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.

I will be entering the prayer post on Sundays 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.

The Power of a Praying Wife

Chapter Twenty-Four – His Talk

Have you ever observed a man who is all talk and no action? There are some men that spend more time bragging about what they are going to do than actually doing it. They typically never get anywhere. “A dream comes thru much activity and a fool’s voice is known by many words” (Ecclesiastics 5:3). Dreams don’t come true when more time is spent talking about them than praying and working to achieve them.

Have you been around a man who is angry, crass, or ungodly in his speech? His bad language gives his listeners a sick uncomfortable feeling and they don’t want to be around him. “Let all bitterness, wrath, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice” (Ephesians 4:31). The good things of life seem to overlook those who have nothing good coming out of their mouths.

Have you ever known a man who complains all the time? No matter what is happening he finds something negative to grumble about. “Do all things without murmuring or disputing that you may become blameless and harmless children of God without fault in the midst of crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:14,15). Negative words bring negative results and things seldom turn out right for a person who continually uses them.

Are you acquainted with a man who is quick to speak, yet does not seriously consider what he is saying? He blurts out words without waiting the effect of them. “The heart of the righteous studies how to answer but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil” (Proverbs 15:28). “Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him” (Proverbs 29:20). Much grief is in the future of anyone who doesn’t consider the consequences of his spoken words.

Have you seen a man speaking discouragement and pain into someone – a spouse, a child, a friend, a coworker? “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eats it’s fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). That man will bring destruction into his own life because of it.

Our words can justify us or condemn us (Matthew 12:37). They can bring us joy (Proverbs 15:23), or corrupt and dishonor us (Matthew 15:11). What we say can either build up or break down the soul of whomever we are speaking to (Proverbs 15:4). The consequences of what we speak are so great that our words can lead us to ruin or save our lives (Proverbs 13:3).

Everyone has a choice about what he or she says and there are rewards for making the right one. “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue, keeping his soul from trouble” (Proverbs 21:23). Listen to the way your husband talks, what comes out of his mouth has to do with the condition of his heart. “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). If you hear him complaining, speaking negatively, talking like a fool or speaking words that bring destruction and death into his or anyone elses life, he is suffering from negative heart overflow. Pray for the Holy Spirit to convict his heart, fill it with His love, peace and joy and teach him a new way to talk.

PRAYER
Lord, I pray your Holy Spirit would guard my husband’s mouth so that he will speak only words that edify and bring life. Help him to not be a grumbler, complainer, a user of foul language or one who destroys with his words but be disciplined enough to keep his conversations godly. Your Word says a man who desires a long life must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit (Psalm 34:12-13). Show him how to do that, fill him with Your love so that out of the overflow of his heart will come words that build up and not tear down. Work that in my heart as well.

May Your Spirit of love reign in the word we speak so that we don’t miscommunicate or wound one another. Help us to show each other respect, speak words that encourage, share our feeling openly, and come to mutual agreements without strife. Lord, You’ve said in Your Word that when two agree, You are in their midst. I pray that the reverse be true as well – that You will be in our midst so that we two can agree. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight oh Lord, our strength and our Redeemer (Psalm 19:14). AMEN!

Praise report - H has been saying all along that he will not come on the MB site, thinks he knows enough about ENs that he doesn't need to learn anymore, etc. Although he listens to me talk about all of you frequently, he will not come on here to meet all of you for himself or to check out the site.

We had a breakthrough last night though. Although he's still saying MB is out, he has agreed to read The Five Love Languages together & started reading last night. He only was going to read the first page, but he ended up getting involved & read to the end of the chapter! Praise Almighty God! He is showing us a way to continue working on this M.

Thank you for all the encouragement I continue to receive. You all are a blessing in my life! I love you all!

Peace of the Lord be with you,
Y

Yet another praise report!

H continues to "make contact," about once every week.

He called to get my email addy a couple of weeks ago, so his younger son could email me pics of his brand new baby daughter.

He called yesterday and left a message on phone that his older son is getting m'd in 2 weeks.

I make sure he knows that I appreciate it when he has included me "in the loop" in his children's lives.

This after almost exactly three years of TOTALLY NO CONTACT.

Hopeful,
Please add my W and I to your list. I will join the prayer group and when my W softens her heart to God I'm sure she will too.

Thank you.

Amen!

Amen!

It's so good to read praise reports! I'm sure there will be plenty more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> God is GOOD!

Praying for all of you today! God Bless!!

H98

I have a praise report of sorts too.

Husband is expereincing consequences of his actions on several levels.

I have had an opportunity to show love and friendship to him this week.

He has admitted that he is basically prostituting himself with the OW, using her for a place to stay and to drive him around. that he doesn't even like sex with her- he agreed initially out of curiosity etc, but now he doens't know how to get out of it.

( I am thinking of having a talk with her boyfriend- they are still friends, and let him know that she is making a fool of herself in my husbands eyes- nothing like realising she is embarrassing herself to end things fast.)

The problem isn't just with her- H has many other issues before we can ever live together again.

He has been calling a bit, but I am withdrawing myself from him .

I see God at work in things this week.

And I am fine at the moment.

This is excellent! I really would like to join you as one of the prayer warriors. This is indeed encouraging. God has given me this particular verse for me to commit in my memory during these difficult times;

Mark 11:24

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

Amen!

Welcome ChangingMan and rosj! You've both been added.

ChangingMan, I pray that your W will join us in prayer soon. Hang in there.

rosj, that's an awesome verse! I have that in my signature line (just different version). Let's BELIEVE!!

Thank you Father for bringing ChangingMan and rosj to this forum. I know that the circumstances we find ourselves in are not what we wanted (or wish anyone else to be in), but we know that no matter what happens, You are always there with us. Father, we believe that You can restore our lives and our marriages. You will bring our spouses back to You. We praise Your name for the miracles You will performance in each of our lives. Thank you Father for your unconditional love and for forgiving us of all our sins. We love You Lord! In your precious name I pray. Amen.

Dearest Hopeful,

Please pray that I will continue to honour my committment to the LORD (i.e. no Lbing, no fear and no cry) even though it brings pain (temporary) at this moment.

Just called my WH only to realise he is out now with OW after visiting us. I didn't confront or breathe a word. AMEN! I know GOD is on my side and I must keep honouring HIM.

God Bless you all!
