Hello - my husband is planning on moving out any day now. Please pray for him and for us including our little daughter. I am worried about him getting lost (he is already very lost) and I'm worried about me being tempted by other men and being tempted to give up, even though I don't want to. I need the strength and the faith to go forward. He is not happy at least but he is ready to go. I think he just wants some action - any action.<P>My temptation is to give up in a year and move closer to my parents or one of my brothers and sisters. I hope that I am going to be able to wait longer but I only have a few years to wait at most because if I want to ever move back to the US, I have to do it soon or my daughter will not be able to fit in. Please pray that this situation gets resolved sooner and pray for my husband's conversion. Thanks to all of you for your support which is so precious.

Trying,<P>You are in my prayers. Please don't put time limits on restoration. Of course when God brings him back,it will not matter if you are on the other side of the world he will find you. Maybe the separation will have to happen for you two to come back together. Don't give up or in. Tell Satan he will not win this family. God's ways are not the world's ways.<P>In Him,<BR>gentle

Dear Trying, My prayers are with you. I know how it seems that God isnt in control of our situations, but we know the truth that He always is, it just dont feel or seem like it most of the time. Dear Lord, i pray that you give my sister Trying the strenth to make it the rest of the way on this narrow road to marital recovery. Give her your peace and rest when she becomes anxious. Oh Lord how i need the same also. Lord your word says if we commit our plans to you that you will make them succede, especially when they are your will, for you say also in your word you hate divorce. Lord teach us to wait patiently on you as you heal our broken homes and marriages. In Jesus name, Amen<BR>Mark

You are in my prayers. I will prayer for patience and peace . . . that you will experience God's grace. Prayer is an amazing thing and it can bring change . . . but in God's time, not necessarily ours. I know how lonely you must feel . . . I am not in another country but I have no family around me so I have had to rely on myself . . . and I am learning to rely on God.<P>Love and hugs going across the ocean . . .<P>Patti

I really thank you all for the prayers. Life feels good these days. I am going to Medjugorje Yugoslavia for a pilgrimage and I just can't wait. I am not angry at my H at all lately. I still have to work on myself but I really believe he is coming home and I feel like I have the strength to wait now. (I hope it lasts but it feels great right now!!)<BR>Thanks again - I pray for all of you too.
