Dear Jesus, I come to you now with a broken heart and a weary spirit. I dont know how I can carry on each day knowing that a part of me had already gone, never ever to return. Can I ever be complete again? Can I ever smile again at the coming of a new day? Day after day I miss him more and more. Day after day my longing grows but it can never be fulfilled. How can I possibly live my life again? How do I overcome this feeling that I am now all alone and I shall always be alone or the rest of my life? How do I let go? The places we’ve been to, the celebrations we had together, they will never be the same. The emptiness in my heart is so big I can no longer breathe sometimes.
Help me O God! The pain of separation seems more painful to me than death itself. I don’t know how much longer I can carry on. Help me carry on this day Lord. Help me to let go, I pray. Though I may not forget, help me to remember how you have always carried me through. Though the pain may not yet go away, assist me in carrying this cross with hope in my heart.
Let me not forget the people who love me and assist me in this hour of need. May I find strength in them, consolation in the generosity of their hearts. And whenever I’m afraid, let there always be a hand to hold on to, a smile to brighten up my path. Send down your angels Lord and may I recognize your hand upon your every gift and blessing. Give me something to do that I may not feel useless, yet teach me also to rest knowing all will be well after the long dark night.
You are my Rock and my Provider, Savior and Defender, Friend and Lover who will never ever let me down. You will lead me through this day. You will fill my every hour with peace, my every moment with thoughts of your love. I cannot bear the burdens of tomorrow but I will offer you all that I have today. Today is yours O God. This moment is yours. Embrace me and take my hand. I am in your heart. I am safe. I am loved.

I do hope that it could somehow bring comfort, Fymmyles. Blessings!
Hi Joyce, those little changes on this page looks good. Compliments! Stay Blessed!
Hi Joyce,
Its Johnathan again here. Just want to let you know that my life is progressing rather nicely. The new position that I have started in the company requires me to travel quite a lot and life has been filled with new activities and people. I am only at home 2 weeks in a month. But thats okay. I am trying to enjoy the opportunity God has given me to fully appreciate life.
I caught up with my dear friend over the weekend. It got me to think…that love is funny… No matter what I do or where ever I go,I will never forget him. I still love him haha …always. He told me that he is now engaged and planning to get married at the end of the year. He wants me to be his best man!!! It took time for me to get this idea to sink in. But obviously, I said yes and it would be my honour. Deep down, I still feel a bit ……well, sigh…cant put it into words….But…. I love him too much to not be involved on his special day. He is and will always be my dearest friend. My prayers will always be with him and his new life.
Life is surely funny sometimes. With its all ups annd downs, I will always be grateful to Him.
I hope you too are doing well.
regards
Your cyber friend…..
Hello Jonathan!
Glad to hear from you again.
It really sounds like you’re moving on and is even able to transition into this new role as his friend, even his bestman for that matter 
Even though you’re busy, I sense that you’re able to handle everything well, life is going well with you. I wish you more strength, more love and more blessings to add to your long list of fabulous things.
With Love,
Joyce

Hoping that the lent season will also give me time to repent and reflect all the goodness God has given me.
Anyway, stay blessed
