Just joined tonight. Not really sure how this all works but here goes. My wife has really hardend her heart and has left no room for reconcilation. She is not the same women I once knew. She has filed for divorce after 17+ years of marriage and two daughters. I made allot of mistakes and was not overly sensitive to her needs...now I wish I could take back all the mean rotten things I said that were damaging. Being a Christian, I believe God can do all things. But right now it seems very bleak. I have no lawyer yet, and have about two and half weeks to respond to the court papers.
I would appreciate prayer for restoring, guidence, wisdom,strength and understanding.

Prayer can change things, and you have mine. I figured out one thing about divorce having been there. You can always remarry. I mean if the distance and the time can help heal whatever was broken, perhaps you can come back together in the future and remarry. Take the time and work on the things you know you did, and let her figure out what she thinks she wants and can find outside the marriage. I know for a fact that the grass is not greener, it seems that way but I have suffered having left my marriage of 22 years and at times I have prayed to have it back problems and all. God knows what the future holds for all of us and it might be that you will reunite, and it might be that there is someone else for you and your girls. Prayer will hopefully soothe you and help you see the answers. until then.

Brakeman:

Is your wife a Christian, too? If so, what exactly is she using to justify the D spiritually?

As for your request:

Heavenly Father, please provide our brother with patience, strength and understanding during this time of crisis. Please allow him the time to appreciate the many gifts you have provided in his life, and protect his daughters from more attacks from the enemy, Lord. Please restore his faith in You, acknowledging that with You, all things are possible. Please send the Holy Spirit to soften his wife's heart, and bring the grace this family needs to restore itself. Please send a message to this man's wife so she sees that unmet needs are not sufficient for spiritual divorce, and we ask that her plans to rend her family apart fail, if it is Your will. Please continue to watch over this family, let them give thanks for all Your gifts in their lives, and provide them with the light of Your truth for a clear direction in Your path. In Jesus' name we pray...

God Bless You and Your family...

It is Satan who wishes that families be torn apart. We are engaged in spiritual warfare.

brakeman,

Amen to awake's prayer. Brought tears to my eyes and asked God to do the same for my M.

"There is no circumstance that can thwart the will of God in my life. Absolutely none." Oswald Chambers

This may sound cliche but it helps me to know that God is in control. He can see the big picture. I pray for you peace and guidance during this dark time.

In my prayers,
landslide

AMEN to the posts

Our God is a Mighty Tower, and He loves us with and everlasting faithful love, deeply and unchanging. Make Your will known here Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen
