This morning I met with our parish priest and one thing we talked about is how I have struggled with prayer since I met with my atty. I mean I literally sat in the church this morning and couldn't say a thing. He told me something that really helped. God hears you even when you don't speak. If you can't even muster a word to Him in your prayer just say "Lord, I am yours". It was amazing how much saying that simple sentence helped me so much.
Another thing he helped me with was looking at what I was praying for and finding how God is answering my prayers. One thing I have prayed for is that God makes my wife and I a beacon of marital love, a beacon to all those we encounter to know how wonderful marital love is and how the Lord works through us all. I have asked that He help us find the love for one another in our hearts and re-join in holy matrimony so we can do his work. If the only witnessing we ever do is showing God's love through our love for one another then I know I have done God's work.
He is giving us the opportunity to re-join and it's up to us to take what he gives us and run with it.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
