I shall pray for you! You must forgive your husband so that you can be forgiven. <P>Father, I pray that you will come in and wipe away the anger and hurt in Your childs life. Let not the devil continue to play mind games with her. Father, you said, Let not anything separate us from You. <P>Child, you must seek God with all your might and with all your strength. What would you do if you did not have God or your health and<BR>strength. God will never hurt you or cause you to feel so much despair. God works in his time. Jesus said that there are some who pray and believe and after a little while they fall by the wayside. Then there are some who stand like a rock planted by the water and will not move until their prayers are manifested. This takes a true, God-fearing and believing christian. <P>Ask God to show you the tricks of the enemy to get you off track. The devil is trying to take any peace from you to stop believing and trusting. That's his job! Don't fall for it. <P>You must forgive this man for the wrong that he has done! I speak from experience. God moved in me to forgive and then moved on the circumstance in cleaning up my husband's life. <P>God is so true to his word of faith. Even though you sound so depressed, you are still blessed. You have your health, you can get up every day and do what you must, even when you don't feel like it. You have the ability to run and walk, to have food to eat, to lay your head in your bed and wake. Give God the praise and the glory. Don't give up. Do you think that being a christian is supposed to keep you from going through things. It's how we react to trials when we are going through them determine how long we must endure.<P>Father, I ask that You give this child of Yours, peace that surpasses all understanding. You did it for me and now I ask it humbly in Your name to help this child. You are God and there is no one else except Your Son Jesus. Pick up your word child and read the Bible. I promise you, it will help you. <P>God Bless!

Dear Shadonna<P>Thank you for your prayers, I will try to bring God back into my life and try to get the feelings back that I once had for my husband but sometimes I think it will just not work out.<P>I just feel completely numb and devoid of feeling andything other than bitterness towards him for what he has done.<P>I am sorry i didnt answer sooner but we were away together for a week to try and make things better and for that week i was nice to him for a change but as soon as i got home to the familiar surroundings and all of the bad memories i feel the same again<P>but i promise i will try to pray more<P>thank you<P>gabrielle

God won't give us anything that we can't handle. When I found out about my husband's affair, I thought, not my husband- not my marriage- he loves me to much. Then I got angry- how and why did God do this to me, to us, I thought that we were okay. But, sometimes He works in mysterous ways. Maybe this was your sign to start being an active Christain, maybe this is the only way that he knew to get through to you. But, you have to forgive before you will begin to heal. You have to let go of his actions and seperate them from him as a person and look further. Your husband is there, even under all that resentment, anger, and fear, you feel for him, he is there. You both need to be able to let go, to fogive, not necessarily forget. I will keep you in my prayers, it was hard for me to learn how to forgive too.

Thank you lucia <BR>I talked to my husband the other day and asked him how he thought the holiday went (we went to Lanzarote for one week without the kids to see how things would work out) He said he felt things were okay for a couple of days but after that he felt that we had just drifted apart and he didn,t know what was going to become of us and i agree with him i just dont think there is anything there between us anymore but none the less for the first time in years today i went to confessions in the church we got married in and i had a good chat with the priest. and i asked gods forgiveness for the awful way i have treated my husband in the past year. i dont hold out much hope for our marriage because i think at this point he would probably rather leave and is only staying because of the childen. maybe i am wrong but i sense the time is coming near when we will brobably part and this troubles me deeply because i could not forgive him<P>thank you again i really appreciate your prayers<P>gabe
