First I want to commend you on even being brave enough to post your cry for help..Now there is another cry you must do, if its in your heart, truely in your heart you must cry out to the Lord.

YOu are right, you are trying to do things msns way to make things happen, God will not bless for it isnt his way. Ill try to explain and others my want to jump in and do a better job, I always welcome any insight into what Gods word means to othersd so people feel free..

First of all, I sense in trying to win the arguements there is alot of PRide in you both...
Look in your bible, look in the back, find the word pride, read the scriptures given. Pride is a sin. God wont bless it. Pride can lead you to so many paths of destruction. You must lay that down, and its a tough one to do..I am not going to give ou any scriptures because I want you to pick that bible up and look for yourself. Take sny word, pain, suffering, pride, lust whatever look and its there, with scriptures telling you Gods way.

God doesnt like to see any of his children hurt or suffer, he can not and will not bless things until you completely lay it down at his feet.I saw a play one time and it described it perfectly, 3 people had backpacks filled with rocks, ones pack was realy full over flowing and heavy, the other 2 had less but out of th e2 one had just a couple.
Each person described the things in their packs and what the rocks symbolized and laid those
packs at Gods feet, and as they prayed adn asked the Lord to carry their burdens, each understood, matter the size or weight or amount of the burden big or small, God doesnt care, if it brings you pain they are all the same...But you have to put it down and walk away, let it go...Follow the voice inside oyurself, I believe your conscience is Gods voice gently reminding you of what is right and wrong.

YOu want the Lords blessings???Can you handle them all??? You really want all he has planned for you??? Pray for it, ask for it , and be humbled.

"Lord, take this womans hand lead her to your path.Lord she is your child and she needs your guidance and love. Lord she has so many desires in her heart and you are really the only one who can see it.You alone know her heart. Wrap your arms around her give her a comfort she needs to walk this path she is choosing, bless her and her family, Lord help this family heal and be whole and to follow your desire for them and not mans. Help her to resist the temptation of picking up her problems and making them work. SHow her hte way Lord. We thank ou Father, we know to follow your will isnt a eas task, but a fulfilling one in the end. Amen"

Please let me know how you are, I couldnt email did not see a address...

AW, you are the greatest. I am smiling today and not letting my love for her and needs take over my mind. Yes, I do feel that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I keep fighting the mental ogres that keep creeping up in my mind. I spoke with Mother-in-law. She is on my side. She sees the changes I have made for my family. She also suggested to give it time. She also stated that my wife is not looking for a divorce. This was comforting to hear. Time will tell. Thanks again.

missmyhoney, When things seem impossible, praise the Lord. When you feel down and are hurting, praise the Lord. Let Him love you and take the heavy burdens from you.

Father, I pray for missmyhoney, asking for an infilling of the Holy Spirit for her. Holy Spirit, please intercede on her behalf to the Father. Lord, I pray that this marriage is restored according to Your will and for Your glory. Lord I pray for this family, please protect them from the attacks of the enemy. Let them be washed in the blood of Jesus Lord. Touch them Lord, please bring them together, united with You. Father we love You and praise Your Holy Name. Lord I pray this to You in Jesus' name, AMEN

PS: I can't give you the verse, but the bible says everything must start with repentence. A repentent heart is a teachable heart, a changable heart. God says He sets himself against the proud... but comes to the rescue of the humble.

Thank you all for your prayers. I talked to him tonite. He called to talk to the kids. It's the first time in months he's actually talked to me instead of the kids. Usually its the dutiful hows school, dance lessons etc. Tonite he talked to me. Let me in on his day etc. Let his guard down. I know it's not much but it means a lot to me considering the way things have been. He even voluntarily said he's coming to visit. Up til now he's said absolutely not. Thank you all!!!
