Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for waking me up early this morning and allowing me to have time to meditate on Your word. You are awesome and I know that You are fighting for me. I know the enemy knows this and that is why he continues to attack my body. I pray that when I go to the doctor today that You allow her to find what is wrong with me and why I am having this bodily reaction. I pray that You protect my husband as he works today. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Dear Father,
I need you! I need strength! Lord, PLEASE give me a sign and show me what is right and what is wrong. I am being deceived Lord, and falling for it. PLEASE help me! I don't want to ruin your work of bringing my H home. Please! Help me remove the enemy from my life, so that I may praise Your name forever!! He's tempting me Father, and I don't have enough strength to resist. I can't do this without You. Help me Lord! I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that you protect H98 today as she faces temptation for we know that satan always sends his best first. Show hopeful the true way and Your way for her life. She knows this is not what You want. It is easy to follow the way of the world, but hard to follow You. I pray that she chooses to continue to follow the narrow path that leads to You. I pray that You continue to protect her from her temptations. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for the strength you've given me today. Help H find his way through this mess back to You and Your will. Help him realize Your plan for his life and remaining true to his marriage vows which were made in Your presence and with Your blessing. I know You are working with us and through us and I have faith that You will see us through this rough time.
Also, I pray for OW to recognize the temptation of satan in the affair and to realize the pain and stress she is putting on WH. Give her courage to end the affair and allow WH to repair our marriage.
All glory and power be to You......Amen

Lord, I'm feeling very low right now. I've been remembering the past and it hurts tremendously. Remembering when I saw my H and the OW and how loving they seemed with each other. I don't want to ask this Lord, but WHY? Why can't the pain just go away? Why can't my H come back already? Why? <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> I don't understand too well Father. Please give me strength not to give up. I love my H and You know that Lord. I want him to give his life to You. I want the best for him. I want to grow old at his side. I want to have his children. I want "US" to be happy together again. Give me patience Father.

Be with each hurting person on this board. Give them peace Lord. Remind each and every one of them today, that you are ALWAYS there for them. Give them strength to live this day and every day after. Thank you Father. In the name of Jesus, I pray. AMEN!

H98

Father,

Forgive me for not trusting you, for looking at circumstaces instead of looking at what you have promised.

I pray that today you will deal with my husbands heart.

That you will confound any plans of the enemy.

The ow will not go to see him, he will repent of going there, and leave asap.

Her words will hurt him and he will have no attraction to her.

She will find out what he is really like, the kind of things he did to me over the years.

He will see hwat a mess he has made of things . Give him a love for me and his daughter, and a desire to be with us and be a family.

Give him a vision of how this can work out and that he will be better off with us.

He will remember all the good things in his life with us, and be dawn to us.

He will know that he has to stop doing what he has been doing with her, and stop hiding from us.

He will not like the way he has been acting, he will see himself clearly.

He will want to have peace with you, and success, and know that the only way is your way, that his way is not working.

He will have a dream warning him to repent.

I speak these things in Jesus name.

Thank you Father for what you are going to do.

Dear Heavenly father,

Praise Your Holy Name. You alone have the power to help our situations and heal our broken hearts and minds. Be with everyone who needs Your loving care.

I ask that You be with H as he tells OW that the A is over.

Give him the courage to do what he knows he must do but yet in his heart is hesitant to do.

Let him find the words that will get the message through to her but will not hurt her. Even though she is my enemy at this time, I wish her well and happiness with someone else.

Please give H the strength and courage to get through the withdrawal period.

Give me the strength, wisdom, and courage to continue as I have been supporting H when he is feeling hurt and alone and to meet his needs as he needs them met at any given time.

Help both of us have the strength and courage to work harder than we have ever worked before to repair our broken relationship.

Please give our children the courage and wisdom to support us as we travel this difficult road together.

I know You will be there to guide, direct, and support us in doing what you want us to do.

In Jesus's name and for His sake I humbly ask for Your loving guidance.

Praise be to God........Amen

Father,

Thank you for all you are doing in all of our lives today.

Help us to remember that even when we can't see it, you are at work in our spouses hearts and circumstances.

Thank you for being with Roughroad last night. I pray that her husband would be thinking of how she looked and hwo she made him feel, and that he would feel desire for her. I pray that he would be thinking of her all day today, and that he would not have feelings for the ow anymore.

I pray in agreement with andi, adn thank you for hwat you are doing in her life.

Thank you for what you are doin gright now in my husbands heart and mind and circumstances. Father, thankyou for reminding me to bear with him, and to forgive him as you have forgiven me.
I pray for insight today, to understand how I can make him feel good when he is here, so that he won't want to see the ow.

Father, I also pray that you will help all of us to be guided by you in everything. You are the one who knows our husbands and wives hearts, and let us look to you for guidance first and last and know when the advice given on these boards is not according to your will.

Let us be guided by your Spirit in all things today.

FAther, in your word today, I kept reading that 'suddenly' they will hit rock bottom. I pray this for my husband. That he will have a 'sudden' revelation of his condition and what he needs to do .

May the light overcome the darkness in his mind ,
In Jesus name I ask these things.

Thank you for what you are going to do today, Father, and for speaaking to my heart.

Thankyou also for the believers who have given me encouragement to keep going, to keep loving, and not to give up.

Dear Lord, thank you for all you have given me and all you have not. thank you for all the people that have prayed for us and especially that prayed for us yesterday. please bless them as much as you have blessed me and allow them to feel your comforting hand and know that your perfect plan for your children will be done if only we serve you and seek your wisdom.

Lord, i ask these things as one of your children who has needs that you are all too aware of. you now my heart Lord and that you have said that if we pray w/out ceasing and let our request be known to you that you will hear and answer our prayers if we lean on you and do your will. thank you for allowing my H to have a safe trip here and back to florida and that he brought my dogs to me even though he didn't have to and that he stayed and talked to me for a lot longer then i had expected.

Lord, i pray that time you allowed us to have last night will be one that would be used to honor and glorify you and one that will help my H start to see things through your eyes and turn his life over to you. that you would give him the strength and faith he needs to trust in you and be the husband you would have him be. Lord help him to know that it is safe to return to our M, that it can be better then it was and that he can fall in love w/me again. that you speak directly to his heart Lord as only you can and that you would touch his heart and soften it to me that he would be willing to work on our M.

Please give him the wisdom to see that the R w/the OW cannot go forward, that it doesn't have a future and that he would be convicted to end the A. please provide him the strength to let the OW go. Lord you have given him so many gifts and special talents that i know he could be such a wonderful servant to you if he was able to see things through your eyes.

Lord, please forgive this OW, i have no malice towards her or want anything to happen to her. i am jealous Lord and please forgive me of that. but Lord help her to realize that my H is not a free man and that he is not hers. help convict her to end their R and that she would find someone else. please Lord help her to lose interest and walk away. Please Lord guide her hand and help her to have the strength needed to let go of my H so that we can truly have a chance to rebuild our M.

I know you want the best for your children Lord and that if given the opportunity me and H could be the H and W that you would have us be and that we could rebuild a M that is pleasing to you. you have been so wonderful to me Lord and have provided for me like you said you would. you have changed my heart so much Lord that it is truly a miracle and i want to share that w/my H. i do want my M to be mended Lord but i also want your will to be done. I know you know my heart and i pray that you would give me the strength, patience, resolve, and wisdom to do your will in every aspect of my life but espeically through this trial that i am going through. this has brought me back to you Lord and i KNOW that is what you want and i am glad for that and i know that everything happens for a reason Lord.

Please help H to view last night as a good expereince and work on him like only you have the power to do. that he would have second thoughts about what he is doing. please protect him from himself, that even though he is giving into many temptations and his flesh Lord that you would still protect him and comfort him as only you can. please envelope him w/your love and your will and give him the faith he needs.

Lord, please accept this as an effectual fervent prayer that will availeth much because only you have the power to work a miracle in my H's heart and our M. thank you again for all your many blessings and help me to do your will. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Father,

Bless roughroad and hear her prayer.

I pray for my husband, that he would begin to see himself through your eyes, how much you love him.

Thank you for giving me peace tonight, Lord.

And I ask you to tell me how to proceed. I pray that your will be done especially tomorrow if he comes to see us.

Let me have a quiet and gentle spirit and give me the words to say to him, to bless and encourage him.

I pray that things will be peacful between him and our daughter also.

I ask you to surround this place with your protection, that while he is with us nothing will disturb the peace. That everything will be according to you will.

Thank you Father. I don't know how you did it, but I feel very peaceful compared to earlier, and I am not afraid or dismayed. Thankyou fo helping me.

Please, Lord, sometimes I feel hopeless. Loneliness seems to follow me throughout my day and I fear over finances, even though You command me to have faith in You. Unlike some others here, my marriage is done and has been so for 2 years. I have been alone and lonely for a long time and it hurts. The fear of not having enough work eats at me. Please take this Cross from me and please take the Crosses from your other Faithful on this thread and on these boards.
Please help Shul and Lunadove and all others here.

I thank you in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praise to You. You are great in all things. Forgive me for not trusting You to help me on Your timetable, not mine. Forgive me for being impatient and demanding. I know that all I need to ever do is trust in Your loving care.

Thank you for answering my prayers and helping H see through the FOG. Thank you for giving him the strength and courage to break it off with OW. Praise be to God.

Please give us the wisdom, knowledge, strength and courage to get through the next few weeks and months as we rebuild our relationship. Give me the strength to continue to follow my plan without getting angry. Give him the strength to stay away from OW for good.

Praise God for all His goodness and mercy. Thanks be to You. In Jesus's name I pray.....
Amen

Father,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show love to my husband and to meet some of his needs this weekend.

Whatever You are doing is working, Father!

I pray today that you will bless him, give him a desire to be clean, and remind him that you sent your Son so that he can start over with a clean slate.

I also pray that you will let him see hope for a successful future , that you want to bless him, that your plans for him are for good.

Please let him recall how right and peaceful he felt when he was with me, with us, where he belongs.

I aslo pray that he will see the vulnerable position he has put me in , and that he will feel strongly protective and possessive of me today and always.


Any lies or discouragement that have deceived him will flee from his mind. He will recall the promises that God has made concerning our needs.

He will understand that he has been getting in the way of his own happiness, but that he can turn around right now and receive blessings.

Father, thank you for today and all you are doing. Thankyou for the bond you have made between us as husband and wife.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that You help me to focus on You and only You. Not hearing from my husband hurts, but I feel as if I have given up on him. I am going through this life without him and don't even know where he would fit in if he did come back to us. I know circumstances are working against us with him still in the military. Lord, help me to continue to focus on You and only You. I am tired and weary. I keep putting You in the background instead of putting You first. Give me the strength to continue on this journey. I pray Your will for me and my husband.

In Jesus name I pray,
Lunadove

Heavenly Father,

You have taken care of me all these months that my husband has been gone. You have provided for our every need. You have kept me healthy and strong, and given me work to do.

I am so amazed at the way you worked things out. I know that you knew what would happen and you had already prepared for it.

I can also see your hand at work in my husbands life. Father, I don't know for sure what happened, but I sense that there is a big rift between him and the OW, just as I prayed there would be.

I know there is another woman too, and I pray that you would break that off in some way.

Father, now he is coming around and I am glad to have a chance to show him love. But I am seeing him differently. I don't like what I am seeing.

I pray that you will heal him and bring him to repentance.

Let me be a light to him, and bring out the best in him.

Father,

My husband is coming here today. Please be with me, and help me to have the words and actions to show him love and encouragement.

I pray a hedge of protection over this place while he is here.

Father, I understand that there are things in his life that he needs to sort out with you, and I pray that you will continue to work in his mind and heart, as you have been doing.

That he will have a desire to be a family again, and realise that it will only succeed if he is following your way.

I command any wrong patterns of thinking, deception, false teaching, to flee from him ; that the light of truth will penetrate his mind today.

In Jesus' name I speak these things.

I also pray for those in this place who don't know you that they will be drawn to you through these circumstances and that they will know your love and power in their lives.

I pray for all those who are seeking your wisdom and guidance for their situations today that they will hear your voice telling them the direction to take.

Shul
