I came back to my room today to find this letter sitting on my bed:
Dear Sister in Christ,
I don't know you, but I know exactly what you're going through--up until January 6, I, too was engaged. I want you to know that I am praying for you--for peace, for comfort, for intense knowledge of God's presence and control. I'm praying that you will feel God's arms of love wrapped around you tighter than you've ever felt them before. I'm praying that the Lord will help you study when you feel like crying, and that He'll help you concentrate when you don't feel like thinking at all, and that He'll help you be a blessing to others when you so desperately need to be blessed yourself.
I'm praying that when you've cried all the tears you can and your heart still aches, that the Lord will be so real to you.
I wish I could tell you how well I understand your pain, and I wish I could show you that it truly will work out for good, but you'll have to discover that for yourself in God's Word. The verses at the bottom have been a great help to me the past month--I hope they'll encourage you, too.
Just trust Him one day at a time, and He will get you through.
A friend,
Anneji Noele
