Emailer: Wow I was really touched when I read your story im a single mother myself my boyfriend recently left me an im pregnant with our second child I know GOD is the only one that can help me through this trial but its soo hard to see that theres hope for me to make it through alone. My kids mean everything to me I know GOD has a better plan for us but its soo hard to see that when soo much is bringing me down.
Saved By Faith’s Response: When faced with these circumstances, it's so easy to see how hard it will be or how much suffering we have faced. But that is exactly when we have to step out on faith, praise God for giving you strength and be reassured that you WILL make it through because God doesn't give you more than you can handle.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
I have to be honest with you, being a single parent is very difficult. I left my ex almost 8 years ago. I would love to tell you that it's a piece of cake but I'd be lying. You will have your ups and downs... and so will the kids. For years my kids asked why he and I weren't together anymore. One thing for us is that he chose not to support his children emotionally or financially... I was on my own 100%. I thought it was going to be horrible but when I saw my children smiling more everyday; when I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders; I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
You're right, know that GOD can help you through this trial.
God does give us hope and that will get you and your children through the adjustment time.
James 1:12 assures us “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
Be strong, pray everyday, and we will pray for you as well.
If you ever want to talk, please feel free... I'm only an email away.
Love,
