        Im very depressed
 
My fiance told me last night he is not sure if he wants to get married now. He is no longer in love with me. He says he loves me and wants to be with me. He promised he would never leave me. But I think he is wanting to. He says "wait and see" "give me time" - I feel betrayed and I hurt so bad. I don't know if I can get through another heartache. Part of me died when he told me he doesn't want to come live with me. I have two beautiful girls who are broken up about this too. This has changed so much about my plans. I trusted him and believed him - I wish I could will myself non existant. But thats not possible.

Hello, I am sad for you and hope that you can trust God to bring you out of this depression. I can tell you that for years I got involved with men who did not treat me/care for me as I needed. I was depressed a lot about it and felt that I was just unworthy and unloveable. I see now that my beliefs were not true and that God was waiting for me to let him guide me to one who would truly love me as I deserved. I am now married to a man who loves me so much that I never doubt his love for me. We have 3 children together and I have a stepson too. I was 30 years old when I got married (just when I was about to give up on finding someone). I want to tell you that you are loveable and worthy and that you deserve someone in whom you can trust and believe in. Please pray and be patient. Your daughters are precious, your life is precious and your joy should not be dependent on this man loving you. I know it is hard, but believe me, YOU ARE WORTH IT.

Dear Lord, I lift up with precious lady to you. May you lead her to the man in whom she is to spend her life with according to your will. Bless her two daughters and give this family a peace and joy and let them see how blessed they are to have each other. Lord, in you name, I pray Amen

Dear Sister,
I prayed for you and your situation this morning when I read your request. As I have gone through the day the Lord has put you on my mind over and over again even though I try to think of something else he puts these questions to me over and over again. So at the risk of being kicked off this prayer chain (because all responses are suppose to be uplifting and encouraging)here goes.

Starting at the end and going forward you say.

I wish I could will myself into non existance.
What about your children? Aren't they worth your existance or does this man mean more?

I trusted and believed in him.
I never read a word about God or your personal relationship with him in your entire prayer request. It sounds like your trust and belief are in the wrong place here.

This has changed so much about MY plans.
The Lord has plans for you that are so much more wonderful than anything YOU could ever come up with.

Part of me died when he told me he doesn't want to come live with me. I have two beautiful girls who are broken up about this too.
Was this coming to live with you going to be before you are married with two daughters in the same house?

I feel so betrayed and I hurt so bad. I don't know if I can get through another heartache.
I'm sure that you indeed hurt so bad and I feel for you and share in your pain but the Lord is able and willing to lift all your burdens and pains when he is the main man in your life.

The part before this seems every other sentence is a contradiction. He loves me he loves me not. I really couldn't make out exactly what he said and what you were feeling.

My heart truly does go out to you and your situation. I wnat you to know that I love you and will continue to pray for you and your family but God loves you so much more. I pray that he will lavish you in his love and carry you through this heartache and into a closer relationship with him. I pray that he will reveal himself and his plans for your life in new and wonderful ways as you grow closer to him. I pray that both of your daughters will be blessed abundantly. If there is anything in this situation that is not pleasing to God I pray that he will reveal it so it can be dealt with.

Dear sister,

I have been in your shoes. In fact, he said that same thing, that he doesn't love me anymore and that he was seeing someone else. I also felt that I've lost control of my life, but at this time, God just couldn't be closer. God has really brought me out of this from glory to glory. I have reached a new level of intimacy with God and God has given me so much. It's not easy to see it now, but I can tell you one thing ... God is faithful. He is faithful to us. He will never fail us nor forsake us. You are worthy and you are the apple of His eye. You may not understand everything now, but believe me, if your fiancee can leave you for someone else, he is not worth you keeping him. No one is more important than God. No one!

Place your trust in God and in due time, you will see His plans unfold. He is a restorer. If you feel that you have lost something in this relationship, let me tell you something that God tells His people:

[Joel 2:25,26]
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Hey, don't limit the vision of your life to this one man. God is not that small and His plans for you will not be confined to only one man. Enlarge the borders of your heart and ask God to show you something greater in your life.

I've seen God coming through for many with broken relationships. He is a God of great reversal. Find your joy in Him and put your trust in Him. Draw closer to Him at this time and He will bring you to greater heights. New things can be birthed in your life if you learn to see things in a different light.

Let me pray for you now.

Father in Heaven,

Jesus, You have gone through everything that we have gone through. You are not a God who does not understand. When all else seems to be breaking apart, yet, we know that You are still in control. You will not let us go. I pray for this sister here that she will be able to taste of more of Your love and she will learn to wrap herself in Your love as Your hands are always extended to us. Lord, I pray that You remove every kind of bitterness and show her Your ways Lord. Let her put her trust in You and I know that things will work out for good for her because You are a faithful God.

I commit her into Your hands.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Dear sister,
The Lord says "For your Maker is your husband-- the LORD Almighty is his name-- the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit-- a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God."
You hold a special place in God's heart. Earthly husband may fail you, but your Father in Heaven shall be your Redeemer. Look to Jesus. You were bought with a price. The price of the life of God Himself. He shed His blood so that you might become whole and enjoy life abundantly. Your life is not cheap. God gave up His so that you can have yours abundantly. Treasure the sacrifice that Jesus have done. After all, who else would be willing to die for us? Our parents, brothers, husbands, wives? Truly none, by reasoning of their minds, except God Himself.
If you are willing to give up on life just because of this man that claims he loves you, then search deeper into your existance again and look for God. Truly nothing else matter in the end. Why did God died for us and ask us to live an abundant life?
If we live our lives centering upon certain things to the extent that our existance depend on those certain things, then don't you think those certain things should be our gods? Sister, you have your whole life ahead of you. Fulfill the plans that the Lord has already in store for you. Run with the vision that God has given you. Finish the race and be proud of yourself. When we look back, isn't it nice to be able to say "Ahh, it's a good fight. It's a good race. I accomplished much with His plans, through His grace, for His glory."
There's no need for death when normal men doesn't want to live with you. As long as Jesus, the beautiful Redeemer and the Almighty God lives with you. That's what matters. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in you and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Let me pray for you now:
Father, I thank You for this sister here and Lord you know the desires of her heart and the hardships she's facing. Father, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, that you amplified Your presence in her life right now and be real to her every moment of her life. Give her the strength she needs to break through. Give her totally new fuel when her fuel is running low. Let your angels encamp round about her to minister and protect her in Jesus's name. Teach her Lord how to refocus on You and the things that will make her grow in spirit, soul and body. I pray all these in Jesus's name.
