Please, please pray with me.

My H said hes had enough and wants a divorce. I asked him to hold off a week till I talk to him about how I feel about divorce (he already knows, but I want one last shot).

Weve been separated nearly 2 years, have a child nearly a year and a half. He still has contact with OW (shes still with her H, he knows whats happened) and her family.

Help!!!

Cheese,

As a former cheating husband all I can say is until he cuts off ALL contact with the OW there is going to always be major doorways open to tempt them.

Lord , please bring this man to his senses and remove the scales from his eyes so he can see his selfishness as well as your plan for him to stay with the "wife of his youth" and the be a proper father to his child... In JESUS name amen

Cheese, my heart hurts for you and I will pray with and for you now.

Dear Lord,

HEAL this marriage! I call upon your holy name and claim your promises that you will answer our prayers and you will heal and restore and bring life where there is no life.

I come to you now and pray on behalf of this dear woman and her marriage. Father, I pray that you would remove this other woman from this man's life COMPLETELY! May she have NO influence on him or this marriage. Humble this man and bring him to his knees. May he call out to you and may he seek forgiveness from both you and his wife.

Lord, restore the love they once had. Do a new work in this marriage! Heal them. There is great change that will have to occur, and I pray you will bring it to pass. Nothing is too difficult for you Lord!

Give this woman hope and give her peace. Be near her and bless her desire to remain committed to her husband. May this man see the beauty in her and may he be drawn to her. Help her to reamain steadfast. Fill her with your spirit and be nera her.

Give her wisdom and courage and strength, and please Lord, soften this man's heart. May he have no peace and no joy so that he will turn to you and repent. Draw him to you. Give him no rest until he cannot stand it anymore and he repents and seeks change and forgiveness.

Lord, I pray that Satan will have no influence and no hold on him or this wife or this marriage. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I rebuke the enemy and all his demons and I command that they flee from this family!

There is hope in you Lord. Please bring healing and life to this seemingly hopeless situation. And again, remove this other woman from this man's life. May she even move from the area and be never seen by him again. I pray you would keep them apart. I pray that this man would think about her and be repulsed at his sin and the thought of her. I pray that he would be filled with love for his wife and child and overwhelmed with a desire to be with them.

And Lord, whatever this wife needs to do to win him back, give her wisdom and show her. May she be blindingly beautiful to her husband and may your peace radiate from her. May this other woman be blindingly ugly. May he see her as a nag and as an enemy.

I pray all this is the name of Jesus Christ,
AMEN!!

Cheese, please keep us posted! Do not be downcast and do not lose heart even if it seems hopeless. I am praying with you and the Lord has heard our prayers! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Luke 18:27 "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

Psalm 50:15 "Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

I don't have anything as wonderful as Deb to say (she's very loving and in tune with the spirit! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> but I do have a scripture that has always lifted me up in hard times.

Isaiah 41:10-13 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness . . . For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
