I desperately need prayer. D-day was 16 months ago and although we are reconciled and doing pretty well....I am always full of fear my H will have another A. I stay uneasy when we are not together....I cry alot....more than he knows about because I don't want to hurt him by showing him that I don't trust him. He still works with the OW and that is painful to deal with also. He has had no luck finding another job so far. Please help me. My H is remorseful and treats me well and is doing all the right things....but I am unable to trust him and I want to so very much. He is so understanding and patient with me but I know it hurts and frustrates him that I am not more trusting...I love him so much. But I am destroying myself with my fears and I don't want to be this way....please someone pray for me...pray for our marriage....pray for H to find another job soon so he won't have to work with the OW....I am running out of strength.

Dear Lord, thank You for Hopeful Again and that You have helped to heal their marriage.

Help Hopeful to be just that--full of hope--help her to experience the freedom complete forgiveness brings. Help her to surrender the wounds to You--You came to bear our burdens and You have taken her H's sins upon Yourself and forgiven.

Hopeful has been able to forgive but not to let go of the fear of being betrayed again. Lord, please open doors for her H to have a new job or XOW to be transferred so that Hopeful and her H have a better chance of moving forward in stronger recovery.

Grant her your peace, I pray in Jesus' name.

Hopeful, hugs to you. The Lord wants to set you free. Don't give up hope. If He could heal me of 15 years of depression, He can enable you to trust your H again. You are blessed--ask God to open your eyes to see the ways your H is blessing you now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hopeful,

Dear Lord, Please bring peace into this W's heart.
Give her strength as she is in the process of rebuilding her trust in her H. I pray this in Jesus Name, Amen.

I wish you peace! LW

Hopeful, I emailed your prayer request to Knightmare. I'm sure he'll join our prayers for you as soon as he reads it.

Hugs.

freshstart,
Thank you so much for doing that for me. My H is out of town on a business trip and I always have such a rough time when he is gone because of my mistrust....Having a bad day. I appreciate your prayers....God Bless You.

((Hopeful)): Have you and your H gone for counselling? Even if your H is not willing, it may be helpful for you--you could explore the trust issues and ways to rebuild. It would be best if your H would agree to joint-counselling.

I don't know how H found it in his heart to trust me. I remember feeling terrified that I might meet up with OM after the A. Not that I would go back to him but what would happen?

Maybe your H actually experiences such fears, too. Let's also pray that he can trust God and trust himself to be faithful as well as your trust being renewed.

Do you put little notes in his suitcase when he goes away? Does he call you to touch base?

Try to keep busy. You can work on the house or a hobby or do some volunteering--find a constructive use of time to increase your joy.

God, please bless my new friend and continue to heal her heart. Amen.

Father God, I thank you for Hopeful Again, I thank you for her tender heart and I thank you that recovery of there M is going well. Lord I know that you have great plans for this couple in what you have for them, but right now those plans have been blinded from them in this fear she has. I pray that you would give her strength and wisdom to talk with her H and that he would be understanding of what she is going thru in her emotions. You are a great God and we thank You for all you've done to bring these 2 back together and for all you are going to do to restore the trust that has been breached in this M. We pray also that H would not have to work with XOM any more and that You would put Your hand on the hearts of all who are involved here. Again Lord I want to thank You for the answers to these prayers that have been spoken over H.A. and that she would trust again. In the Mighty, Strong and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Isa 41:10,13
