Hi, from someone along this path with you!

I've kind of taken it upon myself to share something that might make you feel a little less ignored and a lot more covered in prayer:

Many times, and this is true of me as well as many others, we come by this part of the forum, read a prayer request, and pray immediately.

It could be that you'll be put on a prayer request list... either personal or a group... and prayed for later.

Either way, please know that there are people who come by here and pray but don't always have the time to write a response.

This particular part of the forum ebbs and flows... at times it's been very busy, and others... well, if it were possible, you'd see a tumbleweed roll by.

I would hate to write my request and feel ignored... and have done it myself, matter of fact, so I know how you might feel.

Just a gentle reminder that along with those of us who read and don't respond, there is Another who is hearing your cries: God.

Bless each and every one of us... and for those in pain, I pray for healing.

Just a bump up!!

I am on of those that don't always have time to post but check here frequently and pray for every poster.

I also know that there are others that do the same.

Blessings to all of you.

S&C

thanks for your response, S&C... I knew I wasn't alone about this...

**bump**

Bump!

nb - you can add me to your list.

I don't check in here often anymore. I suppose it's because it seems as though people generally "pop in" and drop off a request and then we seldom hear from them again. It's very hard to converse with someone that way, so we are left with praying and leaving it in God's hands.

I would think that if someone is genuine in their request because of their own belief in God and are looking for some "prayer warrior" help from fellow believers, it is enough that we pray for them. But I also wonder sometimes if someone who is not a believer simply pops in to "cover all the possible bases." It's difficult to know, because it's unusual for them to respond so we can actually know what they believe. Sometimes the "best prayer" would not be related to their situation, it would be that they come to know Christ as their Savior first.

Just another "drive by" post from me, I guess.

God bless.

Bump...

Bump! Again...

***bump***

There are lots of us out here, offering prayers that are requested but rarely writing out a response. You are being heard!

Please never forget this!!

We haven't forgotten...

We're praying for YOU!

Yes we are!

Blessings.

S&C

Bump, and still praying...

Still checking in, listening (reading) and praying for YOU!

Please add me to your lists


My wife tomorrow is seeing a lawyer to see her options for divorce, please pray for a change of heart and wisdom for us both. Ive committed horrible sin and ive accepted god into my life and hes changed me around and helped me become a man.

please pray my wife see's this and changes her heart and see's a future with us.

Hi Zach....

I wanted to check with you before... and hesitated.

R u here?

Can I ask you a question?

Yes please do

Hi Zach....

With grace, your wife may not be able to believe things you say. Please consider that in getting married, for example, you made vows and gave your word that you would be faithful.

You admitted an affair 11/07. You haven't proven an ability to keep your word yet. At this time, you are saying that you have gotten God in your heart and life. What practical things are you doing differently?

I think you wife needs to see a major change in your habits and lifestyle... to believe you... or to regain trust.

I would say that, were I you, I would confess my sin to the pastor of the church where I attend... and come under "church discipline".

"Church discipline"... having repented of sin... would not include "excommunication" Anyway, "church discipline"... imo... would include, having repented, coming under accountability. (just putting discipline into your life - and being subject to authority.)

In Promise Keepers, for example, they have "accountability partners". Attending Promise Keepers, joining that... coming under the authority of the church leadership (hopefully they are biblical and godly and hold to the Word)... in addition to regular attendance, Bible study, small group fellowship, giving to the church... etc....

all of these things done in an attitude of contrition, humility, and subjectedness (willing to subject yourself to the authority of those who are godly and mature in Christ - the authority they have meaning they are good examples and truly morally/spiritually equipped to "father you" in the Lord... mentor, train, and equip you).

It is good to give our hearts to the Lord - our hearts and minds. Yet, we must give our whole lives.

Even John the Baptist said (in so many words)... "Why do you come here to be baptized? Go show forth the fruits of repentance!"

You may have said, "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

However, your whole entire life must turn around and the most important thing is to show yourself subject to higher authorities. (Godly men mature in the faith in the church and Promise Keepers, imo... that you are 100% accountable towards.)

Dr. Harley talks about the wife holding the H accountable after an A.

Well, your wife isn't wanting to reconcile, right now. She's wanting to divorce.

I'd say... clean up every area of your life right now.

Stop listening to secular music.
Stop watching secular tv.

I mean, if you want God to move radically in your life to get your life straight... get radical about God. In your life.

I mean in action, habits, lifestyle... everything.

Work hard in employment. Save your money. I mean, I'm talking every area of your life.

Not just in words, "I'm sorry." But a complete change in your life... what you do and how you do it.

You need serious strengthening in your character... and I recommend placing restrictions on yourself.

If you are serious... given the history of your affair behavior... this means a lot of serious action in a total turnaround in your schedule, habits, routine, and how you do life.

What have you done differently? What action steps have you taken?

As far as you personally being around any member of the opposite sex... I think you need a firm rule of "no contact" with the opposite sex outside of "supervision".

I'm serious and I mean it.

The # affairs you have had while dating and one soon after getting married make drastic safeguard steps necessary to protect your wife from lack of character development.

And you need to get about the business of an intense character development and accountability program, imo.

So there's my ?'s and my comments.

Praying for you.

But faith with out works is dead.

Getting to work on... you... and being so serious that everything changes... is necessary, imo, for you to be believed.

JTB (John the Baptist) wanted to see real evidence in fruits of repentance....

It's critical right now... and important.... imo. (We all need character development as Christians... but your situation is one of those "desperate times call for desperate measures" kind of things.)

I think you are a young person. I think this calls for growing up quick and giving up what you may associate with "being young"... to really have a happy life.

My SIL is 22... and the only way to be young and married is to just put behind you childish things.

You are a man. You are a husband.

I think you need to grow up quick... right now... and get about being a very responsible and very straightlaced Christian in every area of your life... and extremely conservative... to show the fruits of repentance... imo.

Giving up my "youth" and dedicating myself to being a wife and mother was the happiest decision I ever made.

You're gaining things youth can never give you if you put your youth behind you and find your enjoyment in being a serious, responsible Christian husband at this time, imo.

Major, major changes... I think are called for based on the history. YOu need to "rewrite your future"... right now... I believe... by like almost "tearing down" your life right to the foundation of how you live it... and rebuilding all new in Christ as a Christian.

Are you willing? To give your whole life?

That's really what you agreed to do... to lay down your entire life for your wife... when you took marriage vows to get married.

"I'm sorry"... isn't "I'm changing my whole life now!".

That's what a woman would need not to just hear... but to see... imo. And I think it would make you happier than you can imagine possible... in Jesus... in my personal opinion.

Praying for U.

God bless.

P.S. My SIL is one very happy man. He's a very responsible young man who was more mature at 20 than many men are at 40... imo.

He's an A-1 top drawer Christian young man who goes to church every Sunday... works hard... is very financially responsible... provides for my daughter. My daughter listens only to Christian radio and is a dedicated stay at home wife. I mean, she's my joy... just a wonderful daughter.

Those are 2 very happy people.

Son, I'd (guess I won't use a euphemisms)... why I oughtta!!! - ... if you treated my daughter like that.

I'm telling you what... my SIL is so lucky to have my daughter.

And you better believe I had a list that any young man who wanted to date my daughter must coincide with....

IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!

Real practical things I wanted to see built into his life.

Well, he's everything on the list and more.

And georgeous to boot.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They are so smart for marrying young, imo.

But you gotta "rise to the challenge"... and be a man!!!!

In previous generations... men were grown men at 14-16 years of age.

I'm talkin' responsible grown up men who took on their adult roles.

There's nothing like... a man.

I mean a man who has put away childish things.

Back thank you so much for that post, so uplifting.


Yes I have totally turned my life around and I am going to continue to do this. When I was first married my wife was a strong christian and went to a Church School most of her school years. She tried to get me to go to church in our marriage and I avoided it. Since this has happened....

I have confessed my sin to my pastor at this church, he is also helping us with counseling. He knows everything I have done and ive confessed, he got me into the church. Now I have become saved and it has changed my life. I accept god in my life, and I attend church EVERY wednesday and every sunday for service and sunday school. Last night I talked to a few other strong christian people at my church about this and we talked about it for a while, im so lucky to have the support I do from people at this church.


Its funny you say that because everything I do now involves god, I pray when I get up, and I pray at lunchtime and I pray before I go to bed. I have even and I NEVER thought I would do this, started listening to christian music. I dont watch much tv though.


Thank you so much for your post back. You are a blessing.

Thank you for your prayers, god bless

Hi Zach....

Praise the Lord. You are on a "winning track" with the Lord it sure sounds like to me.

When we surrender our lives to Jesus, and He moves to "turn our lives around"... He's placing us... we're running the race... in "the winning track".

I am praying for you.

Have you gotten Dr. Harley's books and are you reading them?

Also, have you contacted the Harley's for their professional marriage counselling?

Would your wife agree to counselling?

Many, many times - imo - a wife will "turn around" to attend counselling with a WS.

Counselling, too, is a major "sign" and a commitment that a woman will see and be motivated to "try again"... because it introduces (with a good counsellor for sure) a "3rd party". She feels hope, imo, that real change within the relationship where the man will "turn around" within the relationship... can occur. A lot of times, she will turn around due to the realistic hope good 3rd party counselling provides her.

She needs hope...

What about signing up for counselling with the Harleys and inviting her to join you?

Since you have placed structure and Christian fellowship in your life to place you on the "winning track"... will counselling then be the "tipping point"?

Have you tried asking her that? I mean, why don't you go ahead and start and invite her to join. An object in motion is likely to stay in motion.

The counselling you start with the Harleys could provide positive motivation and forward momentum that will pull her in.

She needs hope.

Keep "putting logs on the fire" that cause her to see, know, and understand that there is renewed reason to hope. Do nothing to "douse the flames"... and see what eventually "catches with her".

Imo, you can't lose. You're on the "winning track". Stay on the "winning track"... and you will build a wonderful life... and become increasingly "safe" and thus "attractive" to your W.

She married you. She loves you. Keep working at it. What you need to do now (and you are doing in many ways) is a "Plan A" to restore your BS to the marriage.

I'd call the Harley's... and have them lead and guide you back into a marriage that will restore your wife's love for you and become the greatest source of happiness for both of you that can be found....

(this side of Heaven.)

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Praying for you and your wife and your life and marriage together.

Keep up the good work in the Lord! For we know our labor in the Lord is not in vain.

God bless.

P.S. I recognize the value of pastoral counselling.

Yet, there are practical matters in which Dr. Harley is a phd.

He's an expert... and building marriages and restoring marital love is his field of expertise.

It's "his calling".

That means God is in it... in a specific calling to meet your present need.

Even though you have begun counselling with a pastor... I still believe that Dr. Harley is, perhaps, one of your best sources.

Since you were lead to this site... I would gain from the Lord in it all that can be gained.

I strongly encourage you to add "Dr. Harley" to the counselling you are already receiving.

I think it will be a focussed, targetted, and highly effective venue affording you the best opportunity to restore lvoe quickly.

He's highly trained and educated... and gifted of the Lord, imo... in this area. Againk it's his specific calling as a believer... and one must respect experts in the Lord.

Don't "miss" any positive opportunity... and pay to get the best advice.... I'd advise.

Add it to your counselling. It will be worth it.

And hte "What do we have to lose?" approach... should also resonate with your wife.

Pay for it yourself. (Don't ask your wife to contribute.)

If you need to borrow to do it - borrow... or be open to receive gifts from Christians around you.

Tell them this counselling may very well save your marriage.

Strong Christians will do everything they can to help you begin your married life (you can start over every day with the Lord)... on the best footing possible.

We are "pro marriage"...

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are "pro God".

And marriage is the greatest symbol or evidence on earth... in some respects... of our shared Christian faith.

It's very important... and worth great investment... in my opinion.

You can't do "too much" of a good thing.

The value of specific goals and a targetted approach to achieve the goals most crucial and pivotal to your success cannot be underestimated.

I'll say it again... that's what Dr. Harley has spent decades learning, knowing, and practising... successfully.

A business woman, a business man, will tell you (I'm a business woman)... that it's worth it and the quickest path to the greatest or highest level success.

I hope you are encouraged to take action.

The more positive action you take... the more momentum is built towards your positive outcome in Christ.

Love in Christ.....

a Christian mom

I have bought 2 "Surviving an Affair" books for me and my W. She has not yet picked it up in a month and read it even thought I have encouraged her several times to do so. I have also mentioned Dr. Harley and his couseling, but I dont think she will be willing to sit down and do it with me. Right now my pastor calls her and she wont even return his calls. She really needs help at this point but I can only do so much, she needs to help herself and I hope the lord helps her with this.


I dont really have the money for Dr. Harley counsleing but I will work it in if she would agree to do it, but it will be a task to do so. I have a hard time believing she will do it.


Thank you for the such kind words Back. I need motivation at times, the nights the past couple of days has been very rough. Especially yesterday when she went and got seperation papers, and hasnt contacted me. She hasnt been home in 3 days, shes been staying with a friend.

God can reach her right where she is.

She still loves you.

Sometimes hurt kind of forms a "clenched fist" around the love in a person's heart... choking it up... but it's still there in the Lord.

Holy Father,

I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Satan! I take authority over you in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ and according to the power of His blood and the Holy Spirit... in agreement with the Word of God.

The Word of God states to "bind the strongman".

I bind you, Satan, in the name of Jesus and I break your power.

I declare that the captives are set free in the name of Jesus Christ.

Lord, may all reseentment, hurt, and anger... all "stuffed feelings" that are not of you, Lord, be released and evaporate.

Spring up oh well! Within her soul! Spring up oh well! And make her whole!

Lord, let the love of God for Zach flow freely from Zach's wife's heart.

Heal her. Strengthen her. Deliver her.

The Word says to be kind and tenderhearted forgiving one another just as in Christ Father you forgave us.

Father, I bless her in the name of the Lord... Yet I pray you would "hold her feet to the fire"... and cause her Lord to recall and remember her many sins. Take her eyes off of Zach's sin... and cause her to recall that except for the unmeritted favor, grace, and love of God... she would rightly and justly spend eternity in ****** paying for her own sins.

Let her remember her own sinfulness and your own goodness and grace in forgiving ALL her sins....

and cause Lord tenderhearted forgiveness to have free reign in her heart and soul towards Zach.

Let her decisions, Lord, be guided by you and your love.

Let there be wisdom.... let there be love... let there be true reconciliation between the tender and forgiving hearts of 2 Christians in your name.

Show her, Lord, that her "issue" is now between you and her.

When a person repents, we are to forgive. When there is real repentance... WE ARE TO FORGIVE AND RESTORE AND RECONCILE RELATIONSHIP!!!

There is NO Christian "option" for unforgiveness.

Break it off of her in Jesus' name I pray.

Give her wisdom... and cause her Lord to be truly protected. Give her wisdom Lord so that she does not expose herself to harm... but is open to true reconciliation.

For the ministry of Jesus Christ... the gospel of Jesus Christ... is the ministry and gospel of reconciliation.

Oh Lord... were we all to consider our own sins and your grace... we could not fail to forgive any.

Remind us of your goodness... and by your goodness Lord... lead us all to repentance in Jesus holy name and back into the paths of righteousness for your names sake where by we are reconciled one to another....

NOW!!!!

Your power is broken, Satan, in the name and the power by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I release ministering angels and the Holy Spirit straight into this situation NOW!!!... in the name of our most precious Savior... the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Wow...that prayer brought tears to my eyes. That is so beautiful I wish I could think of such great words as you just did in my prayers. God Bless you, I know god sent you to help me out Back. Thank you so much!


I know god will touch her. Christmas is going to be rough without her. And her Bday is on the 18th. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Also last night I FINALLy decided to stop chasing her. I havent heard from her since yesterday at lunchtime, and shes not on AOL Instant messenger like she usually is.

But I need to be worrying about myself <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


God will help us, I know it.

Bumping, as I occasionally do "just because"...

Praying for you!

Still praying!

Aloha All and blessings.

It is, indeed!

I'm trying to remember to bring this up weekly... so... **bump**!!!

We're still here... seeing who needs prayer and praying for YOU...

Wow, has it already almost been a month since this was last bumped up?

Praying for you...

[color:"blue"] PS: Ladies who would like to join our MB Ladies Bible Study discussion on Joyce Meyer's Woman to Woman are welcome to do so by clicking HERE! [/color]

I was thinking of this forum this morning and said a prayer for everyone who has posted in it.

I want to add a little something publicly.

Heavenly Father,

You know what the hurts and issues of each one in this forum are(and outside of it, too). You know what needs to happen in each and every situation. Please provide whatever it is.

I know confusion is not of You, so please bring peace. Bring families back together and restore relationships, both with loved ones on earth and with You. Sometimes when things are really tough it's hard to remember to turn to you, especially when we feel unworthy. Remind us that we can ask You to provide and heal. Sometimes we forget, especially when we're in pain.

Thank You for listening to my prayer, Lord. **May everyone here know that they are being prayed for today**.

IJN, Amen.

Bump!

Heavenly Father,

Please let this thread be a reminder to pray, reach out, and let someone know they're being thought about today.

This forum is filled with hurting people. Please bring knowledge, hope and healing to those in need.

For those who are wayward, [censored] their hearts.. for those who are betrayed, be a balm on their hearts. Lord, let these marriages be healed.

Give the children of these marriages a restored family... Until then, I pray the children have a safe, secure, happy place to be themselves... with as little suffering as possible.

Bring someone into the lives of these families who will be an inspiration... to heal the marriage... to look to You... and to be a comfort...

Cover all with your grace - the most beautiful word in the world... grace... precious grace.

IJN, Amen

I didnt even know this thread existed. thank you for having a heart and calling for this. Thank you for the prayers for the children.

Thank you
Lil

Still praying...

Be sure to look at the number of "Views" on your thread. See all those views? Those are the times people looked at your thread and thought about (and/or prayed about) YOU.

Don't be discouraged. We're here... we don't want to miss anyone... or hurt anyone who feels left out... so we don't reply to threads here and there... we just pray.

God bless you today!

This is the only one I check regularly.


Yep!

Blessings to all.

S&C


Praising His name....

Heavenly Father,

No long prayer today. I am tired. But I know you never sleep and my simple prayer will be heard.

Touch the hearts of all who pass through this place.

IJN, Amen

Heavenly Father,

If someone stumbles by this forum and into this thread, let them know that they are being held in prayer today.

Thank you for those who come by and pray for others and for AskMe who always keeps up on the devotionals. It may be the only good word that someone reads today.

Bless all who help bring healing to hurting souls on this site and elsewhere. Give strength to those who are tired. Give health to those who are sick. Hold the children in Your arms and keep them safe from the adult problems that surround them.

Thank you for the blessings we see daily, sometimes in the midst of suffering: a smile, a touch, a tear.

Shelter us from further harm.

Hold us. Keep us.

IJN, Amen

I'm going to copy and paste the original message on this thread because it's been awhile and if someone opens this up at the end I want the message to be repeated.


Heavenly Father,

Sometimes I have no words. Today is one of those days. You know my heart and the words I need to say.

Nobody wants to feel ignored... and I pray that anyone who comes by here and posts a prayer request knows that there are people praying, thinking about them, and wishing them healing - emotional, physical and marital.

IJN, Amen

~Bump~

Still praying for you...

Bringing back up to the top as a reminder... still here... still praying... still believing...

God Bless You TODAY!!!

This time is difficult, Lord...

... even under the best of circumstances it is stressful... but for marriages in trouble... especially when there are children... this time of year can be absolutely horrible. Add to that the economy, unemployment and cruelty we see around us... and it almost makes life seem unbearable at times.

Oh Lord, It should be a time of blessing and hope and instead it is a time of sorrow and fear.

For all who stop by here, especially those in trouble, please send healing, hope and even the more tangible things like food, shelter, winter clothes and can we even request gifts for the children?

For those of us who can, give us the desire and means to give.

For those in fractured marriages due to infidelity, please restore the hearts and commitment of the wayward spouse...

Give strength to parents... and joy to the children, in spite of the pain in their lives.

Lord, thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do in my life and the lives of others...

Bless us during these dark months... bring light soon...

IJN, Amen

Amen

Thank you for reminding me to come here, Lord... to send a little encouragement to someone in pain who thinks nobody is listening.

As we head into this new year, Lord, please keep us in your hands... I picture you cradling us as a parent... keeping us safe... so very important these days, especially.

Keep our children protected... keep reminding us to be parents our children can respect and admire... keep catching us when we fall... and forgiving our sins; we, who are so very human.

Thank you for never giving up on us, Lord...

In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Hey all, I really need your prayers at this time for my marriage.
I hope the lord can work a miracle and bring my WW back .


GodBless you all!

Here it is, the end of the month again. Thank you Holy Spirit for the gentle reminders to come pray and write.

Heavenly Father, with so much going on right now, both in the world and in our hearts, sometimes we forget that You are here. It's an embarrassing admission to make, Lord, but it's the truth. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the problems and hurts that we just want to soothe ourselves with whatever is handy... and what could be handier than our God who is *right here* if only we'd ask... yet... and this is as much for me as anyone, Lord... I have failed to come to you. I thought I could do it (whatever it is) on my own - oh, and I have tried!

Personally, Lord, I thank you for never giving up on me and for allowing me to come to you again and again... even when I've been away for awhile... keeping the cup of tea waiting, the home warm, and Your arms open.

Bless those who pass through this place... you know their hearts and hurts, Lord.

IJN,
Amen

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers...

Heavenly Father,

I am always amazed at the new level of hurts we see here at MB. When it happened to me I felt like the only one it was happening to... and I had nobody or anyplace to go... not that understood.

I am thankful that this place exists and that people in pain have others around them to listen, guide and give comfort.

I run out of things to say sometimes, Lord. But you know my heart and the hearts of everyone here...

Thank you for your unfailing patience and all-encompassing love, Lord. We need you now more than ever.

IJN,
Amen

I am asking for prayer that God will save my 20 year marriage. My husband is about to move out and has even rented a condo, but admits he has not yet moved out because he is unsure. I did a really great job for a week with plan A and it was working but then I had too much to drink and said a lot of things I think may have undone all the good.

I need help controlling my emotions. I am having a very hard time not saying nasty things because he did all of this behind my back. I don't know if there is someone else.

Please pray that my husbands heart will be softened toward me and that I will be able to control my emotions enough to do Plan A if I even get the chance.

Heavenly Father,

Coming here is so painful sometimes... not because my hurt is fresh, but because so many others is new, or lingering on.

Let those who come here know they are not alone, Lord. You are there, and others are here... to comfort, to prod, to listen, to lean on.

Let them know that there are those, like me, who drop by occasionally or often... and pray...

Give them peace as they travel this road, Lord, and let them know they are fighting a good fight... a worthwhile fight... and for the betrayed, especially, let them know they are worthy of a good, safe, healthy marriage. And if they aren't able to rebuild their marriage, let them know that they can still be a success alone.

Take care of the children, Lord. They are the truly innocent victims.

IJN,
Amen

Heavenly Father,

Light our way. Guide our steps. Remind us not to rely on our feelings, which deceive us. Protect our families. Thank you for being here, always, even when we're too devistated, too sad, too angry, too lonely, and/or too confused to remember. We love you.

IJN, Amen

I ask humbly that you pray with me to heal our 16 year marriage with my wife and myself.

Currently I am unemployed and have been for nearly a year. The last 3 years have been very tough for my wife and family (4 boys) and myself. My wife has now told me that she is looking for an apt and will leave me to deal with the mortgages and upkeep on the house. I barely make enough in unemployment per month to cover the just the primary mortgage.

Our Heavenly Father knows our heart and that we have truly tried and are not giving up in trying to make our marriage work. I believe with my whole heart that God can change anything and everything! I pray for a miracle for my wife, myself and our wonderful boys. Please I humbly ask that anyone who reads this can also reach out to our Heavenly Father to touch and soften my wife's heart and soul that she does not make decisions that may make our future even more difficult.

I Thank You and may God Bless You for your thoughts and prayers, because I know and am sure that he hears them.

IJN,
Amen
