Thanks for all the prayers.. Here is an update. Haven't spoken to him in a week. He did not take S this last weekend. He keeps telling me he wants to leave OW but he doesnt want to hurt her son. He calls me when he is on the road and is nice as pie. If we talk and he is with or OW is somewhere around he is nasty. I feel that our prayers of thorns to be put between OW and H are working and for a marriage to be restored. <BR>please keep up the prayers.<P>Michelle<P>He even says he thinks he needs to get help, counciling havent heard that before. Iam taking that as a sign from God.<p>[This message has been edited by tigger (edited July 19, 2000).]

Dear Michelle, I read your posts and I am reminded of how my own situation was like yours. My H was living with OW and making tentative and hesitant suggestions that our relationship was not over. It was a time of hoping and hurting as the process seemed so very slow. I prayed through it and have had a number of changes occur in my life. After 3 years, the OW has apparently tired of my H's refusal to let go. I am feeling like the OW these days. H has been home for 18 days (a record) and although the first part was very rocky (the cause came to light) because the OW was unhappy with my H staying with us. I do think she has realized what I knew all along, he does love his family and things just have never been over between us. I am offering you some encouragement (and I am praying for you). The OW seems to have made a firm decision (I was praying that she would desire a righteous relationship and that the Lord would give her strength and wisdom). We also prayed that she would know the truth. It finally happened and I am amazed. God can do this for you and your H. Lord, I lift Michelle up to you. I ask that you care for her, that you would show your love for her in many ways. I ask that you would provide for her every need, emotional, financial, physical, and that you would stand in the place of her H during his absence. Lord, use this time to help Michelle and her H to grow and find happiness on their own. We ask that the OW would be convicted of what she is doing, that she would be diverted from Michelles H, that thorns would continue to drive Michelle's H and the OW apart. We ask Lord, that you make your righteous plan the strong desire of Michelle's H. Lord, you know the situation, you have a plan to restore these lives and we thank you that you are working to do so now. You never sleep and your timing is perfect. Lord, please give Michelle your perfect peace as she waits upon you. Remind her that she only needs to rest in you, listen to you, and trust in you. IJN Amen

Father I pray that you will continue to work to strengthen this marriage and restore it for YOUR glory Lord. I pray that you will bring her husband to the cross and he will surrender his heart and soul to YOU, commit his life to You and then to his family. Lord, I pray that you will continue to strengthen and bestow your peace and your love upon tigger, giving her all she needs to face this trial and to rejoice when YOUR will comes to pass and this marriage is restored. Father, bless tigger and thank you for her. She has been a source of great strength and support to myself and many others who have experienced much of the same things as she. Bless her heart Father, and may YOUR light continue tos shine for all of us to see. I also thank you for AW, she is a remarkable teacher of the scriptures and also a great source of strength and hope. I also thank you for everyone else that prays together for each other at this site. I thank you for the people that created this wonderful site. May it forever stand to be a place where believers can come, share their testimonies, and grow together in christian love and support for each other. Bless this wonderful site Father.

Father be will us all in our daily lives and guide us as we strive to walk closer to and with YOU everyday.<BR>These things I ask and pray in the name of Jesus,<BR>And ALL GOD'S children said;<BR>Amen and Amen.<BR>

Heavenly Father, thank You for helping each of us get through our trials. Your hand in our lives is so evident Lord, and we praise You and worship You for all the good things that have happened because of You. Lord, I know that You have tigger and her husband's best interests at heart, and know exactly what to do in their situation. I pray dear Lord, that You will hasten the restoration of this marriage, if it be Your will, and in the meantime, fill tigger with Your deep peace that transcends all understanding. Let her not grow weary in doing good, but to keep her eyes and heart securely focused on You. Show her Father what it is You wish her to do, Praise You Jesus for taking care of her. Jesus, please petition God on tigger's behalf, pleading her case. Holy Spirit I ask for divine intervention in this family, and that You intercede and pray what we are unable to pray. Thank You Lord, for your mercifulness, and the grace You give us. Your unending love is what keeps us going. All praise and glory to You Lord. IJN AMEN
