Friend, I am so sorry you are going through the pain of your wife leaving you. It’s good that you are honest with that pain and your words sound like a genuine cry from your heart. That raw honesty is the best way to pray. If you are Catholic, I would encourage you to go to God in an adoration chapel and let your heart speak honestly with him the way you have here. Similar to me, God weeps with you. But unlike me, He can do something with your pain. I’ve found in my own struggle after loosing a child, that God isn’t a genie that removes our pain (Sat times I wish He would). But He instead transforms into something good when we surrender it to him. It’s a mystery but so amazing. Here is a video that I found really helpful in understand this mystery. I will pray for peace for you and encourage anyone else reading this to do the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn-yhYhnnJWNbtksi=kE1kXSCMVnDuB7pX

@@armadillo44video Thank you for your kindness and I'm terribly sorry for your loss. ♥️ Prior to divorce, my wife and I experienced a miscarriage and that was difficult enough--I cannot imagine the pain you must have experienced/continue to experience and my heart goes out to you. I watched the video and it made good sense. I am truly tired of hearing people repeat the same platitude of, "It's part of God's plan", so I appreciated the genuineness of addressing that in the video. I have but one question, though: if God grants us our free will and independence at the expense of not interfering benevolently in earthly affairs, what is the purpose of prayer if God will not intervene? As a lifelong Lutheran, I've never truly understood that and I think that's what I struggle with currently.

@@fourierxfm actually the child we lost was a miscarriage as well (sorry for the confusion by my leaving that detail out previously). It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. My wife ended up delivering our little boy after he died and we were a ways along and we held his perfect little body as we said hello and good buy all at once. My heart knows this pain well and I’m so sorry a similar loss has been part of your journey. Your question about prayer is a good one and one I have wrestled with h as well. I’m no theologian but did a short video with my thoughts on it a while back. Here’s that link if it helps. kzbin.infoX-XW_ICPX80?si=-SO0Wy8FASIT7nZz Was looking for a more in depth answer last night as well and thought this was helpful too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moOnYaV9oq-Eh6csi=wF_a9dpWqGyP9xgU An additionally to consider is that I think it’s incorrect to say that God doesn’t intervene in our lives. One of the beautiful things of our Christian faith is actually that we have a God who is not far away and uninterested in us, but a God who makes us His children and is intimately involved in our lives. Most of the time He intervenes through natural ways in the world around us but there are also times He does something supernatural (what we might consider a miracle… though I might argue that working through people and things in this world is just as much a miracle and perhaps more amazing). Of course like any good parent, His answer when we ask for something, isn’t always yes (and He respects our Free Will so won’t force us or anyone else against our will). And he does allow suffering which is a mystery. I trust He never does this without a way to make that suffering bring about a greater good but I definitely can’t pretend to always understand it. Someone once said if we could understood everything about God, then He wouldn’t be God. Continue to seek truth and don’t loose hope. I will continue to pray you encounter God’s blessing and peace

lol I’ve never thought of that and haven’t watched that show in forever. Might have to dust it off and watch a few episodes again. A lot of it is pretty funny stuff

@@elizabethmoldenhauer1940 Thanks Elizabeth. I really do appreciate the prayers and am excited for the next chapter God has planned

@armadillo44video Me too.... we have been on a comparable journey, and where it led us was and is exactly where God was leading each time.

@@backwardinary good luck, I hope it works for you. I always think simple solutions are the best ones

Did it work?😊

Hey there! Sorry for the delay, it took them a while to deliver it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me, but it worths a try, since it’s the simplest solution for this problem. Thanks again for your attention!

@@backwardinary sorry it didn’t work for your case. There must be something else going on as well then. If you find a solution to your issue please share as you are probably not alone. Good luck.

@@armadillo44video sure, I’ll let you know when it’s solved 🙌 It’s prolly a short circuit

Peace to you my fellow believer in Christ and AMEN to Christ being our mediator. You may misunderstand the rosary. Its really a deep scripture based meditation that helps us ponder the mysteries of Christ's life and God's work of salvation through Him. The beads and repetition of prayers are simply the "rhythm under the music" as we meditate on Jesus life and our part in His plan. It's a beautiful way to pray and grow closer to our Savior.

So sorry you lost your son. I lost a son as well a few years back and that is a terrible pain. But God is the master at bringing good even from the worst situations. I’ve seen it time and time again and yet trusting him is still something I’m working on. Blessings and peace to you in your journey.

@@armadillo44video I didn’t lose Casey, I know Who has him I also trust God to fix this Broken mental healthcare system, knowing that He full well can if he chooses, because humanity certainly doesn’t care and wouldn’t, even if Casey died right before their eyes.

@@armadillo44video actually God is the Only One who can
