Hello everyone,<P>This is the first time I have posted a topic but , I really feel the need for prayers now. I have had a great deal of faith for months now. Last week I began falling into despair over what I am not really for sure. Most of it is lies Satan has been yelling at me. My husband and I have grown a lot closier the past four months. He has been spending more time here at home. The past week he has been in a hurry to leave when he gets here. I am not sure what is going on but, Satan is using it to get me down. Please pray that God will give me the strength to get over this despair.There are a few other things that may be reasons also.<BR> <BR>I am doing a pretty good job of hiding this from family but it is beginning to show. <P>Also pray that my husband grows closier to God and that God puts someone in his path to show him he needs to go home to his wife and children.<P>Thanks for your prayers,<BR>gentle

Gentle,<BR>I pray that your husband will understand your need for his continued support. Try to turn a deaf ear to Satan. His lies are malicious and painful and can sometimes lead us to destroy ourselves. Have faith in the father, and he will do the rest. Peace to you...

Dear Gentle,<BR>Sometimes when you are climbing a mountain, you have to take a few steps down to find a better path. This is a little setback but it's not the end. You and your husband might be "resting" for the final push. Don't pressure him in any way. He might be scared of going back. Show him how you've grown. You are so sweet and have been such help to everyone. Don't worry about this and don't give the Enemy too much thought. The Lord is Lord of all. Your faith can't be taken away from you and neither can the power of your love and your prayers. You are a light and you will continue to shine. Take care and I will absolutely keep you in my prayers. God is with you. God is so good. Pray for His will. It will be okay.

gentle, I will be praying for you and your husband. <P>Lord, thank You for being our rock, our fortress, our hope in times of trouble. Lord, we believe that You are always with us, no matter what the trial. Father, I pray that You would fill gentle with joy in You and send her Your tremendous peace. Let her be a beacon of Your light for others. Father, I pray that you would break the power of satanic attack on gentle's husband's life, I ask in Jesus' name that the strongman is bound and his house spoiled. Lord, I ask in the name of Jesus and by the power of His blood that a hedge of thorns be placed all around gentle, her husband, and their marriage, protecting them from the attacks of the enemy. Bring her husband to his knees, Lord, that he may call upon You in his day of distress. Lord, I stand on Your promise that no weapon formed against gentle's marriage shall prosper! Father, I pray that all forms of sin that her husband may be involved in would become disgusting and revolting to him, causing him to turn from his wicked ways and to You. Father, please turn gentle's husband's heart first back to You and then to his wife and family. Thank You Lord that You have the heart of gentle's husband in your hand, and like a watercourse, turn it whichever way You please. Lord, you are the almighty One, Your immense greatness we cannot fathom. Glory and honor to You in the highest dear Lord. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN
