New hope in prayer??

Well, I am slowly getting back into church. Today I went with a friend to her church, not Roman Catholic, but enjoyable still. Today's service inspired me to read my bible again. While listening to the preacher talk - he was speaking about how we need to read and know, not just memorize, the bible, I was flipping through mine, when it happened to fall open to a book I have never seen before in my life. Song of Songs. I got home and sat down to read my bible tonight, and I usually start at Genisis, but once again, it fell open to that page. I decided to read it, and I swear, it described my life of love and losing it. I kept reading it, and it went on to show how the lovers found each other again. I can only pray that I will have my love returned to me as well. It was Song of Songs 5:2-8:5 I think. I have prayed for my marraige as hard as I could for the last four months, but tonight, reading that, gave me the greatest hope I have felt since George came home to tell me he was leaving me. My prayer still is, and will continue to be, that he rediscovers his love for me and returns to me and rededicates his life and love to his family.
