I'm in desperate need of some prayers. My H came clean to me about an A he was having with my sister about a month ago. My sister didn't deny anything and we were doing good in recovery. Now, my mom found out about the A and my sister is denying the whole thing. She is saying my H is making everything up. She said she didn't say anything at first because nobody would believe her. How can I find out who's telling the truth. I know the truth will prevail, but right now in the meantime it is eating me up inside. Please pray for the truth to come out quickly for my family. Thank you! I pray for each and everyone of you as well. Lord knows, we all need it.

Sorry ICG, that I didn't get to this earlier.

Father,

I pray for ICG. She has had a crushing blow Lord God. I ask that you would begin to work in this situation in a mighty way.

I pray that somehow you would put a wall around her and her husband separating them from the interference of family members for a time.
Let them work this out together, and arrange for them to have physical space and distance away from the sister .


Do a work of conviction also in the sisters life, that she will repent and know your forgiveness.

Thank you fo what you are doing Lord God, and what you are going to do. Thank you that nothing is too hard for you.

Help them to put themselves in one anothers shoes and let love rule in their hearts.

I ask these things in the name of your Son Jesus, and for His sake.

lcg,

Just wanted to let you know that I had a similar experience in my in-law's family & they have been healing from it for the past 8 years. There is a lot of anger, hurt, and resentment on all parties involved, but the thing is, they didn't ask God to lead them through that valley. And the one that finally did ask God for forgiveness & was convicted of his sins, is the one who is able to be the Christian man he was called to be.

You are not alone, God is there with you, holding your hand, whispering to your heart, trying to advise you of the steps you should take. I pray that the truth be revealed somehow. God will reveal it in His time, when He feels it is best for all parties involved.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> we were doing good in recovery </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">And you still can. God has already started to heal both your hearts. I pray that when the truth is revealed, that God puts a forgiving spirit inside you & helps you & your sister begin the road to healing as well.

I'll be praying for you.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I can already feel them working. H and I are doing very good in recovery and each day just gets better and better. I have decided I want to totally forgive my H the way God would and I look at the past no longer. We are new people, falling in love all over again.

Please pray for my sister. She is still denying the A and has said some mean, nasty things about my H. Because of this I cannot forgive her. I know I should, but I just can't at this moment.

Please pray for me, that this hate I have for her will fade. I want to love, but I'm finding it very hard to love someone so evil. I don't want her to be evil, I'm hoping she is just sick.

Thank you again for all your prayers!
