prayers needed on a breakup

[dalhorn1]

I'm normally a lurker on the site, but I'm a Horn grad/fan for life.

I am in the midst of a heart-shattering breakup, and i'm having a terrible time coping. I don't know any of you here, but I am asking for any prayer support that anyone can offer. In January, I met the girl i wanted to marry. Three months into the relationship, she moved back to Austin to begin a new career. We decided that we both cared deeply for each other, and were willing to focus on a long-distance relationship. Things were going fine up to two weeks ago. I came to Austin to visit, and could tell that her heart wasn't in it any longer. She left me, saying that she needs to be alone in this stage of her life to understand more about who she is. That leaves me where i sit now- heartbroke, sleepless, not wanting to smile. I can't breathe deep, i have no desire to eat, and i've been full of true fear after experiencing a sever panic attack and breakdown. I'm having a hard time letting go and allowing God to do His work bacause i'm aifraid I'll forget how good i felt just by seeing her smile. I believe that God will lead me toward love in time, but is it wrong to hope that he leads us back to each other? Help me! I'm lost in my thoughts, struggling to make it through the workday, and scared to be by myself at night. Any prayers are welcome. I have to admit that since i don't have much experience on this board, i don't know how to do much in here, but if anyone has amything to PM me, please let me know. Thanks for anything you can offer.

Prayers. Try to remember yourself before she came into your life. Were you miserable? I doubt you were. Try to focus on the positive. Respect her wishes and if it was meant to be, it will be. Keep your chin up no matter what.

We will keep you in our prayers. It is hard to let go and put things in God's hands, but the peace you will feel afterward is incredible. Keep friends and family around you.

I think we all wonder why things happen. A helpful way is that it happened for a reason. There is another girl out there for you. Right now you might not feel like there is any other girl and that's alright. We all feel that way. We can't help control our feelings for something so strongly. But when He brings her into your life you'll feel that spark once again and I promise you it'll be stronger than any other.

thanks "hi", "bell", and "GOO". The fabled GOO, answering a topci of mine. You like me, you really like me...

seriously, i have felt your prayers and thoughts working in my heart and life. Over the past few days, i can sense a calm growing in my soul, and it's starting to heal me. i have had a few conversations with my ex about nothing in particular, but it feels nice just to hear her voice. i will continue to let God work on this and follow His command, continue to focus on keeping my chin up, and continue to believe that there is the "one" out there for me. If she was the one, then i have no further to look. If not, it can only come when He knows I'm ready. After all, i'm only 28, and i've still got some learning about myself left.

Honest, thanks for your kind words and time to post back to me. It truly did make a difference already.

Prayers for strength and guidence. When one door closes the lord manages to help you open another one. Keep hope and faith in your heart as hard is that may be at times.

Prayers, friend. I've been there before, too. God will ease the pain.

thanks again for the kind words of encouragement. I still get sad when her face enters my thoughts, and it's going to be hard for me to keep myself busy all the time. I hope that time helps heal these wounds. Keep praying is the best remedy for this.

I'll send up a prayer for you. just surround yourself with people who love you, and though you may not feel like it, seek out the things that make you smile; it offers a reprieve from the pain. It helps a bunch to smile and laugh with your friends even though you think you all you can feel is terrible...prayer is the strongest remedy though, in my opinion.
