Dear MIMsters: The Only Man I Truly Loved is Getting Married

The only man I ever truly loved is getting married to another woman this month and it hurts so much. Although he didn’t promise to marry me, I have always earnestly prayed to God that I want him. This has always been my number one prayer point whenever I am writing a prayer petition at programs or during my personal prayer.

Now all my hope of becoming his wife is shattered and I am like an empty vessel ready to be broken. I have been crying all day hoping God can still do something. I have tried to let it go and prayed for God to heal my heart but whenever I open my mouth to pray, I find myself crying again.

What do I do? How do I handle this? I am so tired and weak. I wish God had answered my prayer because this would have been me preparing for my wedding by now. I am so short of words but it is well with me.
