Many years ago I was going through a difficult divorce, something I didn’t want but couldn’t do anything to stop. It had been a particularly bad day and I was having trouble getting to sleep. It was 3 AM and I needed to be up at 6 to prepare the kids for school and myself for work. I was feeling so broken and alone, trying to find a way to fix my marriage and bring my family back together. I sat up in bed, laying my hands down on the bed in front of me as if laying down a burden, and asked God to please take over. I was tired of the struggle and realized only He could heal my soul. I asked Him to help me get to sleep and to feel rested even though I would only get a couple of hours of sleep. Suddenly I felt a warmth, as though someone had wrapped me in their arms, and I knew it was God comforting me. I laid down and instantly fell asleep. When the alarm went off I woke, feeling refreshed and well rested. As I took my shower, I began wondering if things would be okay and I heard a still small voice say, “I will take care of you and your children. Everything will be as it should be.” From that day on, even though it was difficult, I felt at peace. God brought a new man into my life after a short time. We have now been married 29 years and it still feels like we are on our honeymoon. God is good!
