Michael,
I can clearly understand what you are going through. What you went through is what I went through 2 years back, but the duration of leaving was 1 Month. Dec '10 we were planning of a future together & Jan '11, she left me due to familial pressures.
My girl still has no other guy in her life. I've patiently, prayerfully waited for more than 2 years & I'm willing to wait further for my Heavenly Father's amazing Miracle & timing so I can share my Praise Report.
I stand in agreement with you on your intention of a Marriage with Lora.
Don't ever give up, hang in there, persist in Prayer.
Even the Loudest Shout or a Quiet Sob, GOD can always hear a Silent Prayer from a sincere heart !!!
The Smallest of Prayers from the Biggest of Hearts, can change more than we can imagine !!!
Prayer is the place, where Burdens change Shoulders !!!
Prayer has great power, especially when we add Patience, Persistence & Praise !!!
P.U.S.H. ---> Pray Until Something Happens !!!
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20)
“With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.†(Mark 10:27)
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24)
GOD Bless !!!
