Quote: Was out for a long walk to cry, called a friend and told him I have given up. He said 'just take care of yourself, be there for your girls'. He Mentioned that when people 'give themselves to Christ' for example, they give up trying to control the world around them. That's where I need to be. Give up. No longer trying to fix the marriage or hope she will care for me more than 'a friend'.
Your friend is right, Frank. About giving up control. Submitting. That does not mean giving up HOPE, though. It simply means acknowledging that you are not in control and submitting to the only One Who IS and letting Him guide you to the end result, His will for your life.
In God's Word lies every bit of hope you need for your situation. Every bit.
Seek and you will find. Take your hands off the wheel.
