    ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger It just happened that I saw this video while in a state of 3months break up today.. I was actually the one being left.. I have an almost 6years boyfriend.. He is a Man who is very supportive, Loving, Kind and every woman wanted for.. Like he really does spoils me to the core.. Only that he is very sensitive.. He does not usually get upset at me coz he often understanding.. but just last February we had a heated misunderstanding about someone either his friend kept ending up my call for a lot of times.. I might have provoked him telling to not let those friends of him visit for two weeks coz I want respect in our relationship coz in the first place they have no right to end the call.. They can tell him or either silent the phone if they were annoyed but not in a way they will kept ending it and no one says they does.. but Actually his youngest brother doesn’t like me like he is really showing me I am unwanted even his foster Sister that even told me that that she is glad that her brother left me for years of her waiting and so I cannot play on their brother.. My boyfriend is 11years older than I am.. He is very open with his family even our couple problems.. but me I preferred not telling anyone and kept it to myself.. I know I was never been good and took him for granted sometimes.. But during my frustration before years ago from my work problem which is a kind of hard to solved he was there for me to always comfort me and shows Love and says everything gonna be alright and will past and We does prayed for it.. for more than a year of being stressed from it.. even it is very inconvenient time for him if I was on my anxiety attack.. as long as he is available he will answer me even middle of the night.. (please take note am in the Phil and he is an American) he always make himself available to show me cares.. I was always thankful to God of having him.. Though I know some member of his family doesn’t like me in a way of I really don’t know exactly.. Also kind of coincidence that same the day he left me,later that day I received a confirmation that the person engaged with my work problem passed away from cardiac arrest and I talked to God that Lord I asked You to softened the heart of that client and provide him so to settle the damages that took about million of money (that’s why I got anxiety for more than a year) but I won’t question You if this is the way it happened that You have to take his life but take good care of the family he left. I wasn’t able to have a chance to show how Thankful I am to My Ex Boyfriend of how all he says happened that it will all end up and I will be happy again.. but how can I be happy if he is gone.. We are really Like Best of Friends.. Everything was almost perfect.. I was actually joining church ministry and bible group during weekend before covid.. Then we always have weekly verses to memorize and he is always the one excited to asked me what’s new and I should memorize it.. we actually on videocall for now.. on his way to work while he is driving he calls me while I am home from work and about to rest.. He will correct me and at times smiled when I got wrong on some words on the verses.. Then he will memorized it too perfectly.. He is always happy for me.. Then he kept telling me he will never leave me no matter how hard the situation is even on our hardship.. I was hurt when he broke up with me.. I was praying for my heart and God gives me comfort and peace until the day came his foster sister told me that way.. that My whole flesh was moving that My fingers were moving and I cried out that day.. and it gives me more hurt when I can see no one and I have no company in our condo due to some do not have work anymore.. I just cried to God and it hurts me at some point when my family called me and kept worrying about my Ex in the USA of how he is now in this pandemic.. But I cannot say we are over.. I don’t know why.. Right now I can feel God giving me so much peace and comfort.. but why does I still have so much hope and kept praying for Our reconciliation? Why do I still believe though I cannot see any progress? But on the song I was listening it states “I Live by Faith and Not by Sight” I am not that hurt anymore but I have a Strong faith we are getting back and I don’t know why.. I also realized a lot of things I wasn’t able to show him.. and since I know his facebook and password when I tried to open it.. He is not talking to anyone either and I read his old chat to my closed friend telling all he felt about getting in pain or exhausted at work and telling my friend not to tell me coz I might worry.. that hurts me.. coz why he does not tell me.. but just tell me happy thoughts.. I also felt guilty and I felt so much more bad knowing I had hurt him in a way of not my intention because of that misunderstanding and I get to his core of sensitivity.. Is it bad if I kept praying for healing and restoration of our relationship? (Please also take note he deleted our entire conversation and blocked me; coz I can access on his facebook) I was planning to email him to tell him everything of how sorry I am and everything I want him to know.. But I felt not ready right and praying for the perfect time too to messaged him.. The right time he is interested to hear from me and I pray how am gonna approach him Godly.. but I don’t want to rush until I hear God saying I should.. Please help me in Prayers Mr. Mark and how am gonna do? I care for him and how he is feeling right now and if he is safe.. Thank you and GOD BLESS!

    1. The Lord may not be allowing you to move on from someone in your past because you and God still have work to do in your heart. 2. If you two had sexual interactions, you could still feel connected to this person because you have not broken those sinful bonds with the cross of Christ. 3. You could be struggling to move on from someone in your past because you are not ready to work up the energy again to meet someone new. 4. You could be struggling to move on from someone in your past because you are doubting the healing God has already provided you.

I gave him all my sadness and pain and he healed me quite a lot but I know I’m not fully healed I think because part of me misses him ,wants him back & couldn’t stand to see him with someone else ..but I love God and myself more and I know God has better things in store for me 😏 pray for my son Santiago Matias on the way 🤰

    This is so true. I used to date someone many years ago when I was in my late twenties. We were together off and on seven years, but eventually it didn't work out. He died a couple years ago I found out, and even though the relationship was a premarital involved relationship (which I regret and asked forgiveness for), a part of me died with him. It's like I can't get him totally out of my heart. I know it's in the past, but in a way I miss him. I would appreciate prayers that I will get past it to where I can move on for good. Thank you.

    5th possible reason: they are a narcissist and you are an empathetic person. Narcissists project all their feelings on you and love bomb you. As an empathic person, you will unfortunately be used for this exactly and if you have no idea about true NPD’s and are not strong enough. You start questioning your worth, your value, why he/she didn’t love you back the way you loved them. Because they are not capable of love. I appreciate the concept of God’s guidance, and in that notion. God was teaching you a lesson to learn to be less or no longer co-dependent. Unfortunately if you have no idea about narcissists, you can feel so hurt and so devastated, because you don’t know the truth. Narcissists are very manipulative and fully capable of making someone “think” they are in love with that person. But it was always the idea. Falling in love with Dr Jekyll and Hyde...waiting for Jekyll to come back. He/she won’t come back, because he/she is not even a real person. It’s a made up persona. Thank you

Not sure how true it is but I feel like she said that because I ignored her and never reached out. I feel like she's picking at me through my sister. Why tell my sister something like that even if it is a secret. Big ticket stuff like that never "stays" a secret. Hoover by proxy. Maybe I was supposed to reach out and react

    Number one was for me.we broke up so badly,he left for ayear .I couldn't get off him....i thank God who gave me courage to walk through that year while focusing on God alone,the holy Spirit was beside me,we used to share the matter with the holy spirit,I realized my mistakes and I asked for God's forgiveness and restoration. I leant to love him and forgive him too the hard way in my heart not allowing my pain of brokenness and the tears that fell each day from my eyes to follow him.God understands us so clearly just sitting down talking to him from down in my heart everything,for about 3months I got delivered from the brokenness after that year he came back asking for forgiveness too.yet me I had already forgiven him and I took him back.we were ok but he was not achristian yet me I had rededicated my life to Christ ,I explained to him all about Christ and after a year as we were planning to get married I was uncomfortable with his not being saved and I was getting off from God,well I felt it inside me that God was calling me out of the relationship thru dreams and scriptures. It took me some good time on deciding but I was left with no option I couldn't leave God for him I choose to leave him and I follow my creator. My heart got fully recovered when he came back and we talked about what had led to our braking up last time after settling the issues everyone become ok again with each other. We decided to separate coz there was no way I could leave my salvation for him and he also he wasn't ready to cross to the salvation side.well I say we aparted peaceful,contented though feeling hurt then but as time unfolds i see the beauty of God.i don't know for him i promised myself to always pray for him and his family so see the light that Christ Jesus brought to the earth so they can also be saved by His grace. And these videos are helpful thank you. Whoever is going thru brokenness over relationships I encourage you to focus on God and his word alone,tell him how you feel cry when you feel it.i have been there I understand the state don't focus on the negativity people provide. Focus on Jesus the healer ,restorer and he knows us,he sees us he understands. If he/she is gone God has the best person for you better than the one left. Jeremiah 29:11-12. Isaiah 50:1-2,forgive if incase your still holding a grudge somewhere in your heart and the Lord's hand will reach you and heal you. Isaiah 43:16-19.this is the hardest truth in the brokenhearted times. Yet it's the truth.

I don't see how God can do anything good with all the garbage I was put through. I want to move on, I want to meet someone better and leave my past in the past and truly be free.

    I woke up crying and hurt this morning, too. But I am doing very well over all. I'm not completely healed. But I have been repenting of my sins. Even ones from a while back. And every time I have been received healing little by little. I'm learning to love my self. As a christian I know that we weren't equally yoked. I decided that I want to follow God. I'm a recovering addict and alcholic. I used to sleep under bridges and prostitute. I also wondered why me?? But today I am victorious by the grace of God. I renounced all the lies and works of the devil in my life and I am living again! I've been praying, fasting and reading my bible! If God cared enough to save a wretch like me then he can do it for you! Give yourself a break and time to heal. I pray that God will lighten your load. The devil is a liar. God has plans of a hope and a future for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Dont give in to the ways of the devil any more. Humble yourself and repent, then God will heal you! In Jesus' name!!

    @@Save.the.legends a few things that help me besides God and prayer are learning to enjoy today. Forgive yesterday. Know that God has a plan for tomorrow. Get bad people out of your life. Force yourself to be humble and ask God for help in all things. It can take weeks, months or years but God will heal you. I pray that you find peace and purpose in your life. Practice doing Gods work and then he will give you the desires of your heart.

    My boyfriend of 7 years passed away on November 30, 2019. It’s been 7 months. I miss him terribly. I still love him. This may be a different type of loss but some days I can’t seem to go on with out him. The pain of his loss is too real and the loneliness kills, he was my entire life. I don’t know what I believe anymore. I’m very lost and sometimes still in denial with what’s going on in my life but I know with strong faith in God, one day I will find peace of heart

    Another timely message! Sometimes in a relationship the two people are at different levels of moving on. And different levels of healing. And with the "isolation" going on, G-D uses that distance to further the healing process. So both people can learn to trust each other, but more importantly, trust G-D more. And HIS timing. I have been struggling with this myself, but maybe it's not just me in this equation. 🤣🙏💕

    Wow Mark!! I had a dream last night about this woman I really really liked and went back to sleep and dreamed again, by the afternoon I found myself having to go to her pet shop and it clicked and I was so surprised. My goodness, this lady was very very kind to me when I met her again, I got confused because she was super nice and playful but then I prayed and your video of a player showed up. She is a very subtle player always receiving but not giving, only happy when I was being useful to her and lacked consistent interest on me. It was so confusing because she was treating me with such kindness and asking me to show up more times, that she was happy to see me, was playful and smiling, told me she'd tell others about me going there. So subtle!! Wow! God bless you Mark! And now this, It is clear that God allowed me to go through it today so I'd understand what she really is, heal from how she used to treat me on the past and would guard my heart cause I became overwhelmingly attracted.

    #4 really spoke to me. I went through so much heart ache over missing my ex the last year, that sometimes even tho I’ve found a new relationship with a really nice guy now for about a year with him, sometimes I still feel sad and loss from my previous relationship. I miss having a Godly relationship. My new partner is a sweetheart but he’s not a Christian. He loves me, my family loves him, and I love him too, but he doesn’t love God. And it’s just left me with a feeling that I’m missing something. In this relationship I’ve felt myself straying from God and taking up bad habits. I just don’t know what to do. At first I thought since he was such a kind person and sweet boyfriend, that God brought him. But almost a year later and I’m seeing myself and our relationship I can’t help but feel some shame and think “God wouldnt want this”. I don’t know what to do. Some might just say to leave him but I know that’ll break his heart and it feels so wrong to hurt such a sweet guy who gets along so well with my family

    I know I've posted this before and I apologize for this being really long but this is very timely for me. I've been constantly struggling with a lot of depression, regret/remorse, self-hatred, social isolation, anxiety, and loneliness. You see when I was in 9th grade I started talking to this one girl from my church. (We both grew up in the church but we never really talked to eachother) Let's call her Alyssa. (That's not actually her real name, but to protect her identity let's just call her Alyssa). I remember the day we met (more like officially started talking) like it was yesterday. I remember where I was, what I was doing, the sweater I was wearing. It was at a social event at one of our youth pastors house. All the boys went outside to go play football, but I stayed inside with all the girls since it was cold out and I was a wussy lol. I was just chilling on the couch stairing at the ceiling day dreaming in my own la la land. Then she comes up and sits down right next to me and started a conversation with me. (She probably just thought I was lonely). I was totally caught off guard. We started talking about stuff, like our hobbies, school, likes/dislikes...etc. We were talking for about 15 maybe 20 minutes. I had small crushes on a couple other girls at school, but there was something different about Alyssa. I never felt this way about any other girl or even her before we started talking. I loved her personality (chatty, nice, hotheaded/tough). For the next 9 months we got to know eachother more on a friendship level, and I had a huge crush on her. I really liked her. She was beautiful and I loved her personality. I asked her to go tubing with me on a youth trip to Springhill and she said yes. She also made me a red and white bracelet at another church youth event (she knew I was a red wings fan). We were not dating but I legitimately thought she was the one and that someday we would be married. I let my emotions take me over. I was 15 and I had no idea how this dating stuff worked. Alyssa was the very first girl I genuinely liked. Unfortunately, things went to hell after that. I wanted her to like me and I was too stupid to see that I was already doing all the right things. (Just being myself). I let fear and worry take me over and I started making a lot of stupid mistakes like acting all desperate and clingy, and being nervous around her. (Not just one time, but several over the course of about 3 months. The summer of 2016 to be exact). This made her not want to speak to me again. She avoided me after that. This led me to becoming really depressed and angry at myself. I also started fighting with my lifegroup friends at church. We were fighting over a lot of dumb and immature stuff. I was taking out my anger and frustrations on them. I then decided to leave the church. It felt like everything I loved had turned against me. Alyssa didn't like me at all, not even as a friend, and my own friends turned on me, my own brothers (metaphorically). For the next two and a half years I didn't pray or read the Bible. I was miserable, depressed, lonely and isolated. I felt cast out. I was angry at God for letting me get into this situation. I thought God hated me and betrayed me. Deep down I still believed in him but I was not following his Word or obeying him. I tried looking for love and acceptance in the wrong places. I became attracted to girls at school that I knew deep down were not good for me. I had a lot of trouble making friends at school. I tried to join clubs at school to make friends but I never fit in or felt accepted by my fellow classmates at school. Nothing was working out. Eventually, things got so bad for me that I tried to kill myself by slitting my wrists in March of 2019. I still have the scars on my arms. All of my problems were caused by me and me alone....out of my own stupidity and immaturity. I had no one else to blame. I was so lonely, sad, ashamed, guilty, depressed, and isolated. I then finally realized that everything went downhill for me because I was not obeying God and listening to him. I tried to do things my own way and it was a disaster. I finally turned back to God and asked him for forgiveness and that I was going to follow him from now on. I started to pray and read scripture daily. I decided to return to the church to make up with my old friends and try talking to Alyssa again. I was a lot more mature this time and in a better physical shape too. I was able to restore my friendships with my lifegroup friends. I did try to talk to Alyssa again. It actually went pretty good since it was 3 years since we last saw each other. I began to believe maybe she is the one all along but due to my stupid mistakes, God then had to find an alternative route for me. Just like Pastor Joel Osteen said (paraphrasing): God is like a gps. When we make stupid mistakes and poor decisions....etc, God simply just recalculates the route to our destiny. It may take longer now because of our mistakes but don't worry God will still get you to your destiny. Me and Alyssa got along well again and she gave me her snapchat. We started talking again in December 2019. I also found out from a mutual friend of ours that she just broke up with her boyfriend. I asked her out on a date in person for Valentines Day this year and she actually said yes. She sounded very enthusiastic too. She was not stuttering or making long pauses. (She's very chatty so it is not hard to keep a conversation flowing with her). After that she ghosted me and blocked me on snapchat and I have not heard from her since. I did not say anything rude or inappropriate and I was not even talking to her much on snapchat. I only started a couple conversations with her by replying to her story. I guess she did that because I showed romantic interest. I've been really confused, depressed and heartbroken (again). I don't why God even bothered to bring Alyssa into my life in the first place all those years ago. I never asked her to come up to me that day. I never cared for her up until that point. This girl caused me so much pain over the last few years and I don't know how to handle it. I won't be able to just simply avoid her either because she is from my church and I have not met another girl that could overtake my feelings for Alyssa. I'm having a real hard time letting go. I constantly wonder why God allowed this to happen to me. I missed a lot of fun times and events at church because of the pain. Church feels painful to go to for me, since it is always associated with her. I also grew up in that church my whole life. I can't just simply leave and find another church. Not aa day goes by where I don't remember the good times with her in 9th grade and the stupid mistakes I made. i wish I could go back in time and fix it all. I wish I wasn't so foolish, immature, and stupid. I wish I knew then what I know now. I wish I could have changed what happened. I wish I never met her. I wish that she never came up to me that day. it is far better to not love someone at all, then to love someone you know you can"t be with. And it is because I love her that I wish I never met her. Just thinking of her brings me pain. It feels like I got rejected by the right person. I wish God would just wipe this girls existence from my memory.

God really has your back and wants you to heal from the hurt and frustration just like Mike said but you have to allow God to come into your heart. I recommend that you find a good therapist/ counsellor (if you can afford it) who can help you acknowledge and accept your emotions. I personally struggled with similar feelings like you and have started counselling and it has honestly been life changing.

Get to the root of why you get clingy. Spend time with God in your singleness to know God more and for him to hold a mirror up to you. He will show you your flaws and will lovingly correct you. Let him heal you and prepare you for the wife he has for you. Be encouraged. 💖✨

I never hear his still small voice answer me while praying, so at the end I would say "Ok Lord I didn't hear you audibly but please speak to me some other way". He has answered me this morning by using you and this video. I have been asking for his help also to move on. However, there are times when I feel like I have gotten over, only to have this person resurface. It's a struggle but God's knows best. I always knew that there is a lesson for me to learn from it, but I couldn't understand why it was so difficult for me to move on. Thank God for you and thank you for allowing the Lord to use you to be his servant in this fashion.

    Interesting discussion. However, this is where I am in my life at this time: "James 1:2-4 (KJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." I'm at this point I "want nothing." Why? Because I understand everything this side of eternity is temporary anyway. We're just passing through this life on our spiritual journey to the next plateau of our eternal home. Therefore, ANYTHING this side of eternity is eventually going to pass away. I am a Psychologist and a Behavior Therapist by profession. I see many people get up in arms about money, people, possessions, relationships, marriage, socioeconomic status, etc. And I look at them and think: Why are they allowing themselves to go through so much agony and anguish regarding things that are temporary in this life, when eternity is a lot longer than our mere on average lifespan of just 75 years? None of what you see here in the physical realm is going to last forever. Nothing! So, why do people put themselves through so much mental anguish and torment attaching themselves mentally and so desperately to what is for all intents and purposes temporary, and behave as if what happens this side of existence is going to last forever? There's freedom in seeing things as they truly are instead of deluding oneself that anything this side of eternity will somehow fill the void, and satisfy the longing of the eternal soul. Because it will not. Don't misunderstand. I'm not berating marriage, having a family, and having healthy relationships. What I am saying is whatever your heart's longing is this side of eternity is indeed temporary and therefore will pass away. Then what? So, "... let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."

    Love this! I view things just like you even before I became a Christian, and I always thought I was like an alien in this world. Every time I expressed those thoughts, people around me would look at me at really strangely and would tell me that I might suffer from depression and to try and be more positive. A few days ago I did a research report over depressive realism for my psych class, and I thought it was really interesting how findings show people with "depression" often have more accurate judgement and perception when viewing things in life. It made me think, what if being a depressive realist is not a bad thing at all. I know that I have thought like that for years, and I always blamed it on having depression, but in reality, it wasn't necessary negative thoughts and perceptions. Someone else who doesn't see what I see may think that it is "pessimism" for believing that the things around us don't really matter. They put their values on the things of this world so what can we expect if we say something different. What's the point of laboring so hard for things if in the end, it makes me miserable and it will pass away. What did I even achieve? The book of Ecclesiastes was a book that I could extremely relate to. A realist looks at both the positive and negative, with no bias, no deception. You see reality as it actually is, one who accepts and deals with things as they really are, and I believe this is wisdom, a gift from God. Because in it, you can rest and know there's a better future ahead. What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it is supposed to be. Realists have a firm grip on reality and can see things for what they are, not what they are told they are. Realists have their own views and do not fall victim to propaganda, misconception, or titles. An optimist, which is usually what this society only accepts as the right way of thinking sees only the positive and is blind to the negative. A pessimist only sees the negative and is blind to the positive, but a realist - has the ability to see both and is fine with it because reality is grounded on the truth that comes from God.

    Can I ask how you learned all of this? I actually learned this by just asking (more like pleading) with God from a very broken place to show me what love is. I was pretty clueless at that time. You would not believe what he has taught me since then! That was 2014. He has showed me through different experiences and relationships. I don't intentionally look for men to date, but somehow I end up in relationships. I feel like God is telling me I still have something to learn because I really learn so much when I'm interacting with a man during a relationship. Most recently it happened with my next door neighbor. I've never dated anyone who lived so close to me. I avoid men but I think God is saying I have more to learn and he's going to make sure I do. I have become much smarter about who I date now, due to my heavenly father's teachings and I ask lots of questions in the beginning to see if we're a potential good match. I also pray for God's guidance and he has shown me in different ways (mostly in the actions of the other person that go against what I've learned about love from God's teachings) whether or not I should pursue a relationship with that person. The neighbor was just not on the same level of understanding as I am in many areas and it helped me see that we are not a good match. He was affectionate and caring and even told me he loved me eventually, but his love was not the kind of love God has taught me about, so I didn't feel like he really loved me. I think he may have lusted and had a strong attraction and attachment to me. But I don't think he's self aware enough to realize that was actually what was going on for him. I felt a lot of times that when I tried to talk to him, he just did not understand me. He assumed a lot and would get defensive easily. He told me several times my relationship with God was coming between us and that our relationship would be perfect if I wouldn't allow that to happen. He literally told me to choose between my relationship with God and him. I can't even believe he thought I would choose him. That blows my mind. This guy had told me in the beginning he had a strong relationship with God and that he wanted to work on it and make it stronger. These are the kinds of things that made me realize this man was not right for me, and not showing me love the way I want and deserve it. I didn't feel like he valued me either. I am so grateful to God for what he has taught me and I'm learning how to love myself and understand my true value and what I deserve. I knew none of this in 2014. I think it's amazing that he has taught me all these things and all I had to do was ask!
