MY STORY OF OVERCOMING HEARTACHE
           	        Presented to a grief class at Tecumseh Assembly of God

Friends can give a listening ear, encourage you, let you know they care, but they aren't there all of the time, like at night, holidays and Sundays that seem to be harder.  
A FRIEND IN JESUS:   
Heb. 13:5 - I will never leave thee,  nor forsake thee. 
Deut. 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy              God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deut. 31:8 - The Lord, He it is that doth go before thee, He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee; fear not,  neither be dismayed. 
Divorce with the rejection - I felt so unloved.
Jer. 31:3 - I have loved thee with an everlasting love:  Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Had to repeat this over and over until it got from my head into my heart and I really felt it.  Everlasting love never ends or isn't based on deserving it. God is no respecter of persons, so that means each of us.  
Favorite verses:  read over and over:
Ps. 34:  4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18
Ps. 27:  1, 5
Ps. 28: 7   
Ps. 37   
Sometimes you wonder about going through the hard times and someone that is not a Christian doesn't seem to have so many troubles. Reading Psalms is very uplifting and helps to encourage you.    
PHYSICALLY TIRED:
Matt. 11:28 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
After repeating this verse over and over. I would go right to sleep.
