Hello.
Thank you for allowing this post for prayer. The Lord transcends boundaries that we cannot through prayers.

I am struggling as my WS continues to seek divorce.I believe that Father God <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> has spoken to my heart that He will stop the divorce and reconcile our marriage. My faith and pain is strangling my belief that He will and that He can do this even though her free will is rebelling against anything pertaining to Jesus or me.

Please pray that Jesus will clearly speak to my heart from the Word. Pray the WS would soften her heart towards God causing her to return to Him. Pray that my WS would let me see the children and have time alone with them. Pray that my two DD would be sheltered and protected in this time. Pray that the OM would fall out of the picture; that he would be convicted about plowing in my fields.

Most important - that I would seek Jesus completely; Trusting in Him and His abilities and not my own; getting in the Bible everyday and every night; praying faithfully and ceaselessly; removal of all bitterness and anger; receiving peace that surpasses all understanding; ability to laugh and have joy; rejoice in this trial and suffering - desiring it be done to His Glory - praising Him to consider me worthy.

Thanks ahead of time for your prayers. I am sorry if I missed acronyms. This is only me 2nd day and I am finding it hard to remember things right now.

Welcome to MB Prayer Forum, JoeCM,

Dear Heavenly Father, we ask that You bestow Your Grace and Mercy on JoeCM and his family. Give him the courage and strength, through the Holy Spirit, to live Your Word through his thoughts, actions and words. Invite Jesus, Your Son, and our most precious savior, to touch his W's heart; to open her eyes, and let you in. As only Your Infinite Love can turn people from thier sins to the path of righteousness.
We ask this prayer, as sinners, who have been forgiven and justified by the death of Your Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. Amen.

JoeCM,
We, at the Prayer Forum, pray and fast every Wednesday fo the restoration of our lives and marriages. It has been a source of peace for many of us here, to pray to God together, not only for ourselves, but for others experiencing the same pains and sorrows. Would you like your name to be added to our list?

May God give us His Divine Grace to accept His Will in our lives always,
TTSMM

Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up JoeCM and his wife, asking that a complete restoration of their marriage be done. Father, I pray that the OM in this situation will lose interest and leave. Father, let there be no peace and no rest for JoeCM's wife until she turns from her sinful ways and turns her heart to You. I pray this in order that JoeCM's wife may live a life worthy of the
Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that JoeCM's wife may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified JoeCM's wife to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For He has rescued JoeCM's wife from the dominion of darkness and brought JoeCM's wife into the kingdom of the Son who she loves, in whom she has redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:9-14 Lord, I thank You that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper. Thank You Lord for the promise that tells us Your word shall not return void. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN

I am so amiss. I forgot about the prayer section on this board. Let me tell you - I like many other is definately in need of prayer. My wife has not changed and now the girls know that something is going on. WW is kissing and hugging this guy in front of them. I am going to have to say something to her - I have been very layed back because I am getting counsel to love her and not upset her. I have been told to not call her work or this OM. Legally I have to be careful. Anyways....
We have a court date for a Visitation Hearing on Dec. 2nd. She refuses to give me equal time and has come up with a lot of excuses that have no basis. She is still trying to get me served a restraining order for the DV charges. She says she wants to do mediation or a 6 month seperation where we can work on the marriage...etc...

My prayer for all here:
Dear Father God, thank you for breath that enables us to lift up our voice to you in praise and workship. Praise you Jesus for your ultimate sacrifice. May we remember all that you have done and rejoice in being righteous from it in the eyes of your Father. Lord Jesus, please advocate for all of us as we desire your will of restoration and reconciliation to be done in our lives with our Spouses. You are all powerful and you know the beginning and the end of all our situations. Please Lord bring peace into the BS hearts. A peace that is not of this world but is of you. A peace that says "let nor your heart be troubled and do not be afraid". Lord sort out what is of you and what is not of you in the advice and counsel that we receive. May you be glorified in the restore marriages that you have done and are doing even now. Help us to trust in the unseen where our faith and hope lies. Help us to not stumble and grow weak but strengthen the feeble knees! Praise you Jesus - Bless you Lord. Fill us Holy Spirit - empower us for the works of your ministry of reconciliation! Thank You Jesus - Help!...Amen
