Someone else out here, "Takola" prayed "Lord, let me learn quickly what I am suppose to in this situation". I think this is good because it takes the focus off our spouse and on to us.

I will be praying that "God will renew the spring of your love" I wish you both a peaceful weekend! LW

Jonah,

PS. It seems to me that you are growing stronger! Way to go! LW

Sounds par for the course. But the increased conversation is progress.

But remember, don't forget that those breakthroughs won't come without the little victories (like increased conversation).

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I was awoken this morning with a prayer rushing from my mouth "GOD renew the spring of our love."

God gave me a gem in the form of unbelievable peace that lasted for three days (back in March). I had no anxiety, wasn't freaking out about my W going to work with OM. Just peace. I thought He was telling me that no matter how things turned out, He could heal me of any pain or hurt I went through. And noth'n says that praying in the spirit can't be in English.

I have a post I will send as soon as I get time. Hopefully it will be of great encouragement to you.

Bless you.

Jonah,

Went forward for prayer in my church this morning. Asked the pastor to pray for you.
I hope this weekend went well. LW

Thanks Loyal,
we actually did have a good day Sunday, heard an inspiring message at church Sunday morning, then got served with D papers Monday night. I'm trying to hold it together, first I was upset, then a calm was there, I know it was the Lord. I still and believing for restoration and for a god-filled marriage with my wife ellen. Just following his guidance....if you will continue to pray.

Jonah,

Still here. Just checking in. How are you doing?
I will continue to pray. LW

Lw, thanks for the concern,I'm just trying to hold on. Each day as you know is a struggle, with some good and some bad. I've been asking God to bring his presence into our marriage and reveal his power and love, and am slowly seeing signs, just ask you to continue to pray and stand in faith with me for our marriage to be restored.

Jonah,

Just checking in! You OK? LW

Sorry fellas I haven't been in in awhile, just really trying to press in and then it got busy at work. How are u LW and Steadfast? My situation has not changed, as I stated earlier my wife filed and I am trying to hold up and let GOD do in me what needs to be done to make our marriage work... Wife is semi distant not as much as before but not where I'd like her to be. Please pray.

Well howdy stranger,

Been wondering where ya been keeping yourself.

Good to hear your W isn't as distant. Things don't ever seem to move as fast as we'd like them to. But then again we look back and see how long the rollercoaster ride has gone on and we are amazed.

I celebrated my 1 year d-day Nov. 17th (celebrated the fact that we were still married). I also celebrated my 19th Anniversary on the 26th. We went out to a nice restaurant and strolled around the hotel grounds (watched some dolphin watching us). We had a nice time. But I still have my bad days.

Of course never stop praying for you and the rest here.

Will talk to ya later.

Hey Jonah!

Good to hear from you! I am praying for you.

If you want to see how I'm doing see my "LW- Practicing MB Principles" thread. Still counseling with S. Harley. Its going slow for me also! LW

Yeah right about now i need to really talk..i am struggling.

Hey jonah,

What's up?

S&C

Jonah,

Just checked in. Talk away, I'm listening...LW

can we talk from my email address **edit**

Jonah,

Do you mean email back and forth and not post here? I think thats what you mean? Right? LW

Jonah,

I emailed you. LW

Jonah,

I emailed you again from an address that we can talk on. LW

Hello Everyone,
I have read through this post and want you all to know I will be praying for all of you. I have been praying for my marriage to be restored for over two years. There are a few other sites on the web that have been encouraging for me. Send me an email if you want the addy. Please continue to believe God will restore your marriage. God can do anything, nothing is too hard for Him. He has done this for others and He will do it for us. I believe we must be close to our precious God and come to a point in our life where we want God more than we want our marriage. Then I feel my marriage will be restored. I am growing closer to Him daily.

**edit**

Jonah,

Good talking with you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> If you have any specific prayer requests please post them here.
So all the "warriors" can join you in prayer.
thx LW
