Please pray for the healing of my marrigage. I am totally in love with my wife and (step) Daughter, they are the only true family I have ever known. But do to my arrigance and failure to deal with my feelings , my lieing and verbal abuse has led to a seperation with a court order of protection. I have and continue to adderess my problems. But being away from the ones you love is so very hard. But I am following the order and making no contatc giving her the time she needs. I pray daily for the restoration of our marriage and continue to keep the focus on me and woirk to improve myself. I do now know what it is like to homeless. This hurts more than anyting I have ever been thru.

Dear Father in Heaven, please guide this man with your gentle touch. Bless his heart and give him the strength to triumph in his situation. Lead his wife to an understanding of his sincere desire to salvage the marriage that you brought together. Fill his heart with strength and peace and give him the wisdom to know what it is that you have called him to do. When he is weak, Lord, make him strong. For it is with you that all things are possible. It is not your will that any marriage should fail, so show him the way. When he cries to you Lord, have mercy on him and grant him peace. For it is your name, Father, that I ask this. Amen.

RidenSober, does your username mean you stopped drinking? If so, that is GREAT! Being married to an alcoholic is a heartbreaking life for the one who doesn't drink. I truly believe that if it wasn't for the Lord's protection, I would be in a rest home or dead. All because of alcoholism. <P>Our God is the god of miracles; I believe He wants to work a miracle in your life and marriage. Stay on your knees in prayer to Him. <B>The Lord</B> heals broken marriages..... He will take what Satan intended for evil and destruction and turn it around for His glory! <P>Father, thank You for being the master of all miracles. Lord, I praise Your name and glorify You. Just the sound of your name brings peace to my soul, and I thank You Lord, for all You do and are. Father I thank You for bringing RidingSober into light, for revealing the Truth to him. Thank You Lord for drawing him ever so close to You, comforting him, bringing him peace. Lord, I believe that NOTHING is impossible for You, including putting this marriage back together, stronger than ever, with You in the center. Lord your Word says a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Father, cause RidenSober, his wife, and You to be a cord of three strands. Lord, I pray that You will equip RidenSober with all the armor of God to fend off the attacks of the enemy. Thank You Lord that You have delivered RidenSober from the grip of the devourer. Lord, I pray that You will soften RidenSober's wife's heart, and draw her unto You. Heal this marriage Lord, I pray. In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior I pray, AMEN.

I will pray that you are able to overcome your problems and get your life straigtened out. Hang in there for the ones you love.
