Deegee Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I am going through a rough breakup that has me feeling like I'm losing it! There are bouts of crying, sadness, and worst of all, a feeling of utter hopelessness! My boyfriend of 3 years has decided to end things without giving me any kind of warning. There was a small disagreement, but NOTHING that would even warrant a breakup....weird. He won't return my calls, and does not respond to my (2) text messages. And it's been 5 weeks this coming Sunday. Amidst my crying fits, and anger, I've had the good fortune of having a really great male friend (that I was engaged to about 8 years ago, but THAT'S another story...) that has given me true words of wisdom, and incredible insight into this whole fiasco. He asked me to listen to a song by Garth Brooks called Unanswered Prayers, and I want to share that with everyone here that is struggling to cope with a breakup. I sincerely hope that this helps, and brings clarity to your situation. Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks Just the other night a hometown football game My wife and I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again CHORUS: Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me In her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And then and there I thanked the good Lord For the gifts in my life CHORUS Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers See? God ALWAYS answers prayers, it might not be what we expect, more often than not, it's something that we COULD NOT (in our broken state)even fathom. Have faith, and stay strong!
CaliGuy Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I'll second this. And Garth Brooks is a frikken genius!
