My husband left for a two national guard duty in September in which he continued volunteering to stay. I supported his decision as I thought that this was a way to have him feel like he was supporting me and our new baby. Our baby was born on Aug 2 three months premature and came home on Sept 26. My husband wasn't home at the time, and baby came home on oxygen(which praise God he came off of the week of Thanksgiving). Things progressed till I found out that he has been living with another woman while down there and he now wants a divorce.<P>I am his third wife, and his second marriage, split and divorce, sounds soo similiar in dates with ours that its scary. Their daughter was born in Aug, they were separated in nov\dec.<P>To be honest I don't know what needs to be prayed for. I don't feel that he wants this divorce on one level, but then I think between his pride, his fears, his family (who are giving excuses\encouragment for his decision) and admittedly my part in the problems of the relationship; think that he does want this divorce. I don't deny the fact that probably his needs were very much neglected this past year. My pregnancy kept me at times from taking care of myself as I should.<P>Just pray for me, our son, and my stbx. God is the only One who knows what's best in this situation. I just don't know what to do or think anymore.

Father , thank you for being ever faithful in this unfaithful world. Thank you for bringing Lynn to our group of pray warriors that she may be lifted up and strengthened in this time of uncertainty for her and her husband. We praise you Lord for the improved health of her baby and for bringing this joy into her life.<P>Father, you know the situation at hand with Lynn and her husband. You see the pattern her husband displays in his relationships. We know that you will take care of Lynn and her baby and yet, Father, it is hard to know how to pray for this situation. We know you hate divorce, yet you provide a way out in light of infidelity. <P>RO 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. [27] And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.<P>Thank you for these words, knowing that the Spirit interceded for us in ways we do not know. Align Lynn with your will and give her your wisdom and peace that surpasses all understanding. Show us how we can support her during this time.<P>We thank you for answered prayer. IJN

Sue, Thank you for the prayer. I've been feeling very alone right now and not sure of the choices I should make.<P>
