A prayer request

Today I found out my parents divorce.

Please pray that before they sign the papers that they decide that they decide not to do it.

Please pray for us. We are very sad.

You ask your request very maturely, for someone named Miss Little. I am very impressed! It is good to be able to ask mature questions, even while you are feeling very bad inside.

I had to tell my children once that I was getting divorced. It was very hard for all of us, and nothing could make it easy. I prayed that we would decide not to do it, also, but we had to do it anyway.

It took a long time, but eventually I understood something. Jesus prayed once that a bad thing would not happen to Him, but it still did. He prayed that He would not have to be killed, and God could have stopped it, but Jesus was killed anyway. Jesus decided to trust His Father, even though the thing He prayed for turned out so badly. It's a hard thing to do, but sometimes God has to allow bad things to happen even though He loves you very much.

And some times your mom and dad have to allow bad things to happen, even though they love you very much.

You will always be glad you were honest about your question, and you will always be glad you were so mature at such a hard time. I will pray with you, and trust that the Lord is doing the right thing, no matter what He does.

Of course I will pray, I can only imagine how much it must hurt inside.
I'm glad though that Jesus understands all about hard things and painful things -- no one else can understand as much as he does.

That is a very sad thing to learn. I will pray for what you've asked, and for your family. God bless you, Miss Little!

I am 11 years old now, but when I was 8 my parents got a divorce too.It was really hard for my whole family. Just remember, God is always with you and He will do what is best for you, even if it's very hard to understand.
I'll be praying for you.

Miss L, I'm going to remember to pray for you every day when my little hummingbird friend comes to visit right outside my window.

When you are little, the world looks different than when you are big. Big people have to deal with all kinds of hard and bad things that little people don't have to think about. That's good, you aren't ready to think about those decisions and you shouldn't have to.

Sometimes, though, those things come into your world and you have to deal with them. Like a divorce or if someone close to you gets sick or dies. I know it's hard, but ask a lot of questions about why it's happening and what it means.

Us big people try to do our best to choose the good things and the best things when we make decisions. Sometimes our only choices are between two bad things. Then we try to choose the one we think is the least bad, but it's still bad. Then we have to try our best to help you littles understand why something bad is happening. Sometimes we don't completely understand why either.

Keep praying, and I'll pray with you. God can work miracles and change hearts, in fact only God can change hearts. In the end, like Codepoke said, things may not change and they may still get a divorce. Just remember, God knows more about it than even your Mom and Dad and he can help you, and them, get through it too.

I hope that helps you. I have my own miss littles, almost your same age (and with that same pink Build-a-Bear, remember?). I'll be praying and I'll ask her if she will pray for you too.

Miss Littles, I will certainly be praying for you.
I know this is hard for you, sweetie. It's hard for your parents, too.
They may no longer be together, but you need to remember that you are loved so very much.
Like everyone here said, Jesus went through pain, but He was loved. You are loved here on the earth, and you are loved in the heavens, too.
That will never change.
