please pray for me- this is coming to an end if I lose faith and I am so weak physically I need all of you to pray for a miracle as you read this- please help me.....<P><BR>H and I looked at homes to buy last night- and was excited - good weekend- then he snapped and accused me of goingthru his things. He walked out and said never to call him again.....We had planned a trip to reconcile ,etc- did he get too close again.<P>If I was guilty in his eyes, I explained then he should have taken me aside and asked me why I had the need to do such a thing- instead he walked out...... Money is $o - and he just leaves....and says he never wants to see us again....Please pray for the Spirit to soften his heart and for God to open his eyes and heart and bring this thing together. How does one swing so quickly?<P>Please help me make some sense of this...........God needs to rectify this and only prayers will help.... Please answer me, someone.<P>------------------<BR>Sad MOM<BR>

This must have been so hurtful. You get your hopes up and even take action that seems to back it up then they turn. In the last three years my husband has told me either he has or was going to end the relationship with the ow. Each time it hurt when I found out he hadn't really or had started calling her again. Now it is hard to wait as he has moved out and does see her. She lives a 1000 miles away but was here for an extended stay at Christmas. It hurts so.<BR>Sad mom I know though that God in in control. It is so hard to let go od something so sacred and also something you know God wants to work out. But He has to work it out. During my prayer time God again showed me to let go. Nothing is impossible with God! Hole on to that fact. Also did you try[ Texls@aol.com ] That is the address I have now. Ask him about the standers and the prayer and fasting group. He should be able to forward it. Again let me know if this is to no avail. I'll check back.<P>Dear Father, Give sad mom your strength to hold out. Lift her up and show her your love. I pray she will come to you seeking you and that through that prayer time she will come to know you. In so doing she will feel more peace and comfort KNOWING you are GOD and You are sovereign. Nothing is impossible with you.<BR> "The Lord is my light and my strength<BR> Whom shall I fear?<BR> The Lord is the stronghold of my life<BR> of whom shall I be afraid?"

Dear sad mom,<P>I know your heart is heavily burdened, and at times like these we can't help but feel abandoned by the Lord. He said if we followed Him, He'd never give us more than we can bear. Why then does it feel like our heart is buckling under the weight upon it? Give your troubles to the Lord. I pray He'll lift them from your shoulders. Please don't give up, if you continue to feel like the only option is to go to the Lord, remember that He has a plan for you, and somehow this terrible time in your life is part of that plan. He works in strange and mysterious ways, but He loves you and has not forsaken you. <P>This has helped me through some hard times, and I hope it helps you:<P>I was regretting the past, and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking: "My name is I AM." He paused. I waited. He continued: "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WAS. When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WILL BE. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM." (credit Helen Mallicoat)<P>You'll be in my prayers. Please continue to let us know how you are doing, and know that there are people who care for you.

Sad mom,<BR>How are you doing today. To be honest I haven't been reading the infidelity posts since they broke it up. I'm not sure where most the people I know posts. Also I find that there are many pople on the forum that do not appreciate prayer. That's why I was so glad to find the Bible study here. I really like the fellowship and the chance to pray for each other. I am convinced that praying is the only answer and griping doesn't do much good. I knopw it is good to vent, but praying is so much more positive. Hey, one of the guys on the pray and fasy group has a chat room open on Fri nites. He has his own web site. I joined in last night for a bit. We pray and encourage each other. It is positive and good fellowship. Take care and I am praying for you.<P>Father,<BR>I lift up SM to you in prayer this day. Let her hear your knocking on her heart door. Let her open the door wide and invite you in for the day. Give her increased faith and comfort this day. Let her see your work in progress. Jesus come to her husband and convict his heart and let your love grow where once confusion, and temptations lived. Fill SM with your love and grace. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Dear Lord, I come before you tonight to ask for your divine intervention in sad mom's marriage, and for her health. Please give her the peace that passes all understanding, and strength to get through this trial. Show her how much you love her. Please convict her husband and call his name. Reveal his sins to him, bring him to repentance. Lord, please soften sad mom's husband's heart, and turn his eyes and heart back to his family. In Jesus Name I Pray, AMEN.

Sad Mom I continue to lift you in prayer.<P>Father, Oh merciful Father. You say you will never give us more than we can handle. I pray your comfort for SM. I pray Lord that you use all that is going on to accomplish your plan. I pray that this husband and this son will wake up in your name Jesus. I pray that you lay your healing hands on SM right this moment. Nothing is too big for you. I pray you give SM an extra measure of faith today. Pray she receive fellowship in your name and she feel far from being alone. That she feels your presence in it all. Amen.
