Every Wed. we pray and fast for one another for resolution to our marriages and our lives. Every Wed. we can check in and let our fellow prayer warriors know we have prayed for the group. Prayer does mighty things and group prayer is even better. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matt 18:20. We send out the prayer post on Mondays so everyone has an opportunity to check in and to add their own personal prayer request if they want to/need to. Then on Wed. we can check in, hit the "Post Reply" button, and enter "Amen". I think it will be great to see how God works in our lives and heals our marriages and us. If you want to pray with us I will be more than happy to add your name to the list below. Prayer Warriors who are praying and being prayed for: -.{159 Prayer Warriors and counting} cajunky . Ezra .

“Power of a Praying Wife”
His Wife
Pg. 28 – 29
Who, Me?…Change?
God can resurrect the deadest of marriages, but it takes humbling ourselves before Him and desiring to live His way – forgiveness, kindness, and love. It means letting go of the past and all hurt associated with it and being willing to lose the argument in order to win the battle. I’m not saying you have to become a person void of personality, feelings, or thoughts of your own, or be the the whipping post for a husband’s whim. God doesn’t require that of you. Submission is something you give from your heart, not something demanded of you. Jesus said, “He who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:39). But laying down your life is something you willingly do, not something that is forcefully taken from you. What I’m saying is that your attitude must be, “Whatever You want Lord. Show me and I’ll do it.” It means being willing to die to yourseld and say, “Change me, Lord”.
Pg. 29
The Ultimate Love Language
Something amazing happens to our hearts when we pray for another person. The hardness melts. We become able to get beyond the hurts, and forgive. We even end up loving the person we are praying for. It’s miraculous! It happens because when we pray we enter into the presence of God and He fills us with His Spirit of love. When you pray for your husband, the love of God will grow in your heart for him. Not only that, you’ll find love growing in his heart for you, without him even knowing you are praying. That’s because prayer is the ultimate love language. It communicates in ways we can’t. I’ve seen women with no feeling of love for their husbands find that as they prayed, over time, those feeling came. Sometimes they felt differently even after the first heartfelt prayer.
Pg. 32
Shut Up and Pray
There is a time for everything, it says in the Bible. And it is never more true than in a marriage, especially when it comes to the words we say. There is a time to speak and a time not to speak, and happy is the man whose wife can discern between the two. Anyone who has been married for any length of time realizes that there are things that are better left unsaid. A wife has the ability to hurt her husband more deeply than anyone else can, and he can do the same to her. No matter how much apology, the words can not be erased. They can only be forgiven and that is not always easy. Sometimes anything we say will only hinder the flow of what God wants to do, so it’s best to, well, shut up and pray.
Pg. 34
While honesty is a requirement for a successful marriage, telling your husband everything that is wrong with him is not only ill-advised, it probably doesn’t reveal the complete truth. The total truth is from God’s perspective and He, undoubtedly, doesn’t have the same problem with some of your husband’s actions as you do. Our goal must not be to get our husbands to do what we want, but rather to release them to God so He can get them to do what He wants.
Pg. 41
Letting Go of Expectations
Accept your husband the way he is and pray for him to grow. Then when change happens, it will be because God has worked it in him and it will be lasting. “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him” (Psalm 62:5). Your greatest expectations must be from God, nor your Husband.
PRAYER
Lord, Help me to be a good wife. I fully realize that I don’t have what it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into kindness, long-suffering, and the willingness to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic reactions, rude assumptions, and self-protective stance, and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love, peace, and joy (Galatians 5:22,23). I am not able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only You can transform me.
Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband. I confess the times I’ve been unloving, critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward him. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I feel and forgive him the way You do – totally and completely, no looking back. Make me a tool for reconciliation, peace, and healing in this marriage. Enable us to communicate well and rescue us from the threshold of separation where the realities of divorce begin.
Make me my husband’s helpmate, companion, champion, friend, and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place fro him to come home to. Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him. Grow me into a creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul, and spirit. Make me the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife.
I lay all my expectations at Your cross. I release my husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to You. Help me to accept him the way he is and not try to change him. I realize that in some ways he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I never thought he could. I leave any changing that needs to be done in Your hands, fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be. Only You, Lord, are perfect and I look to You to perfect us.
Teach me how to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language of love. Where love has died, create new love between us. Show me what unconditional love really is and how to communicate it in a way he can clearly perceive. Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about everything (Amos 3:3). May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus (Romans 15:5). Make us a team, not pursuing separate, competitive, or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each other’s faults and weaknesses for the greater good of the marriage. Help us to pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another (Romans 14:19). May we be “perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement” (I Corinthians 1:10).
I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger and more passionate every day. Enable him to be the head of the home as You made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership. Help me to understand his dreams and see things from his perspective. Reveal to me what he wants and needs and show me potential problems before they arise. Breathe Your life into this marriage.
Make me a new person, Lord. Give me a fresh perspective, a positive outlook, and a renewed relationship with the man You’ve given me. Help me see him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion, and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife, and let it be me.
AMEN!

I will be praying and fasting (Department Christmas luncheon Wed - oh well) on Wednesday for all of you. Please say a special prayer for guidance for me. If you check out this post Need Godly Advice you will see the dilemna I am in. Although I believe God is already given me the answer. Also, pray for my wife, I know God is working on her heart. She is meeting with her close friend tonight, and I prayed that she will guide my wife (she is a Catholic). God's Blessings, tryingTOsaveMYmarriage

Please pray for my H to overcome his addictions (God knows what they are). Please pray that the Holy Spirit falls upon him & he is led away from the people who are a bad influence around him. Please pray for me to stand firm in my faith, firm in my beliefs, eager to do more for God than I have been doing. I ask all this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Please pray for me this week. I will be traveling into Mexico next week for the Holidays and am pretty nervous. I am traveling alone (flying) but meeting other family members there. Pray that I have a safe trip, enjoy my time there and have a safe drive back. I will be meeting a friend in Texas coming back and then driving the rest of the way to California from there. May God be with us, guide us and protect us. Thank You!
I will be gone for 2 weeks but will still be logging on the 'net for posting.
God bless you All!!!

Heavenly Father, I ask that You would give hopeful safe passage as she travels over the holidays. Protect her from the sides, the top and bottom, from above and below, and even from within. Lord, give her spirit peace that You have a purpose for her life and that You will determine her destiny, and no human will have authority over her demise. Father, give her an ear to hear as You speak to her on her journey. Open up opportunities for her to witness to fellow travelers. Allow her to extend a helping hand to those around her. May she remove the loneliness from someone's day. May she be a witness for the kingdom. Let her speak with wisdom and authority, with love and good cheer. And let Your love, Your mercy, and Your grace be with her in the days ahead. In Jesus name. Amen
Father God, we come to the throne of grace asking that You would come to the rescue of standing's husband. Father, You know the hurt and pain that drugs inflict on families and friends. How they rob life from everyone involved, user or not. Lord, I ask that You would remove this yoke from her husband. That You would set the captives free. Lord, hear our prayers for this situation. Father, we ask that You would forgive this man before he even asks. Reveal to him the unconditional love You have for him. Father, we plead mercy over him, that You would deliver him from this bondage. Make him a great disciple to others caught in this wicked world of drugs. We bind the enemy and his evil schemes off of this man. We lose all the powers of heaven to come fight this battle. We ask that this man would be saved. We thank You Jesus that You are our intercessor to the Father. That you are our advocate. We praise You for what You have done, and for what You are about to do. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

I will be joining you tommorow in prayer. thank you God for guiding me to this site.
I ask that you include me in your prayers, specifically for strength to continue on the right path. There continues to be no contact with the OM but I do realize I am still in a fog about it all. One week ago, my husband and I told each other that the bad times are over. He kissed me and said "It's over". Of course he was talking about all the heartache that occurred through out our marraige due to our inablility to communicate and understand each others feelings and needs and his belief that I was unfaithful many years ago. He has wanted the struggles between us to be over for a long time now. I have been unable to open my heart back up to him. I complicated everything 2 1/2 yrs ago, especially my own insides, when i choose to have an affair. I fear that his words cannot ever become a reality but I really do want to try again now.
We have both grown a lot since we first started this marriage.
We have had 7 solid days but at times I am feeling the same fears and disbelief I have felt since I first decided I wanted out of this marriage. Please pray that I can continue to face and deal with these feelings as they come up as opposed to trying to bury it all, put up a wall and numb the pain with destructive distractions.
In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Howdy all,
Just thought I'd drop in and rest a spell and to bring this thread to the top for people to see and join in on.
TTSMM,
Doesn't the most tempting things come your way on the days you're fasting? I like Krispy Kream Donuts and we don't have them over here (YET!) I have been, on more than one occasion, offered KK donuts while fasting. And yes the Christmas parties all seem to fall on Weds.
h98,
I hope you have a wonderful trip and a safe return. hope things are working out as well as can be espected.
DZZZ,
Love seeing your smiling face. Have you been keeping an eye on sg whilst I've been busy? Is he still claiming to be a Dr.?
uhhhh... Oh sg... ...didn't know you were in the room. Stop sneaking up on me like that. How you feeling big guy? ...breath'n any easier lately?
HPK,
I'll be praying for the ruling and a mtg between you and your W.
SFM,
Your H is in my prayers as you are too. Keep your focus on Christ and continue to build your R with Him.
Finally,
You continue to impress me young lady. Keep in mind, it took years for the things to happen in your M that made it the way it was, it could take a while for the "Titanic" to turn around. Be steady and faithful. My W and I still have our rollercoaster rides.
I just wanted to incourage you that I feel real good about what can happen with your and your H.
I want everyone else here to know I continue to lift them all up as well.
Bless everyone here and those that haven't read this too.
Love in Christ.
S&C

And gifts! We need to bring gifts!!!
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Ok, how bout some oldies but goodies? Would that be ok???

Well, just checkin in. I am all ready for Christmas now. sigh .....
I am really looking forward to seeing my boys!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I am still a little burdened right now. I am trying to pray through it. I think it might be just that so much has happened this year and I have also figured out I might be interceding.
Hope you are all doing well???
DZZZ

Groovy baby!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> This is Dr Single from the Loveshack Clinic. Do you think a little thing like a lobotomy is going to slow me down!!!!! Plus, until they catch me I don't need a license, right!!!
Oldies but goldies, huh!!! Are you talking songs, or the participants!!! Sounds like we will need a little prunejuice punch with that fruitcake!!! Or is that what the chocolate's for Dzzz??? Just so you know my specialty is colonoscopy. It's a fitting occupation as some feel I'm full of it!!! With the chairs moved out to the outer walls, I can have everyone bend over their chairs and I can do a group inspection! I said group inspection, not poop inspection. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> The first game we'll play is called "Geeeeeez, that's cold". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Then we'll play "Oh My God, My God, My God!!!!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> You'll have a "deeper" understanding of good health!! You'll get a chance to meet my lovely assistant Lovey Kravesit!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> She "digs" me!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> And since it's Christmas, consider this my personnal "gift" to each and all of you!!! What a nice guy!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> So when shall we have this little shindig??? Christmas is just around the corner! Plus my time is critical. I have political aspirations you know!!! Waiting to hear!!!!

Ok, so the chairs are moved, the punch is ready, chocolate's been laid out, we have fruitcake, the oldies (cd's and participents) and the colonoscopy equipment.
We are ready to Parrr-tay! Hey sg, did you load film in the colonoscopy? After a night like tonight, we want to remember what everyone looked like.
Actually sg, sometimes you worry me, I think I'll just pray for you instead. "Lord give this man a sense of humor... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> .
So where's everybody else? The Christmas songs are playing, DZZZ's got her Santa hat on and everything. OHIT's sitting on her lap makin' wishes. Sg's over by the punch with this strange look on his face and pokin' people with something as they walk by.
And just like every year, no one touches the fruit cake. Now I have to pack it back up and save it for next years party... AGAIN! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Laterz gang.

You are all TOOOOO funny!
I'd like to join the party. Please, just don't poke me! I'm too shy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" />
I think I'll just sit in a corner and watch. Don't mind me. I was going to try some fruit cake, but since it's from last year....never mind. Not too familiar with the oldies though.
Well, hope we all have lots of Fun!!!
Thanks!
