Feeling Isolated

[chriserac]

Hi. I'm new to the board. I'm currently in the middle stages of a divorce. It was put on my heart to continue to seek peace by through Him. The events of the last 8 months have really been trying for me, but I have continued to stay grounded in the Word and am looking to get rooted in a new church home.

I come to this board looking for new friendships in the Lord and to also find encouragement where there has been none from my own family and friends. I'm not going to bore everyone with the details of my issues, but just know you have another brother in Christ that needs prayer and an objective ear.

Be blessed and praise Him.

Hi, new friend. I'm sorry for all you've been through. Rest assured that many of us have been in very painful situations as well. I hope you are able to find a great new fellowship at home where you can be encouraged & uplifted, as well as have the opportunity to help others.

So, welcome!

Thank you for the response and God bless. I look forward to meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ here in my new location. I see others are hurting as well. I hope to be a testimony to someone else someday.

But do tell. The testimony is power friend! Even if the marriage ended, YOU didnt end. That's power! How did you overcome the pit of hurt? I know that pit....its a killer, sometimes literally and especially for men as the suicide rate skyrockets for men who are divorced.
There is power in survival, and thriving.

I'm new to this board, too. I'm also feeling very isolated but know the importance of clinging to the only Truth there is. I may be posting lots more in the days and weeks to come. I feel as though I'm at the end of my rope where my marriage is concerned and hope that by reaching out to nameless, faceless brothers and sisters in Christ, I may find some strength. We all need to guard our hearts in times like this - our enemy is always watching for opportunities to prey on our vulnerabilities. Anyway...not sure what my point is other than to let you know that you're not alone.

I'm praying for you. I know you'll find strength when you least expect it.

Welcome... keep sharing this is a great place for fellowship and understanding.. sorry for your hurts but well done for staying strong in GOD.. bless you.. I couldn't go through all this without HIM.. I too hope soon to find a different church family... I will pray for you and hope as the days go by you receive all you need...

I, too, am new here, and it seems as if we're in the same boat. I haven't quite entered the divorce phase yet, but it appears, unless the Lord intervenes, inevitable. I sense the tone in your words to be painful. I'm sorry for the things you're encountering right now. I mean that sincerely. Just know that there are people here to love on you and support you, brother. In time, if you're comfortable, maybe then you can share your story. I am praying for you.

Hi everyone. I appreciate a thread like this because I feel terribly isolated due to my divorce recovery from breast cancer and single motherhood ( all at the age of 34) . My friends and family cant relate, and the folks at church don't know how to take me. I am hoping I can connect with others here that may understand.
