thank you so much for your beautiful prayer, deb. it means a lot to me, and i can feel your own understanding through the words of your prayer. you asked that i give the pain to him--and sometimes, when it's really bad, i do. i take my hands and cup them to my heart, then lift what is in my hands to God in the hope that he will literally take from me a small splinter of the pain.

godisintherain - 6 months ago: thank you for your prayer, beth. more than anything, right now, i'd like to move on and fall out of love so that i can be open to who God truly has for me. someone, i know, who would never sacrifice another human being's heart for his own pride.

Mark 11: 25 "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins."
Dear Almighty I ask you to please in the name of Jesus to heal her heart that has been broken in pieces and restore it the way you can do it because you are the only one who can do it perfect; the perfect way, because you love her. Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Amen.

godisintherain - 6 months ago: those verses are just what i needed to see to be reminded of the fact that God is so much stronger than i am. if i can't do it, He can. thank you.
