I just found out my husband has left on vacation with ow<BR>and don't know where they've gone. He is also looking at houses with her. We are separated, but he has not mentioned <BR>divorce. He has no contact with me or the kids. I am trying so hard to walk the high road and not look back and have any regrets. I pray and pray that God can enter my h's heart convict him for all these wrongs. I pray for patience and guidance and courage. I am surrounded by wonderful Christian people, but it is still a very lonely battle. Can I please request prayers from anyone reading this that my h receives Salvation (I was saved in January, right after d-day) and pray for my sons and me also. Thank you and God bless.

I have gone to the restore site and I have read the testimonies which does give me hope. I just talked to a Christian attorney and he talked to me for 45 min. and said he would not charge me (I was amazed) and he told me to stay on the path I'm taking and believe that God has a purpose for me and that God wants my marriage reconciled. I'm feeling better and I'm still working on the concept of surrender. I truly think I've now handed my husband and this situation over to God. And I'll keep praying that I can stick with it.

I pray for you and for your marriage to be restored. God will bless you and is blessing you. Thank Him every day for all your blessings. Let go of the situation all the way. You are not going to change your husband but the Lord can and will. Pray and fast. Pray for all of us on this forum. You are going to see the hand of God at work in your life every day and it's worth every minute of pain. <BR>Pray hard for Gentle who is leading so many of us.

Verysad<BR>I am very sad hearing what you are witnessing before your very eyes. You are a very brave woman and I applaude you for being willing to hold your marriage up to God. As Trying said, God WILL bless you for doing His will. Ask God to hear your prayers and ask Him to be true to His word in these two verses: I Chron 4:10 and II Chron 7:14. Read these and make them your words to God. In II Chron 7:14 the word land is your marriage and family. God will heal your land. ALSO, pray Psalm 88:18 God WILL remove the lover and the aquaintence. Submit everything to God. He wants your whole heart no matter what your husband does. We will pray for you. Ted ><>

Thank you very much for your prayers, it means so very much to me that total strangers can care this much. I have wonderful friends and a great support group so I know I am truly blessed. I have three friends who are pastors and I am able to consult with them. I have gotten a tremendous amount of comfort from reading the bible. I am a baby Christian, just since Jan. so this is all very overwhelming. My husband is looking at houses with ow, but it doesn't hurt as bad because I know I can do do nothing about him or her or the situation, it is entirely in God's hands. He will do vengence on them and I trust in Him to take care of me and my children. I am very saddened by the amount of people who are all suffering through these very painful times. I know we are all getting stronger and wiser, but it is a sad way to have to do it. I pray for all of you going through the pain of infidelity and I know we will all be better people for having suffered through with God at our sides.

verysad,<BR>my heart breaks for you as I have been right where you are.I have been married for 20 years and my husband and I have split up several times, once because of his infidelity and the pain was so bad and the despair so great that I turned it over to the Lord who restored my husband and my marriage for me. This was almost 13 years ago but one month ago my husband left again, this time not because of another woman but because he says he does not love me anymore. Today I asked the Lord to for help once more as I can not face this alone. Looking back I wish I had done so much differant but I can't turn back time. Keep strong in your faith and prayers. I have prayed for you and will continue to do so. Please say a prayer for me.

Don't forget that God is our Father and wants what is best for us in the long run. He wants us to come home to Him and to bring lots of people with us, especially our families.<P>It is sad to have to go through this but it will be worth the pain in the end. I try to think of it as labor pains - I had never been in so much physical pain in my life as when my daughter was born but just holding her on my tummy for one minute was worth all of it. In the same way, we will get the reward for our suffering and it will all be worth it. We can't see that right now but we have to trust and believe.<P>If God is with you,who can be against you? You have the strength of the Creator on your side. Ask Him for a miracle and remember He has a different schedule than we do and His is perfect... :-)<P>
