Please pray my wife's choice is the best for our family. I dearly wish to stay together yet am facing more and more evidence to the contrary. Her heart is hardened and I only remind her of my failures.

We wish to give the proper life for our children and not have hatred. The love I feel is what I wish in my life, and I must endure the pain of not being her love without losing mine.

My faith is but a dim ember in the darkness. I do pray yet know my doubts weaken my faith. Pray I find His plan and change how I must. I love her so but have no excuse for the disappointment I caused her.

Please add my family to your prayers. I try to learn what I can and be a better man, husband and father. I have been blind, foolish and ignorant but always, always loved her, our children and simply wish to have our family with love.

Proud.
Some info that gave me a place to start was found in the site Free First Aid Also a site called Marriagehealing.org has an online prayer room where people will talk to you and help you find your strength in God. They have been really great for me. Good luck to you and I will pray for you. God Bless your family. K

PP,

God can replace your wife's heart of stone and give her a new heart of flesh. Nothing is impossible for God.

I found God's plan for marriage at this site.
www.restorem.org Gave me hope and God has already moved mountains for me.The book from here is almost all god's word. Really changed me and my situation.

Pray Eze 36:26 with your wife's name in it.

Your prayers are appreciated, thank you. I shall visit the sites, attempt to put my doubts aside and try to place my faith in God.

Proud, don't be too hard on yourself about the doubts. Remember Jesus said that faith as small as a grain of mustard seed can move mountains.

Your prayers count and the Lord weeps with you. He loves you so much. May your wife become aware of your concern and compassion for her and Christ's love for her.

Love her as Christ loves the church.

Dear Lord, comfort PP tonight and increase his faith. Open his eyes to creative and meaningful ways to deposit good things into his W's love bank and heal this M. Nothing is impossible for You. We seek You to demonstrate Your mighty healing power in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Prayer Request: Please keep me in your prayers so that I can give my son the love and support that he needs during our separation from my H. Also, for me to gain strength to deal with whatever lies before me and what is to come. I also need extra prayer to be patient while God is working on my husband so that he can come home where he belongs. And in the meantime I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Thank you,
S
