Please God, let free spirit's husband find all the love he has for her and turn back to her. Let her husband come home to her and make things right.<BR>

Father, for you, time is of little consequence for those things you have in your plans for us. Satan throws these time constraints at us to confuse and panic us. Father, you are in control of all things! Thank you for the work you will do in this marriage.<P>Use this time for your glory, to do the work you have in mind for freespirit. Help freespirit to continue on the path you would have her go that her husband will see the difference and be encouraged to follow up with Steve. <P>Father, the battle is for the mind, as you have told us. Holy Spirit, intervene and block all thoughts that are not honoring to the Father. Pour in truths that cannot be denied and soften hearts to hear the truths. Remove all blinders and let the scales of lies and deceit fall to the wayside. Let freespirit feel the hope and peace that can only come from the Father. IJN, Amen.

That is great that you were able to talk with Steve. I have had several sessions with him, his wisdom was most helpful. My husband also talked with him and I could tell whatever he and Steve discussed made an impact on him. I'll be praying that your husband will talk with Steve.<P>Thank You Lord for enabling FreeSpirit to be able to speak with Steve. I pray that You will use Dr. Harley as an instrument in the restoration of this marriage. Lord, please pull out all the stops in persuading FreeSpirit's husband to return to their marriage. I know it is Your will that a husband and wife are reconciled. I pray that FreeSpirit and her husband will put You first in their lives, and in the middle of their marriage. Lord, please remind FreeSpirit's husband that divorce is sin, and You hate divorce. Please go to this man, and heal him. Turn his heart to You Lord. Open his eyes and ears to Your Word and Your light, turning him from darkness to the light of Jesus Christ. Thank You Father for working in their lives. Your love is so greatly appreciated. Every day I will praise You and extol You now and forever more. IJN I pray, AMEN

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate you praying for me and my husband. I will pray for you and your husband. I hope that Steve can help him with his drinking problem, and to restore your marriage. I have faith that God is working in both of your lives right now. May God continue to intervene in both of your lifes. May he give you strength, confidence and inner peace.

Hi everyone. Just to keep you all posted. I recently found out that my husband is very unhappy at work and is looking for another job. He is also unhappy living with his parents. His grandmother told me about his job. When I talk to him he says it is hard living back home. Steve told me in the next few months he should be having a difficult time. I hope I can reach out to him with Steve's plan. I think my prayers are somewhat getting answered. Please continue to pray for us. I will keep you all in my prays. <BR>By the way my name is Katerina

Katerina, I will keep you both in my prayers. Dr. Harley is really good, isn't he. Read and re-read the Plan A stuff, and keep doing it, it works. Sounds like your H may be realizing soon that life without you isn't so great.<P>Lord, thank You for causing things to work for Your good and Your glory in Steve and Katerina's marriage. Lord, we stand on your promise that God hates divorce, and wants marriages to be reconciled, as marriage is a covenant never to be broken. "For what God has joined together, let no man separate." Thank You Lord for this promise. I pray that this unbreakable covenant is revealed to Steve. Help Katerina to put on the full armor of God, protecting her from the attacks of the enemy. Draw her and Steve close to You, Lord. Holy Spirit, please intercede on their behalf to the Lord, praying with groanings that cannot be uttered, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought. Holy Spirit please make intercession for them according to the will of God. Thank You Lord for your unending love for us. I will praise Your name all the days of my life. IJN I pray AMEN
