Amanda,<P>Have you read "Power of a Praying Wife?" If not, you should get it.<P>We cannot change our spouses. We have to leave that up to God. <P>It is wonderful to pray for you H, but you need to pray for yourself too. <P>May God cleanse your heart, make it pure, and change you first. <P>I know this is hard, but we need to look inside ourselves first, and change the wrong in our hearts.<P>I am praying for you and your family. I know how badly you want this. God can and does heal marriage. Be patient. It's not over yet.<P>God Bless,<P>Cheryl

Never give up hope. I also will keep you in my prayers.<P>Remember, that God can bring good from anything, even that which is evil. I once thought that I would die if my husband pursued a divorce... well, we are divorced, and I'm still here. Praise the Lord, it was actually a better thing for me. <P>I'm not abdicating divorce, I hate it with a passion... more now than ever before. But you never know what God's plan is.. just keep praying, and we'll pray right along with you. Please feel free to email me if you'd like.<P>best wishes,<BR>Kristyn<BR>

Oh, Avance - please don't give up on prayer or on God. Remember that He EVENTUALLY answers all our prayers, even if we do not like the answers we may get.... <P>When we are blessed, and do get what we truly want, remember that a lot of times, you and God are not on the same timetable. Things happen when they're supposed to - not always when we want them to happen. Sometimes there are lessons to be learned, first.<P>My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I join my voice with all the others who are supporting you with their love and good wishes, and with the power of their prayers. Good luck and God bless.<P>------------------<BR>Anne46<BR>

avance-<BR>You are in my prayers as well. I also whole heartedly recommend the book The Power Of A Praying Wife. I also recommend The Excellent Wife. <BR>When my husband left me, I kept asking how could he do this to me? I felt like I had always done the best I could and he was the one who needed to be fixed and worked on. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT!!! And the biggest change in my marriage came when I started praying that God change me and make me the woman he has called me to be.<BR>A woman from church keeps reminding me that sometimes we have to go through the fires to be pure.<BR>Never let go of your faith. God is always listening. MARK 11 : 22-27<BR>
