I had just about my entire town praying for me and my H whe he was having a very involved affair with a single coworker during the past 6 months and in April he filed for divorce on me after 15 yrs of marriage and 3 kids together. The Man Upstairs intervened directly and convicted my H in his heart about what he was doing. The same day he filed for D on me in April he came home at lunchtime saying that divorce was what he definitely wanted, that counseling wouldnt help, that our marriage was HOPELESS, that it wouldnt affect our 3 kids etc etc! That very night he started crying and said that he was making the worst mistake of his life.H Yes, he came to this decision when he went back to work that day- when I was on the phone with my pastor praying for God's intervention in our marriage. God DOES LISTEN! I really recommend the book The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie O'Martian- that book is full of inspiring prayers for troubled marriages. God will never leave you nor forsake you. I am praying for all those affected by infidelity. I hope my real life story is inspiring to someone. Dont give up! lifeismessy

I guess Satan is having a good time with me today.<P>BTW - in my posting to Plec I mentioned that last Thursday I literally FELT the Lord lift my burden off me, and take it. After that, I had a grand couple of days. Nothing got me down, I just shrugged off any mention of my H and his "absence", etc. NOW, last night, and tonight, it's back to feeling DOWN again. I KNOW God is working.....I KNOW God is going to bring this Prodigal home. I feel Satan is working OT trying to prevent whatever work God is doing right now.....cause I FELT GOd doing His work through me last Thursday.<P>Also have been reading "Power of a Praying Wife" faithfully as part of my morning devotional time. I read my Bible, pray for my other requests, then read a chapter from that book, and the prayer in it for my H, a chapter for each day of the month. I KNOW he's feeling it!! It was only after I had been praying from that book for a month that his heart "softened" and he accepted my letters, and then actually talked to me on the phone! TWICE! Nicely. <P>But despite all the praise reports, I need your prayers today. I need them to continue believing and standing....I KNOW it's only "5 minutes till the miracle."<P>Thank you to all my faithful brothers and sisters.<BR>Lupo
