Friends,
First I want to say thank you to you all for all the amazing examples of faith and strength I have found on this website.
Secondly I am asking for help through prayer. Through my own sin and selfishness I have lost someone very close to me. It took losing her to realize the errors I was making in life and make some drastic changes. I have since then returned to the sacraments of reconciliation and the Eucharist. I know God is changing my life for the better and it feels good to know him again. I am still however, holding on to hope that my relationship with this woman can be salvaged, as I have such an intense love for her. I have been praying Novenas and so far God has not given me a yes to my prayers. I feel like he might be giving me a wait though. It is just very hard to tell when you are getting a wait, and when you are getting a no. Something has been causing me to hold on to hope but I dont know if those are my own desires getting in the way of God’s message for me.
I am asking for prayers that my ex may find forgiveness in her heart and that we be reunited. Or that God shows me his plan. I am an emotional mess right now going through constant periods of strength and despair. Any prayers or advice that anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
 
Praying for your piece of mind and that God will continue to guide you and bring you closer to Him.

*Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. *
 
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
 
Lord, please heal Pete’s relationship with his friend and help them to love each other with true Christian love. Help them to work on their problems, and help them to forgive and live holy lives together. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

Thank you all so much! The support that people show each other through prayer litterally brings me to tears when I think about it. You are beautiful people!

Today is day 5 of the current novena I am praying. I have started to think about an individuals free will. God does not impose on that…at least that is my understanding. But he does have the power to change someones heart doesnt he? Through revelation or someway? I just worry that if she is unwilling to forgive me, that is her free will to do so. Its very confusing to me, but I will continue to pray with faith. :confused:

Greetings Pete44,

You are right God will not impose on an individual’s free will. He does have the power to change someone’s heart, but only if that person is willing to cooperate with his graces. His graces are infinite.

I will continue to pray for you.

God Bless.

Amen.

Pete, continue to trust in the Lord. I know from my own experience that it can be difficult to discern what the answers to prayer may be; however, the answer will become clear to you.

Dear Lord, please give Pete patience and calm his heart and mind so that he can know you are at work in his life.
 
Thank you all again so much for your continued prayers and support. They give me strength. I know God will continue to work in my life, and I as well, have a lot of work to do on myself. I am honestly starting to accept the fact that we will probably never be together again. I am still going to complete the Novena that I am saying for that intention but that is all I can do. After that it is in Gods hands. I just have to pray that his will be done in my life. John, chapter 15 has helped me a lot to accept things as they are.

Thank you all for your prayers during this time. Today is the last day of my novena, and unfortunately I dont feel any closer to any answers. This has been an incredibly frustrating process but I will continue to pray and ask God to work in my life. Sometimes it feels like I am praying in an empty room and my words arent heard by anyone but me.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
