My husband has gone to work 2000 miles away from us for I don't know how long. We have been working on restoring our marriage for 7 1/2 months. Things were going very well until this out of town job came up. Before moving back home one of the promises he made to me was to never work out of town again (Last year during his affair he worked out of town a lot). I have told him I feel his leaving will destroy all that we have worked so hard to renew. Dr. Harley also told him in our counseling sessions that he should not go to CA. <P>He recently made the decision to stop drinking during the week; he is now staying with two of the heaviest drinkers of his co-workers. <P>In talking to him, I can feel the hardening of his heart in the way he speaks. Please pray that the Lord keeps on softening his heart, removing the presence of the enemy. <P>I am having trouble sleeping, and feel abandoned. Please pray. <P>My prayer request is first for my husband's salvation, for the Lord to keep my son and I on my husband's mind and in his heart constantly. I pray that the Lord calls to him and tells him to come home. I pray that God continues to work on him, and convicts him mightily. I pray that my husband misses me terribly and longs to come home. I pray that the Lord keeps him from any thoughts of adultery or actions leading to it. I pray that the Lord give me a peaceful heart, and takes away the pain. IJN AMEN

Father, In the name of Jesus we come before you and lift up AW. Lord You know her heart, and her desire to see her h saved, set free from the chains of alcohol that bind him. Father we ask that You send the Holy Spirit after AW's h, Lord no matter how far he runs we ask that Your Spirit be there reminding him, wooing him drawing him to Yourself. We ask that witnesses be placed in his life everywhere he turns. Lord that these witnesses be given the words that will reach AW's h. That will show him he is on Your mind, that You care for him. We ask this secure in the knowledge that Your word says that it is not You will that any should parish, but that all should come to redemtion. <P>Father just as Your word says we are written in the palm of Your hand, we ask that you write Aw and her son on her h's heart and mind. Let him see thier faces before him everytime he closes his eyes. Let him hear their voices and words of their love for him over and over.<P>Holy Spirit we ask that you convince and convict him of sin, and show hiim the road to Christ and to his family.<P>We ask that You place a loning in his heart for his family that is over powering. Lord that he will have no desire execpt for You Father and his family.<P>We ask that you place angels around him Father, warring angels if need be, to protect him from the plots and plans of the<BR> devil. Father we come against the spirits of lust, selfishness and adultry in Jesus name. We bind them from touching AW's h in any manner. Lord your word has given us power over the plans of the enemy. and we as Your children exercise that power in You name Jesus.<P>Lord we also ask you to touch AW's heart, to bind up her wounds. Lord hide her in the shadow of your wings. Remind her that You are her rock and her fortress, her high tower. That You are her strength. Father we ask that You give her peace, Your peace that surpasses all understanding, as Your word says you will.<P>We thank you that you always hear us, just as you always heard Jesus, because we are in Him and He is in us. We give you all the praise for these things Lord, we know we can do none of the things we have asked of You, But You Lord are able to do all things. Thank You Father, in Jesus name Amen. <P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>Hepatitis C, educate yourself ! <A HREF="http://hepatitis-central.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://hepatitis-central.com/</A>

<BR>Thank you all so very very much for your prayers. They are working, I have felt much more peace and comfort since asking for prayer. The Lord knows my heart means well. He is right here all the time, waiting for us to cry out to Him, asking for his help and guidance. I appreciate so very much your prayers for my husband and me. God is working.....<P>Deb, thank you so very much for your moving, powerful prayer. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as I read it, reassuring me. Wow. I re-read it and prayed in agreement, and will wait upon the Lord to bring his work in my husband's life to fruition. I pray the Lord blesses you abundantly, enriches your marriage and gives you great rewards for your faith. It is so encouraging to be able to come here and pray with each other. Thank you again.
