Gentleman , I have failed , I have sinned . My whole life is gone. My wife is filing for divorce , it's been on going for 3 years . I sinned and should not have done what I did . I am at my lowest point in life . I am asking for some super strong prayers for me and my family. My youngest son tells me he hates me, and to get out of his life . My wife tells me to get out . There are 2 sides to every story , but she has told one , which leaves me the bad one. I am lost , I have sinned , and ask for prayers for my family and for strength . My life is ruined . So please say a prayer for my family and me, even though my marriage is over , I need prayers.

I will pray for you and your family, I have been where your at now and can tell you with certainty your life is not over. Time and prayer heals all wounds. I prayed then and saved my marriage of 38 years. I was at the lowest low anyone could be at. I also sinned but repented and so can you. Praying for you now.

Thank you very much. I talked with some friends who I had not talked with for a couple of years , but their door was always open . Last night I went to them, and they sat with me and prayed with me , talked to me and told me that God has a plan , I need to find that direction and focus on God , then the rest will come. Now days families go through so much , we had stopped going to church from every Sunday to maybe 3 times a year. Sad , very sad . I have asked God for forgiveness, and need to follow through and go back to church , pray that the hurt and anger I have right now be lifted off my chest , and that God will heal the hurt and pain I am suffering. It's hard as a man to admit to the public on here that he has sinned , one thing I have learned on here is that no matter what , the spiritual brothers on here will not judge me, or condemn me, but pray for me and with me to help heal the pain and suffering I am going through. We are ALL Human, we are all sinners , God made us that way and we will fall, but God will lift us up if we truly ask for it. Thank you and please continue to pray for me and my family.

You have 5000 brothers and sisters on this forum who will be there without judging you. Remember the story told in the bible about Jesus being challenged to condemn the woman who sinned, he said he who is without sin cast the first stone, nobody here is throwing stones, just praying for you and yours.

Never going to be a better time for a fresh start on life than today brother.
This is why I always say morn the dead but PRAY FOR THE LIVING. You are alive. I presume you have your health. God still has work for you. Get on it like you mean it.

Thank you for your public confession. It is not easy, but it means a lot to others. God can use it to help others to be more open, and possibly help others avoid the pitfalls we traverse around daily.
We have all sinned and fallen short. We may have different weaknesses, but we can all relate.
Psalm 94:18-19 If I say, "My foot slips," Your mercy, O Lord will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
He will always forgive us, but there are consequences to our sin. However, God can still bring blessings from the messes we get ourselves into. We all know King David's sins and there was a consequence, but God blessed that union with the next king in Solomon.
He still loves you more than any human could ever. And, for whom much is forgiven, great is the thankfulness appreciation and loyalty.
Father, we know the molding process can be very painful. Use this opportunity to get our brother prepared for things you have for him, the things that will bring you Glory from our failures and broken hearts.

Divorce is NEVER 100% one person's fault, never.
These pitfalls that we face, dodge and sometimes yield to are ever present. If we give the evil ones a crack in the door, they will come barging in ...and they know our weaknesses. We must always be on guard by putting on the full armor of God daily. No one goes into a battle without dressing for it. We read that we are in a daily battle, one not so obvious to our human senses.
We can blind ourselves to what others may see, justify a small infraction or the seemingly innocent, but these are openings leaving us vulnerable to a full on assault.
We are God's greatest creation, and the evil ones desire to totally destroy us. How can we go into any battle with a sack over our heads and win? We cannot fight what we cannot see; we'll be pummeled. We must be aware of the battle that we are in. We must know our weaknesses and where our strength comes from. We must recognize the lies and deceptions of the evil ones, and the lies we tell ourselves.
I mentioned recently that I screen everything through a spiritual filter, my thoughts, motives, the things that come my way. My desire is to please the Lord, by doing his will, praise him as he desires in spirit and in truth, and take the victory over sin that he has already given me.
We are solders; we are in a battle. When our brother goes down, we pick him up. We don't pick him up and beat on him; we carry him as long as he needs it.

Thank you ALL, it is very difficult time and very trying. We have not been going to church for a long time , just maybe 3 times this year , but what was weird , was the HR person, when I was talking to her, told me the last thing , she said I don't know if you go to church , but if you do , you need to pray for Brian , and get Brian back straight. When I went a friend of mine and my wife's house . They both told me that was God already talking to me . That she would not have said that due to policies , but that was God saying to get my life in line with God. So I will start going back to church this weekend , I have never stopped believing in God , just stoped going to church. So this may be good and Gods way to save me , and rekindle my live for God and live the Holy Spirit within me. I thank you all, and I really need your words of encouragement. I would never have confessed this publicaly , but knew my brothers and sisters in this forum , and this forum alone would not judge , but help and pray for me. Thank you

Thank you all for your prayers and comments . This has been the lowest I have felt , I keep praying , because I know if I do not trust God , that he will heal me in time , for he will not let you fall more than you can take . This is a big time test of my faith , I am like a drug addict , but fighting against Satin . I still need your thoughts and prayers . Please pray for my sons , they mean the world to me and I just pray that God touches them and helps them heal. God Bless and Thank you

Well having a bad day today . Things seemed to hit me hard today and broke me down. A guy I worked with told me to keep praying and work on my inner strength with God , and just pray that he will heal the pain. I am also praying that my sons will start to want to see me , at least they answer a text I send with a simple word, but I feel that is progress. Man , when Satan hits you good , you feel it. Just ask that you all continue prayers for my 2 boys , and their mother. And please keep praying for me that I can keep going strong through God our Father. Thank you all for the kind words and prayers

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers We can learn a lot in our pain; it certainly helps us to never forget. AS I've heard said before, "Hard lessons are not quickly forgotten." I've either had plenty of them or those are just the ones I remember. I've been thinking about you again and praying. The Holy Spirit will put thoughts of someone on our hearts and in our minds when there is need for prayer. I wouldn't expect the pain to go away anytime soon as it has purpose, but God can give us peace in the midst of it.
