Thanks - Ersteele5 - 10-16-2011 09:23 PM
So I have been posting prayer requests for my relationship over the past month or so and we have definitely had ups and downs and more tears that I can imagine. However I do have to say that after splitting up we have both relied on each other because we have both felt so sad, lonely and depressed. I 100% want this relationship to wrok but he felt unhappy and left the relationship. While we are still apart he let me take him and his daughters to dinner tonight and I couldn't have had a better time. We both smiled so much and laughed and had such a wonderful time I thought. I think I probably read too much into it but it was like when we were first dating. I had a wonderful time. I thank you all for all your prayers and thank God for giving me the peace and strength to make it through dinner. The dinner ended with hugs galore from the girls and even a couple hugs from him. I don't want to make something out of nothing but I am still so in love with him and I would like to think that my prayers that his heart will be softened and he can start to find his love for me again. I ask for continued prayers that in his time away he will continue to think of me, to miss me and to find his love for me again. I pray for continued prayers that I can stall calm and find patience. I pray and pray everyday about this and while I rejoice that we had a nice time and seem to be connecting again, I am fearful that I am making something out of nothing. I thank you all for the prayers and advice I have received thus far and appreciate that you all have been here for me. I just pray that I'm not getting my hopes up unecessarily. While we seem to take two steps forward I am still so nervous that I am making more out of everything and I am afraid to build things up and then get hurt again. I believe God is answering all my prayers and helping set us up to rebuild what we had. I pray that this doubt that I have and fear that I am making something out of nothing will pass. I continue to pray in your name Lord that Ben will fine his love for me and want to work on reconciling our relationship. I pray that he will be receptive to dating each other and rebuilding our friendship and love. I just continue to pray in your name Lord that you will continue to help Ben and I have those happy moments with each other. In your name I pray that he will continue to contact me and to reach out to me and build our love up again. Thank you for any continued prayers for us and for all the prayers thus far.

Thank you all for the prayers. I struggle with patience some days. I want so badly for him to find his love for me again and seek reconcilation with me. I pray for patience and strength that I can do better about not hashing over everything all day. I continue to pray that he will find his love for me again and will accept that he misses me and reach out more to connect with me in hopes of reconcilation. Thank you all for continued prayers and thank you Lord for comforting me and being with me through all this thus far. Amen

God the Father is working in him to reconcile back to his estranged wife. Your doubt that you're feeling is from the Holy Spirit to tell you not to put your hopes up because God is working something different from your wishes. I don't want to disappoint your "wants" but it is God who can do anything without our help. God is looking after his daughter who is deeply wounded and hurt and she wants her parents to be together again. This girl has been praying in her closet talking to God. She is an old soul.

Father God, YOU know what is best for Ersteel5. You know what Ben needs to do as well. Father God please help both these people to seek and really seek YOUR WILL, and not their fleshly desires. Often you call people to be apart, to work on things, to fix them and then to put together.
If this man is still married, he needs to return to his wife for the bible is clear on this. He is not to be in a relationship with another woman. Ersteele5 is too precious to have to share a man. AMEN.

I want to thank you all for you continued prayers. I write on here not only for prayers but it helps me to write my thoughts out as well. It seems when I am not praying myself about this I am thinking about it as it has taken over my mind an my life. I thank you all for your prayers though it seems there might be some confusion. We are not married. He is divorced and has two girls. Overthe two years we dated I accepted the girls in as if they were my own and did everything I could to try to give him and his girls a wonderful happy life. Even now I find myself picking out outfits and new toys for them. While we stay in contact and have even seen each other a couple times I still don't know what to male of it all. I pray and pray and pray and God answers and he will reach out to me in some way. I know my prayers are heard so I am greatful for that. I continue to pray in Jesus name that you would give me the patience and strength to go through all this. I pray that you take any jealousy that creeps into my kind away. It creeps in and destroys my heart and mind. In Jesus name I pray that you give Ben the guidance to find his love me and to realize how much I meanto him and the girls. Give him the strength to be able to put any pride aside and to just reach out to me to tell me his true feelings. Have him find it in him to accept his love for me. Help him to realize that this "single life," isn't what he wants. I pray that he realizes that he needs to keep he and his girls beat interest at heart and find stability not only for them but for himself. Help him to realize my love for the three of them and help him to realize there aren't many people that will step in to his situation. Help him to realize hoe important to him and the girls I am. Lord I pray that Ben cam find his love for me again and accept it. Lord don't let him ignore all these emotions anymore. Father help him to realize that sometimes weaken and you take the other for granted bit it doesn't mean that all is lost and you have to give up. Lord help him to realize how much I love him still and how much he loves me as well. Lord touch his heart and help him to realize that it isn't time to give up on is yet. Give him the strength to be able to accept that and to reach out to me to let me know he feels the same and wants to date me again. Lord help him to realize how much I mean to him and have him take the steps to work on us again. Lord with all this I pray that you give me the patience to realize you are working on this and the strength to getout of bed and be the person he fell in love with. Lord help him and guide him to find his love for me. I know it's in him still and I just pray you help him accept his love for me and our life and take the steps to reach out and reconcile. In Jesus name I pray all these things. Amen.
