You all know my story. WS moved out two months and one day ago and says he's not coming back. Last two weeks were great. He was here almost every night and we were able to just be together, but if relationship talk came up he got upset, but then backstepped and tried to make amends later. He's basically been extremely distant since Christmas has come and gone. Hurtfully so, but he's still agreed to go to visit with my counselor tonight at 7 PM CST.

Please pray for him, for me, for us and for this meeting. Pray that the Lord goes before him and gives the counselor just the right questions and words to allow him to see that there is hope in our situation and that our issues can be worked through with a little effort. Pray that the Holy Spirit is with him softening his heart with every word heard and every word spoken. Pray that he is shown hope and not despair; happiness and not pain; love and not hate.

I am a firm believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and I waiver so much in my Christian walk, but I know that God is one who performs miracles and that He does not like divorce. I know that He has a perfect plan for our lives...as a couple...and that He's testing us to make us better people. I also know that He works on His time as His time is perfect time even when we want to rush things and receive quick answers.

So, please, please, please, hold us all up in prayer.

Thank you in advance for your love, concern and most of all your prayers. It's the most powerful thing you can do for a friend.

ferbie-

I pray for ALL you ask for...the power of prayer when others in Christ know a situation is beyond powerful...also, I may be stepping bounds here but as a christian you have every right to pray with confidence and demands. YOU are righteousness of GOD! Don't forget that! Because you are righteous you walk in him by his nature, in his spirit! Your petition of the Lord has to come from your confidence in him!!

I pray that your M be rejuvenated with LOVE, JOY, happiness, compassion, caring and kindness as only a H & W who believe in our Lord and savior !

In Christ's Name!

In agreement with all prayers here. In Jesus name, it will be done. Amen.
Time to take back all satan has stolen from us and take it back 7 fold. Satan, you are a liar and we rebuke your demons of destruction, infidelity, abuse, addictions, and all harmful behaviors in Jesus name. We replace with the blessings of God of sound marriages of love, faithfulness, kindness, consideration, and awakening of the Holy Spirit on all spouses. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Thank you for your prayers. I spent the entire hour of counseling in prayer. I've been really down and on the verge of almost suicidal and I post on another site where there are many that are not very supportive. I said a few things and the site owners actually called the law enforcement in my county to do a welfare check on me. I was so embarassed.

Then my husband showed up at my house. I never asked him if he went to counseling or how things went, etc., but he made it known that he had indeed attended the session. He used the excuse of dropping off some of my explanation of benefits from our insurance company that he told me about last week. That's O.K., at least he stopped by and we were able to joke around for a little bit, etc. It felt good. No pressure, etc. Just being together. I must focus on that.

The Lord is good. I believe that we are victors with the Lord and I believe my marriage will be saved. I have faith in my Savior that it will happen.

Thank you for caring enough to pray and extend your kind words to me.

You mean a lot.

((Ferbie)): just dropping in to say a "post" session prayer and give you a hug.

Keep on believing...and in the meantime, revel in the Father's perfect, solid and unconditional love for you.
