The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

I don't know where to start here. Basically my life is in complete turmoil. After loosing my father to an infection in his aeorta 2 years ago, all i have had left is God and my family. Well I have recently uncovered some proof that my significant other is possibly cheating on me. Things have just gone from bad to worse. This comes while I am working hard in college to get my associates degree. I have prayed hard for God to give me the strength to release this into his hands. It is so difficult for me to do with this eating away at my insides the way it is. I have never felt so alone. My family is all I have left. Loosing them would truely mean I am alone. I struggle daily to keep the faith. I still have it, but with each passing day, it gets harder and harder. I try not to be vengeful because God said vengance is his. I know this is Satan ruining my life. I hate him for it. I just feel helpless right now. And I'm so tired of crying.

Steve,
I'm so sorry for the pain you are going through.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God, but it can feel that way when things are so bad.
You probably need to get clarity on whether cheating is happening or not. If you are wrong then things are better, and if you are right then you need to know. You said "significant other," not wife, so it is hard to give much more advice -- since I am not sure you can be cheated on by someone you are not married to.
I will pray for you.

Sorry to hear about your pain. I pray the Lord will comfort you with fellow Christians that may offer you godly advice. Have you sought your pastor in this matter for assistance? The semester is almost over for you, so I hope you can stay focused on your studies as you struggle through this trying time.

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22
