Hello, I'm new here. I used to pray that God would soften my H's heart towards me and help him to end his A and recommit to our marriage. At this point, I just need some prayers to help me survive and rebuild my life. All the stress and pain has caused almost every aspect of my life to crumble. My marriage is basically over (I've lost hope), I have to move out of my house and I have no where to live yet, plus my job is now in jeopardy b/c I just couldn't keep it together very well through all of this (so how will I pay rent??) and I've lost almost 25 lbs and I can't sleep. (yes, I am on an anti-depressant, etc)

Please, just pray for me to have the strength to pull myself together and do the right thing - work hard, take care of myself, and be kind and loving to my H. I just want to survive this without any more devastation. Please pray for me to have the strength and the courage.

cmj,
Welcome to the Prayer Forum. I'm sorry for what is going on in your marraige, and know that God is ALWAYS in control of the situation. It's hard for us to see sometimes, and we get impatient; but, trust Him. I will add you to our weekly prayer list. Click this link Restoration of Marriages and Lives - Wed. Jan. 21st to see the latest.

"Our Father in Heaven. Look down at Your people who are crying out for restoration of their marriages. Hear our prayers we offer up to You as we strive to live Your Word in our hearts and in our actions.
Soften cmj's husband's heart and remove him from the fog of his affair. Enable him to see the destruction he is causing on cmj, and the damnation he is cousing on himself. Place a hedge of throns around them so the influences and the lies of the devil will no longer reign over him and their marriage.
We ask this by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."

Love and Peace in Christ,

CMJ,

I hope today finds things improving....

Richard


Lord,
You who has dominion over all things, help CMJ and others in similar situations. Grant them the strength to do whatever is your will, even if it is difficult for them to do so.
Amen

Also I felt it appropriate to pray the serenity prayer (I feel I need that one today....):

Lord,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The strenth to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen

Lord, please help my husband to forgive me. Please help keep our marriage together and please help heal us both. Keep us stronger. Make us stronger than before my affair. And Lord, please forgive me too.

BabydollDKM,

Get into His Word, and pray, pray, pray. In the past month ther are three M's, that from their postings, God is moving in them. Just keep on praying and get yourself right with God. Remember, His Will will Be Done.

Thanks so much for replying to me. I am new at this. And it does help to know that there is someone out there praying for me and my husband. I know God can do wonders and miracles. I need God right now more than ever. I need him to take of my marriage and my family. And to heal my husband's hurting heart. I love him so much. Through God all things are possible. And without God I can do nothing.
Thanks again. Means alot to me. I'll pray for you too.

cmj & Babydoll,

I would recommend that you go to rejoicemin.org and register yourself as a stander. Everyday Charlyne will send you an email that will inspire you and renew your devotion to your covenant marriage. Also go to loveandrespect.com and read about how respecting your mate can change everything in your marriage. Their is scripture that says a man can be won to the lord by her respect for her husband. Most women, according to Emerson, don't have a true understanding of what respect is. Especially Dzzz!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> [Ignore that statement, I'm just picking on an old friend] That's not to judge you, it's just to ask you to be open minded. It's your marriage we are all trying to save, right? There is one other called restorem.org that you might also want to check out, as well as keep communication at this sight going. There are some strong Christian people here that will pray for and with you. Plus every Wednesday their is a day of fasting and praying for marriages. I urge you to get your name on that list.

God Bless
