eelips,
If you haven’t heard of the Desiderata before, I suggest you read it. Unfortunately, it is not scriptural.

Also, it helps to take a look at the pro-life anti-abortion anti-euthansia threads.
Stop pondering.
Look up the blue pages.
Pick up the phone.
Call your local rectory or
Catholic charity relief center.
Find a social worker,
psychologist, psychiatrist,
or behavioral health / mental health specialist.
Put your pain before the Blessed Sacrament. God knows the pain He can give, and He will never give you more than you can ever handle.
For example, Habakuk was an example of the Lord’s love for His people. The more the Lord was hurt by His people, He still forgave. He instructed Habakuk to do the same: forgive and start over. We can apply that as to not only forgiving our spouses, but our neighbors as well as ourselves.
Check out
Psalm 77.
AND DON’T EVER FORGET that God knew you before you were born, in the womb, and has a plan for you: “
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose.” Jeremiah 1:5
So stop pondering and take the graces and resources the Lord has set before you.
In His love,
Mis
