Prayer Request
In my attempts to try and piece back together what's left of my marriage, I thought was on the right path, turns our I wasn't. Everything I try, everything I say, doesn't seem to matter. I attempted to ask local pastors for help with guidance and they told me they won't counsel someone like me, they were friends with my wife. I've got no one in my corner, no one cares. I thought God would use those pastors to help me, seeing I suggested them to my wife for help. But they didn't have kind words to say. I pray and pray and seem to fall further away. I'm lost.

There are people who care for you and will be praying for you. Try to find a pastor who doesn't know your wife. I believe Catholic Community Services still offers counseling, and you don't have to be Catholic to get help. Frania offered a beautiful prayer for you. I couldn't say it any better, so I will be offering that same prayer for you as well. Things may seem hopeless right now, but life never stays the same very long, so things will change. No matter the outcome, you will not be alone, and the Lord will make your life happy again. I was devastated when my first husband was abusive and also cheated on me. The divorce was difficult to get through. I raised my 2 sons alone for 8 years. That was my choice because I wanted to give them stability. When my older son was in his senior year of high school, I met a guy I had a crush on in high school. We eventually got married and were married for 28 years when he passed away in 2019. I'm not saying your marriage will end in divorce; I just wanted to use my life as an example that the Lord never leaves us alone, no matter what we're going through. He got me through SO many rough times raising my sons when I was up against a brick wall. Please trust that He will be with you as well.
Thank you. And I'm sorry for your loss.
Yes,, great advice.. CCS help individuals develop solutions for dealing with life’s stresses and uncertainties and improving the quality of their lives and relationships.
God, we bring Ryan before You with honesty and humility.
You see the weight he carries, the heartbreak he’s trying to mend, and the hope he keeps reaching for even when everything around him feels like it’s slipping away. Wrap him in Your presence tonight — not with judgment, but with the compassion only You can give. Lord, Ryan has tried to rebuild what is broken, and every step seems to fall apart beneath him. He feels unheard, unseen, and pushed aside by the very people he hoped would guide him.
Where human support has failed him, we ask that Your comfort would rise up stronger than every disappointment. Let him know that he is not alone, not abandoned, not forgotten. Speak to him in a way he cannot miss.
Show him that even when others turn him away, You never do.
You are the God who meets people in their lowest places and lifts them back to their feet. Strengthen his heart, Lord. Give him clarity where he feels lost, peace where he feels overwhelmed, and hope where he feels defeated.
Guide his steps — not just in his marriage, but in his healing, his identity, and his future. Help him see that his worth is not defined by the opinions of others, but by Your love for him. Surround him with people who will speak truth, kindness, and wisdom into his life.
Let this season of confusion become a turning point toward clarity, healing, and renewal.
Amen
Thank you so much.
