Well, I'm feeling so tired and blue today. It has been such a struggle and my H still isn't quite understanding me. He has some good points, but our "discussions" just seem to leave one or both of us very frustrated. I've been praying a lot more, and my family has been praying too. I love him, but it's really hard to be strong with a future that is so unsure. Please pray for us! Help us to be in tune with God so he can let us know which way to go, or at least so I can feel some peace in my heart. Thank you! C.G.

A,
Dear Lord, I pray for this W that you would strengthen her and give her peace in her heart. Turn her H away from these inticements and help him see how being involved with these things hurt his W and their relationship. Open his eyes Lord, he is being blinded. I pray you bring another christian man into his life that will talk to him about his relationship with you. I pray that this H repents of all the wrong he has done and turns to you. In Jesus Name, Amen!
I hope this helps. Let me know how you are doing. LW

Loyal Warrior, It is so cool how you have so much love to go around, you are praying for so many people! It's wonderful! Thank you! I admire your strength and compassion to look outside of yourself, when surely you are dealing with life too. I have found a little peace this afternoon, I went to see a counselor, and it was nice to get another view on things, and be able to vent. She recommended that my H and I came together to talk with someone there. I fully agreed!
So now the challenge is to get my H to look beyond his past counselling experience (he frowns on it because his childhood, parental divorce counselling was silly and unproductive to him) and come with me to try and iron things out. And maybe between God, my H, I, and a counselor we can line things out. *crossing fingers*
I've been reading on this site and asking for help. So, now my hope is that my H will also feel motivated enough to join in the effort. I'm just so emotionally tired that it is so hard. I'm really struggling on giving a lot of my worries to the Lord and refocusing myself to work on me and school. Wish me luck! God Bless You!!!! ((HUG)) C.G.

Angel, Please go to www.restorem.org and read what God can do to restore marriages. I didn't truly understand god's will for marriage until I read the book from here. God spoke to me and changed me and my situation so much.The testimonies of restored marriages are awesome. I will pray you go and let god heal your marriage. Remember God tells us not to put our trust in man but, to put all our trust in Him. gentle

Thanks for the advice gentle! I appreciate your insight. I read a little of the site and am considering trying to get the book. Funds are a little tight, so, yeah. Have an excellent day and God Bless you for your helping hand. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> C.G.
