I could do with some prayer backup today.

I haven't heard from my husband for a few days, and it is distressing me.

He called earlier in the week and said he would try to visit if he gets time off later in the week.

On the face of it, there has been some good progress, he has been calling more often, coming around , but there is a chance that he might be seeing someone else when he is in the city working. He doesn't have a place to stay right now, he moved from where he was living a few weeks ago when he was going out of town to work. I am worried that he might be staying with a woman.

I have been praying for him to find somewhere else to stay. I am also praying for guidance about moving there to make a home together.

Thanks,

Shul

I'm praying for you Shul. (loved your prayer for LunaDove) It touched my heart deeply and am sure will touch hers as well. Thanks!

Welcome to the PR forum. Glad to have you here (not for the circumstance you're in but because we are all seeking the One who can help us). Would you like to join us as a Prayer Warrior? See our weekly post RESSURECTION.

Thank you Hopeful, for praying, and for your invitation . I will consider it a privilege to pray with all of you.

I know that the needs are great here, but greater yet is the power of God, as evidenced in this request that was answered just a few minutes ago, when my husband called, and when I asked, assured me that he is not living with anyone. He is staying at the shop, and there is no phone there, but he has said he is getting a cell on the weekend, so that we can stay in touch. We are even meeting for coffee tomorrow evening!

This was more than I had hoped for or asked. I feel very relieved and thankful just now.

I will introduce myself a bit more on the other thread.

Thanks you again, Hopeful.

Shul,

You are most certainly in my prayers. My husband left just over 6 1/2 weeks ago. I know your pain and confusion. God will listen to our prayers. I hope the outcome is all you wish it to be.


Blessings,

Lauri

As you are in mine.

Take heart, God is with you, and at work even now, drawing your husband to himself.

His steadfast Love in us is irresistable!

Father,

I ask you to give my husband wisdom and direction tonight concerning where he should stay, and concerning transportation.

Let him know the right thing to do, and to consider the consequences of his actions.

Father, there are things I think I should say to him about our relationship, but I am not sure if this is the time. Help me to know when to speak, what to say, and when to be quiet and let You deal with things. Give me wisdom in this, Father.

Watch over him tonight, and let him sense your love for him. Let him see you in me, and let me see him with your eyes and understand him with your understanding, and love him with your love.

Be with all those who are here tonight, hurting, confused. Help them to know your will for them, and give them all unconditional love for their spouses.

Hi Shul,

Will be praying for you and your H, and all of us here tonight.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, creator and blessor of marriage. These two have been united in Your name, and You have joined them together. Please give Shul's H Your wisdom to know what he needs to do, and courage to do what he needs to do. Please give Shul YOUR wisdom and timing about what to say. And please remind them both the give thanks to You in EVERYTHING. Thank You for hearing our prayer and answering with Your will.

Thank you Ruffled and Faithful.

It has been a bad weekend, and I am having trouble even knowing how to pray .

My husband has been living on the fence spiritually for a long time. He has serious trust issues, from childhood abuse and rejection, and it seems like he can't risk trusting God. I have prayed for along time that he would experience consequences, like the prodigal son, that he would know that his lifestyle and poor choices result in misery, but he is still doing things that are bad for him. He knows better, but he doens't obey God because he doesn't trust him.

I am at a point where our marriage is second place- all I want for him is to see him healed and to have peace with God. I am so desperately afraid for his eternal security . I spent nost of the weekend praying and weeping for him. I can't bear to see him making wrong choices and knowing that it is destroying him, his chance for a happy fulfilled life. He has so much potential, but he is missing out.

He is still friends with the other woman, and because he has no car and lives in the city, an hour away from me, he depends on her for rides and such.

I have just come from seeing him. I told him that if we are to be together we should live together and that I am willing to quit my job and find work in the city. He didn't say much one way or the other. He was in a hurry to leave. He said he was coming out for sure this past weekend and didin't show up or bother to phone, so when he called this morning I was a bit put out, understandably. He seems to feel that was an LB, so maybe thats why he was not very forthcoming.

I should say, that I am not willing to live with him until he agrees to stop seeing her and to stop hiding things and being secretive, (I haven't said this to him)>

I have been trying to plan A, and doing very well. I am also doing a 180, partly, not calling him, pleading or asking about his wherabouts, not talking about the future( until today), not rejecting him, but not pursuing him either.


He is on a major self pity trip because he has no license, and his main priority is trying to get a car running so he can drive illegally. He hated having to rely on me for rides, (but he doesn't seem to mind the ow driving him around).

Anyway, I am thinking that I should stop calling him altogether for the next few months, that I should start looking for a job in the city, and a place, and just cut off contact.

I need to start taking care of my daughter, concentrating on her and leave him with God for a while, I think.

I don't know what to do, and I need to hear from God. I need some clear direction. I feel like we are at a bit of a crossroads. Maybe he is coming around, and I should just carry on as I have been doing. I don't want to push him away, but I think sometimes he needs a wakeup call...

Thoughts?

Shul

Father,

Thank you for what you are doing in my situation. I know that you love my husband and want him to be healed even more than I do.

I know that you are able to reach the hardest hearts. I pray tonight that you will cause him to think about what I offered and realise how much I love him. Let him understand that I am not a threat to him, that I am not rejecting him, but that I really love him, and want him to know that he is loved.

Father, I know that he apologised this morning for not calling or coming out. I tried to tell him that I don't want him to feel guilty- that I am just sorry we couldn't be together. Help him to understand this.

Father, I know he is feeling selfpity about not being able to drive. I come against this spirit of self pity and rebellion. I ask you Father to warn him about doing wrong in this, that he will think about the possible consequences to himself and to us, such as losing his job, going to jail, fines, losing the vehicle etc., and that he will determine not to risk it, but be content to ride bike or walk. Let him think tonight about the
terrible consequences that we all have suffered in the past because of his reckless and stubborn rebellion in this.

Let him come to the end of himself and turn to you for help, Father. Let him be brought to repentance of the relationship with the O/W also, and any other sin in his life. Let him see where his own actions have brought him to, and not put the blame on others, where it is his own fault.

Thank you Father. I ask these things in the name of your Son Jesus, and for his sake.

Dear Shul,
I am praying for you, and in agreement with you for your husband. God will hear our prayers, and He will intervene. May He pour out his blessings on you,

AW

I am having a bad night.

It is very upsetting to me when he doesn't call. I think he knows that and he does this deliberatly. It is like adeliverate rejection.

In the past he wouldn't call when he was up to no good. I have a bad feeling tonight.

I hate this game, and esp. hwat it says about his care for our daughter. I have askee him repeatedly to call, even if it is just to say hi to her.

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in this situation. I ask that you would bring about circumstances to deal with this behaviour of my husand, that he will repent of his coldness toward us, esp to our daughter. Give him a love for us, and break any feelings that he might have with any other woman. Put a hedge of thorns in his path that he will noto be able to contact teh woman. Let there be a wide gulf between them. Let him be convicted of his behavior, adn let him come to the end of himself so that he will begin to trust in you and obey you. Break down any wall of mistrust that may be hindeing him , any fear that might be preventing him from trusting you. Heal him of the hurts of the past. give him a vision of a future at peace with you adn livng in accordance with your will. show him that you have answered his prayers. REmove the blinders from his eyes that the enemy has put there.

Tonight FAther, let him remember your word, and let it bring him to repentance adn trust.

Put it on his heart to call me, and help me to listen and respond to him with love and gentlness. I forgive him as you have forgiven me.

Thank you Father, for all that you are going to do in his life, all that you are doing right now.
