My wife and I have been married for 27 years. We have 3 fine sons. I suffer from manic depression illness and as a result of my behaviors including an affair she filed for divorce. I ended the affair and asked her for forgivness. She says she has forgiven me but still wants a divorce. When I have brought up the subject of reconciliation, all she will say is "you never know what the future may bring". Right now she is pursuing a masters degree and will be moving 900 miles away in about 6 weeks. I love her dearly. Please pray for our family. Thank you

Dear Donor,
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.
It sounds like you and your wife had had some real struggles over the years. Please be patient with her and in the meantime take this time to draw near to the Lord and seek out His will for you to be all you need to become while praying and waiting for the Lord to soften her heart towards you. You have the opportunity to witness to your boys and your wife a "renewed" committment to your marriage vows so that your kids learn to stand strong when the going gets tough in theirs and so that you and your wife can have the kind of marriage God had intended for you to have.
Lord God,
Please help Donor to draw near to you and feel your presence and a hope for his marriage. Reveal to him the things he can do to better cope with his condition so that his wife will have hope of having a truly happy relationship, fullfilling in every way. Be with his wife and help her to recall the things that made their relationship so special in the beginning and recall the good things she's experienced with him. Be with their sons Lord and help them to cope with the changes ahead and give them hope as well. Thank you Lord for sending Donor to this site and I pray it provides him with the encouragement and resources he needs at this time and in the days ahead. I pray too Lord your reveal your Word to him as well and it's Truth and Hope. May you be honored and glorified through his faithfulness and perseverance, and obedience to stand as long as it takes. Bless his entire family.
Thank you for what you're doing and will do.
In the name of Jesus our Hope and our Redeemer I pray, Amen.<p>ONTHEMEND
