My husband and I are in crisis. My husband had an affair physically and emotionally about two years ago. We are in counselling and have been for the last few years. I feel spent and exhausted. We have been separated, but are currently in the same house. We have two precious boys, ages 4 and 6. I am calling out to God and to his people for prayer.

I know we both hurt. I know God is faithful. My husband doesn't seem open to God right now. More than anything, I don't want to misstep. I can't preach at him. I need and want to love him -- I am just not sure what that looks like at this point.

Please pray --

Hope,

Hang in there. Although it may not seem like it, believe that God knows your pain, and has a beautiful future planned for him. I'm sure he has a beautiful future planned for all who turn to him.

Lord,
Help Hope and her H rediscover the love they once felt for each other. Soften her H's heart, and allow him to hear your still small voice through the cacophony of the day. Help him to be open to Hope, and start listening to her needs and desires instead of his own.
Amen

Hope: Hello - I didn't want you to feel alone. I just found out(I exposed their A) 3 weeks ago my H and his former secretary had a physical and emotional affair for 6 months. This happened at the end of my daughter's wedding reception. He tried to turn my daughter's against me, but that failed. Now he is beginning to see the devastation he has caused our family. I moved 12 hrs. away from family and friends for him. He had plans to bring her to work for him again - very sick! I have not made my decision whether to stay or leave yet. We have our 2nd counseling session today. It has been hell so far. I have nightmares, can't eat much or sleep, cry every day and wonder if the numbness I constantly feel will ever go away. I would hope I could love him again someday, but that love was destroyed and may be lost forever. I will keep you in my prayers.

JLight,
Welcome to the Prayer Forum. I'm sorry to hear the pain you are going through. As I mentioned above, there are many men and women who are filled with God's Wisdom. I will add you to our Prayer List.

Dear Father in Heaven, we ask that You calm teh pain in JLight's heart. Fill it with the Holy Spirit and protect her. Give her patience to not make any rash decisions. Draw her husband from the fog he is in. Convict his heart and open his eyes to his sins against You and JLight. Remove him from the fog. Create a rift between him and the other woman, binding her and Stan from this marriage. We ask this of You, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Love in Christ,

I am new to this site and actually asked for prayer support yesterday, which, thank you for being there, I did receive. I am still having a very hard time at this - my thoughts are so with my husband and wanting to be a family again. This is my weekend without my boys and knowing they are together without me - spending time with OW and her children - my heart aches. I am begging for your prayers - please pray that God shines the light of His love down upon my husband and opens his eyes to what he is doing. Convict him of his sin. Give him the strength and the courage to admit to his wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness. Build a hedge of protection around this marriage and block satan and his evil doings away from our family. Let my husband see the real person behind the OW and become repulsed with every thought of her. Open his heart to his children and let their cries at night echo deep within him. Lord, please help me, help my children to demonstrate to my husband what he has is far more valuable than anything else on this earth. We are his family. We are worth the fight. God be with us all. Be with each and every person on the site - help us to find peace within our hearts and know that You are with us and will keep us safe from harm. Bring our spouses home. In Jesus most Holy name I pray. Amen
