Thank you for trying to put into words the hurt and pain of unexpectedly becoming a Christian single mom. I was so lost that I didn’t even feel God anymore but the prayers and support of my Christian family surrounded me as I simply asked God to hold me because I couldn’t hold Him. That was two years ago and looking back I can see that He indeed did hold me and bring me through. I will always be thankful for the faith and promises spoken to me in those dark hours. My two sons and I continue to cling to our faith as the trials of an angry ex continue to bombard us. We rest in the promises of God that He can make absolutely everything “good”, even when it seems so evil to us.
Thank you again for sharing from your heart. I hear the pain and recognize it, because I too have felt it. God is an amazing healer though, and for that I am thankful.

Thank you for this devotional. As a single mother it is difficult to find Christian material that relates to me. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope that there is more to come!

Bless all of you. We are all on the same journey and experience pain that stops us in our tracks. I am so thankful that God is the Driver and He picks up our pieces and moves us forward. Blessings to all you today in whatever circumstance you find yourself in.

This devotion spoke to my heart this morning as I struggle with letting go of hurts and completely forgiving. I know that God has mighty things ahead for my marriage if I am able to forgive as Christ forgave us. The reminder that God is in control and He has never left my side literally brought a bounce to my step today, thanks for allowing God to use you to remind me of His promises today!

Hi Linda thanks for the devotional. I do not know the title and the author of this poem but it is really powerful. So may I share it here with the Ladies and gents:

He will be
Your candle in the dark
Your fire in the cold
Your strength when you are just too weary
HE will be
Your everlasting love
When this world fades away
with you eternally
HE will be
Let HIM in your heart
The power of HIS love will shelter you
Where ever you may go
You will always know that
HE will be
with you when you’re alone
A friend to share your tears
Someone you can always turn to
HE will be
Your silence in the storm
HE will smile away the rain
Every thing you’ll ever need
Put your trust in HIM
In everything that HE can do
Deep in your soul forever
HE will live in you!
