Why does God allow innocent people to suffer?
(suffering of the guilty is due to their own sin
suffering of the innocent is due to sins of others)
  • Free Will (God respects our freedom that much)
  • suffering is consequence of free will / choice to sin
    Your husband is choosing his way of life God cannot make him faithful
    and treat you fairly,your husband has to decide for himself.
Prayer in Time of Suffering
Behold me, my beloved Jesus,
weighed down under the burden of my trials and sufferings,
I cast myself at Your feet,
that You may renew my strength and my courage,
while I rest here in Your Presence.
Permit me to lay down my cross in Your Sacred Heart,
for only Your infinite goodness can sustain me;
only Your love can help me bear my cross;
only Your powerful hand can lighten its weight.
O Divine King, Jesus,
whose heart is so compassionate to the afflicted,
I wish to live in You;
suffer and die in You.
During my life be to me my model and my support;
At the hour of my death,
be my hope and my refuge.

Amen.
 
Dear Friends,
I desparately ask you to pray for my marriage that it can be restored. Amen.

I know the implications of separation can be so devastating to children and I dont want my child going through this unnecessarily.

Please, I ask from the bottom of my heart please!

Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hollowed be thy name
Thy kingdom 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

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil

Amen

Prayer for Gods Guidance
Father in Heaven,
You made me Your child
and called me to walk in the Light of Christ.
Free me from darkness
and keep me in the Light of Your Truth.
The Light of Jesus has scattered
the darkness of hatred and sin.
Called to that Light,
I ask for Your guidance.
Form my life in Your Truth,
my heart in Your Love.
Through the Holy Eucharist,
give me the power of Your Grace
that I may walk in the Light of Jesus
and serve Him faithfully.
Amen
 
Asking for continued prayers that Steve will open his heart and want to restore our marriage.
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end

Amen
 
Give me O Lord, I pray Thee
firm faith, unwavering hope
perfect charity.
Pour into my heart
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding
the Spirit of counsel and spiritual strength
the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness
and the Spirit of Thy holy fear
Light eternal, shine in my heart
Power eternal, deliver me from evil
Wisdom eternal, scatter the darkness of my ignorance
Might eternal, pity me
Grant that I may ever seek Thy face
with all my heart and soul and strength;
and, in thine infinite mercy,
bring me at last to Thy holy presence
where I shall behold Thy glory
and possess Thy promised joys

Praying for you two as well.

Something I’d like to share that might help. Nothing is gained in a heated argument, when it becomes flared, you have to discipline yourself to stand outside of it, including your emotional state, and not allow Steve to get you riled up, at least do not show that you are. It’s about reaction that he’s trying for, and failing to react, remaining calm, not reciprocating the insults, will diffuse the emotional attacks. Think of it this way, a child stomps their feet in a temper tantrum, you as the adult are not going to get riled up do to it, it’s the childs fault for letting their temper get the best of them, you cannot come down to their level, otherwise it becomes a battle of wills, and who has the bigger temper. As the parent, you calmly tell them to quiet down, and if they don’t there will be repercussions. You do not react emotionally when you punish them, nor do you play their game. In this case, you are no longer playing his game, and you will find that his inability to push your buttons will cause him a little frustration at first, but he’ll get the point and see that he can no longer get you all worked up any more.

Back to the child reference, if you gave in to their demands every time they had a tantrum, you are teaching them they will get their way only if they have a fit, if they realize it gets them nowhere, they stop using those tactics. It will not be easy at first, but once you start to see things change, you’ll realize you are on the right path, and to keep it up, eventually things will smooth out because they do get the point, that what they are doing no longer works.
This is what I am currently doing.
 
O my God, I know that you love me. And I know that you want me to be happy, safe and secure, But sometimes it’s so hard to find you in all my troubles. I know that there are many people worse off than me, But please help me with my problems. I’m so worried, God. Please help me find the support I need. Please help me not to worry too much. Please help me to be humble enough to accept help from others. Please help me to stay away from the “what ifs” and the “if onlys.” Please help me to remember to help others, even when I still need help. And please help me to trust in your loving kindness, your care and your grace. Because I know that you love me, and you know that I love you. And if all you want to give me right now is your love, Please let that be enough for me. Amen.
