My H and I are going to our first counseling session on Saturday. I need some prayers on this. I try not to pray for what I want, but to pray for God's will to be done and let him handle it. I'll take it from there. But, I honestly don't even know this time what I should be praying for. My H has made it very clear I am not worth working for, in this relationship. I want to try and make it work- but I have this feeling like everyone around me wants it to fail. My H and I have been doing OK for the last few days, but last night we fought again. He accuses me constantly of having an A with just about everyone. Will counseling work, or are we, just like he always argues, wasting valuable time and money on a hopeless cause? Please pray that something "good" will come from our counseling- whatever that may be. Thanks, God Bless and I'll pray for all of you, that is, if a sinner's prayers count.

I lift your situation up in prayer. By now you should have already met with the counselor, and I am hoping it provided you with some clarity.
You are right to seek "God's will." Our "expectations" often end us up disappointed, especially when God often has something in store even better than we could ever imagine.
Keep praying and working on your relationship with God. God's "will" will unfold in time.

Hi Ani79,
I'm glad to see you again. The good thing is is that he has agreed to counseling. Praying and giving it the best you got, at least you can say you tried. Maybe your husbands heart will change when in counseling, he'll be able to see more, learn more, and possibly it will work. It does depend on how much love, caring, and effort are put into it, and pulling out the weeds.
It's Sunday now, how did your counseling session go yesterday? Sometimes the first time is very stressful, and full of mixed emotions, but I hope it went well.
May the Lord lead you both and heal your hearts!!
Sent with Love, Ladysheep
