I am in the middle of a divorce. My wife, who is not an active member and has opposed my membership in the church has left me and has taken with her our 8 week old baby for another man. She took the baby out of spite for me discovering her cheating. This is the scripture that I have been thinking a lot about: D&C 122:7

And if thou shouldst be cast into the ^apit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the ^bdeep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to ^chedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of ^dhell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee ^eexperience, and shall be for thy good.

I get choked up every time I read that scripture because I know it is intended for me as well.
