I thought we might have one thread where we can all post our prayers- to pray along with one another in agreement as each of you feel led.

Father,

Thank you for loving each one of us, for your mercy, and forgiveness, and for reconciling us to yourself through the gift of your Son.

Thank you for each request and for all that you are going to do in our lives.

Shul

Thank you father for bringing my h to church this weekend. He was there last night, this morning and this afternoon. Praise the LORD!!!! Thank you Father for giving me the courage to smile and say hello to him as I walked past him. Thank you Lord that he responded with a smile and a nod. Thank you that your Holy Spirit is constantly tugging at his heart to bring him back to You!!! I know it will happen in Your perfect timing. Please keep giving me the strength I need and to keep loving him unconditionally, just like You love me. You are so good to me Father. Thank You!

AMEN!

Father, I thank you for these two believers who have posted their prayers and ask you Lord to continue to work in their lives, their hearts and those hearts of their mates. Father, I ask for your healing of my brokenheart as you promise in your word. I ask Father for you to continue to guide my counselor in areas where I need help and need to grow. Lord, I continue to ask for your gentle hand in hubbies life. Lord, I know your will is for him to be free of his sexual addiction and for us to be a family that can give glory to your name through our testimony. Father, I know you love me...I know you sent your only son to die for me...Lord, let that be real in my heart and not just my head. Father, I thank you that you've been with me every step of this journey and that you have promised not to leave me nor forsake me. Lord, I know when I'm scared, angry, sad, feeling betrayed and rejected that you have not done those things to me Lord but you are right there with me. Father, I thank you and praise you for you are worthy of all the praise.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen

Father,

Thank you that my husband has hit rock bottom and that he is coming to his senses.

If there is anything I can do to speed up this process, please show me.

I pray that he will have the courage and integrity to burn his bridges with the other woman today.

Please also help me with my job today Father.

Thank you, Father for speaking to me, and changing ME into a person formed in your image.

Thank you, Father, for the time spent w/my H yesterday. May this be used to give YOU Glory.

Thank you, Father, that my H is "open" to your leading, and seeking. Let him know Your Way, and show him Your Path.

Thank you FATHER, for ALL your good Gifts to us!

Hallelujah.
Amen and Amen

Father, I ask you to forgive me for not trusting you, for the thoughts that I have been entertaining.

Thankyou for the work you are doing in my husbands mind today. Thank you that he has moved out of the ow's place.

I pray that you will let this be a finalk break between them, that there will be no more contact, and I ask you to put someone else in her life.

Thank you for bringing him to his senses. Give him a love for us, and esp. for his daughter.

Bless him in this new job, and please arrange it so that he can come here often to see us.

I ask that you will also do a work in the lives and hearts of the people he is working for , and that they will not lead him astray.


Father, please find him a good place to live in the new town, where he will not get into trouble. Keep the prostitutes away from him.

Father, if he comes here tonight, let it be a time of building our relationship. I forgive him for all that has gone on before. Cleanse my heart of bitterness, and let him be attracted to me in body and mind.Let my words be those that will build him up, and encourage him.

Put a hedge around this place so that we will have the time we need to connect.

Let love rule in our hearts tonight.

Father,

I ask that you would let him see that he needs to burn his bridges with the ow right now, that it is time.

Give him the right words to end it, and the courage to walk away no matter what she says.

Cause a permanent divide between them.

I ask this in Jesus name.

Thank you Lord.

Father,

Thank you that right now Kirsten is having a change of heart, and she is willing to give James another chance.

As soon as she sees him let her heart be broken, let her be convicted.

Please fix it so that she can drop this whole thing easily, with a word. Stop anyone from hindering your will in this.

Abba,

I was just thinking that maybe we could be praying for the other woman/other man .

You love them too, and you want to bless them and change their hearts.

I pray for the o/w in our situation.I know she is lonely, her husband died and she has needs, same as I do.

I forgive her for what she has done.

Father, I pray that you will convict her of sin. That she will know that what she did was wrong, and that you have a better plan for her.

I pray that you will find her a man- a husband to love her, and to love her kids and be a fahter for them.

I pray that she will realise that she was not setting a good example for her kids, that she is being a hypocrite, and that she would also be convicted of the harm this whole thing has caused to our daughter, who hasn't seen much of her dad in the past two years.

I ask that she would be convicted of th elies she has told, the disceit. I know she hates her kids to lie, but show her that she is doing the every same thing. She tells her lids not to cheat, but she is cheating. she tells her kids not to steal but she took what did not belong to her.

Let her see that she is better off without him in her life. That he was using her.

I pray that the man she meets will be nice looking, kind, have money to help her, and a person who is kind to kids. That he will not be attached or married, that he will be free to marry her.

Maybe the person for her is her x boyfriend?

I pray concerning him that he will start to treat her better, that he will give in a bit, meet her halfway, start meeting her needs.

I pray for them both that they will repent of their selfish ways, forgive each other, and begin to follow Jesus.

In His name I ask these things.

Thank you.

Dear Lord,
first please forgive me for wherever I have failed you, whether it be in words, thoughts or actions and if i have failed anyone else. please forgive me for any doubts that I have in your plan for me and for any weaknesses I have in my flesh. Lord, thank you so much for everything you have given me and everything you have not. especially for your forgiveness and for my salvation. Lord, please help me to do your will in all areas of my life, please help me to do, say, and think the things you would have me to and not be an offense to anyone. please give me the strength, patience, discernment, and endurance to get through while you reveal your plan for my life. help me to help others.

please be w/my husband's family in convicting them to come to you and serve you as you would have them to, to convict them in helping my H end his A, and that they would also be supportive of me in what I am trying to do in order to rebuild our M.

Lord, please be w/my dear husband in touching his heart the way only you can. please convict him to end his A and turn his life over to you and that his heart be softened to me that he would want to work on our M. that our M be rebuilt in a way that is pleasing to you. please be w/the OW Lord and convict her of what she is doing, please help her to understand that their R has no future and that it needs to end. help convict her to turn her life over to you and that she will lose interest and walk away. Lord, please let her let go of my H so that we can truly work together on our M.

most importantly Lord, please help those who are unsaved to be lead to you in some way and that they would be convicted, repent, and accept you as their savior. please help me to have the opportunities to witness to others, help me to recognize those as opportunities, and that you will put the words in my mouth that I need to say in order to help win those souls for you. help show me where you would have me serve you Lord and that others in my church would reach out to me Lord and show me also where I can serve.

Lord, please let me have the opportunity to be the wife that I know you want me to be, to be the wife that my husband needs me to be, and to be the wife that I know I can be now thanks to the miracle you have done in my heart and life.

I also ask that you would give me safe travel to FL and back today and over the next several days and that even though my H seems like he will only be "giving" me 5 hours of his time while i'm there, please forgive me of any bitterness i have over that and that in that very short time frame Lord that I would be able to show him the changes that have been made and lift him up and encourage him and be the testimony I need to be and that during the short time his heart will be receptive and softened.

thank you again Lord for every thing you have done for me and watch over me the rest of this week. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Yes.

Father, thank you for Roughroads patient trust in You , and for the work you have done in her, and for the way you are answering her prayer right now, everything you are doing in her situation.

Father, let her husband be overcome with love and desire when he sees her.

Thank you for what is going to happen!

I pray the same thing for myself and my husband, and that when he comes tonight he will be so overwhelmed with love and desire that he will decide right then to do the right thing.

Father, give him insight today how over the past years , his obsession with driving, getting a car has been fruitless, a waste of time and energy, and has caused him to risk losing everything but that if he will give up doing it his way and ask you, you will make a way.

That you want to bless him, that your way is a way of success and peace , and good things. taht his way has resulted in disappointment frustration and all his efforts have been for nothing and have hurt him .

Thank you Father for what you are going to do today!

Amen

Father,

You know he is coming here tonight.

I don't know if he has broken it off with her yet, and I am stressed about it.

I want to ask him , but maybe its not a good idea.

Just please be with me Father, and help me be calm and serene and loving.

Thank you for whatever it is you are doing today. I am trusting you to do your part and I am trying to do mine.

Please put a hedge of protection around this place and let there be peace here.

Your will be done.

I pray dear Heavenly Father that you allow Shul to get the answers to the questions that are in her heart. I pray she is a quiet and gentle spirit to her husband and allows her husband to do all the talking. I pray that she wins over her husband without speaking a word. I pray that Your will be done for this marriage.

Precious Lord, be with all those who have prayed and shared their prayers on this thread -- and with all those who are praying for them -- and let Your holy and perfect will be done for each of us. Above all, help us to put You first, not counting the cost, not limiting you with our small perspectives but allowing you to work completly in our own lives. Be with all the children who suffer, and bring them your peace and joy. Be with all the hurting wives and husbands who are bringing hurt on those they love; be with the OW and OM who are participating in that hurt; convict them, convict us, lead us, guide and restore us, and all for the sake of Your precious Son Jesus Christ, who suffered as we cannot imagine to bring us peace beyond understanding. In His Name, Amen.

Father,

Thank you for getting me through this day.

I need your constant guidance and insight to know how to deal with my husband, Father.

I am so worried about him, his spiritual condition, but but he doesn't want to hear about it right now.
Help me to back off and let you deal with him in that area, and let me just be loving to him. Show me how to do that.

I am leaving all that in your hands, except to pray for him. If you want me to say something, let it be natural, let him bring it up, make an opening, and give me the words to say.

I pray for him tonight that you will gently speak to his heart about the things that he has made idols of, and also that you will break crsuh and destroy any bond or contact with the OW.
Let it be like in Hosea, that there is a hedge of thorns blocking their path, and that he will not be able to find her.

Thank you Father that he is starting to come to his senses, and see what he has done. Give him hope for a new start with us, adn with you especiallly.

Convict him, and show him that his way is not working, but that you can turn thigns around, and he can have a good life.

Dear Lord help me and all of my friends here to have the strength of Moses and when our arms are tired from lifting them up to you, let us surround each other and hold each other up. I pray in the name of your Son who you sent to us, to give up his very life for us, spilled his earthly blood for us to be forgiven our sins. Please Jesus accept my repentence for everything I have done to lead my family and I into this situation. Lord touch my husband with your pure love and Light, remind him of the vows he took with me, and the covenant he made with You, to honor his wife, be honored by his wife and create a family under your law. Everyday Jesus, remind my husband of the years of memories and joys and how we held each other up during sorrow and hardship for so many years. Convict him. Wrap a hedge of thorns around any sin that might further touch my husband. Jesus please lead the ow to her own sin free path, give her the heart to restore her own family and let us restore ours. I BELIEVE you gave my husband and I to each other and I BELIEVE you also pray for our restitution and our new life , lived in your spirit more fully than ever before as we learn these hard lessons and come closer to You. Lord I pray for my sons, they know not how to wait like you have taught me so well. help me to instill Your gifts to them and guard their hearts against anger and pain. Humble us all to your will, accept the burdens we lay on your altar and bring us the Peace that passeth understanding. Restore to us the fruits of the Spirit as we struggle against the flesh and strive to walk in your Spirit. Remind us to guard our tongues and stand beside us as we work through these hard times. Guard us from behind. lead us from the front- watch over us from above. Let us earn our hearts desire according to your will and bless our every step. in Jesus name I submit this prayer. alleluia amen.

Amen.

Father, I lift up everyone on these boards today who is hurting. Let their love be stronger than their fear of rejection. Let us all find our strength, our security, our acceptance in You.

Meet our needs today so that we can love freely, without fear.

Show us what we need to do differently. Speak to us by your Spirit, help us to put ourselves in our spouses shoes, show us where we have lovebusted, and forgive us, as we forgive our spouses.

I lift up my husband. Thank you for the work you are doing in his heart, that your love is softening him, and healing him.

Father,

Thank you that my husband phoned tonight. I know that he is coming to his senses finally. He is realising that he is alone, and getting scared that he might have gone too far.

But like the prodigal son he also knows that he was better off with you. That his way is not working.

Father, I know that you are watching for him. Let him feel your love and concern, your grace and forgiveness in a special way.

Remind him of what Jesus said about how the father was so happy that he had a party to celebrate the return of his son.

Let my husband know that no matter what he has done or how far he has gone that you still love him, and that you want to make all things new.

That he has only to ask and you can restore the years that the locusts have taken, and he can have a new life, a new start.

Thank you Father, that you never give up on us.

We know that the darkness can't overcome the light, and my husband has heard your word , he knows the truth. Help him now to feel it in his heart, and be healed.

Thank you Father, for what you are doing right at this moment.

Lord, as often happens, i don't have the words to say, but you know my heart. i know that my needs are not any less or more than others Lord and I do pray that everyone here seeks first your guidance and that you will give them strength, patience and discernment for what you would have them do in their lives and especially in their marriages. Lord please be w/those who are so faithfully coming here and coming to you Lord, these are you children and they are hurting. Please lift them up and and answer the prayers according to your perfect will.

Lord, please be w/my dear sweet H who is so lost on many different counts. Lord i don't know if when he came forward several years ago that he was truly saved, only you and he knows that but Lord regardless, he is not doing your will. Lord you are helping me to do your will and please please just surround him in your love and touch and turn his heart the only way that you can Lord. Please forgive him and please convict him to end his A. Lord, i know you know that the recent news that i have received that he will be going on a trip w/the OW to meet some of his family next week and how much that hurts me and makes me sad. Lord, i plead w/you that you will give me the words to say each time i talk w/my H that it would be what you would have me to say. that he would be able to see things through your eyes and turn his life to you.

i know Lord that you are working in his life, i know this because he is reading "the case for creation" and that can only lead to other truths about you. Lord, i know that he will be taking a class in the fall in school that is on new testament studies and even though this is probably a secular class and i'm not sure who will be teaching this and how that somehow and in someway Lord that he may come to serve and obey you Lord.

i really felt you were w/me Lord this past weekend when i saw and spoke w/him Lord but i'm afraid this morning when i talked w/my H that i let you down and that maybe i said some things that maybe you thought i shouldn't. Lord the thoughts came into my head and as i prayed i thought maybe it was what you would have me say but i'm unsure if maybe it was satan trying to cause me to not lift my H up. although i don't necessarily think what was said was bad, Lord satan likes to have his way and i'm afraid i could have something diferrently or better and i didn't.

but i know God that you are more powerful then satan and that you will WILL be done. please just guide my words and actions and help me not to feel so sorry for myself and that others are praying for me and you are providing for me as you said you would. Lord, i humbly ask for you to forgive me if i have said, thought, or did anything that was displeasing to you today or if i have caused offense to anyone. please for give me for any bitterness, resentment, or irrationality that i have and for any doubts that have in what your plan is for me.

Again Lord please be w/my H Lord please help turn his heart and life to you and that his heart will be softened to me again Lord and that we can rebuild a M that's pleasing to you. Lord please be w/this OW and convict her as well and help her to see things through your eyes because if she were to follow you then she would see that she needs to end the A and that their R has no future. Lord please help her to let go of my H and walk away Lord, please help her to find someone else that would be pleasing to you. please help her to lose interest and loose her grips on my H so that we can truly have a chance to work on our M.

Lord please help me to have the opportunity to be the W that you would have me be, to be the W that my needs, and to be the W that i know that i can be thanks to what you have changed into my heart. please Lord accept this as a fervent prayer on behalf of me and my H and that if needed that I can interceed for my H and ask that your will be done in his life. Lord, only you have the power to make these happen and in you only i place my trust and prayer Lord. please continue to be w/me and help me to be who you would have me be in all areas of my life but especially my M right now.

thank you again Lord for everything you have done and haven't done in my life Lord and i pray w/confidence that my M will be restored. in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

asking you guys to pray specifically for me as I pray to God.

Dear Lord, I know that H will be going on a trip monday w/OW to meet some of his family. Lord this hurts, i know you know that. But i pray that you use this opportunity to help some of the fog lift or that H will be able to peak through some of the fog and see things through your eyes. please touch and turn H's heart as only you can because only you have the power. Lord, please convict H's family to not support him in his behvior but to support him in ending the A. I pray that you would protect H from life-long consequences and build a wall around him and keep him from temptation and from his vulnerabilities. that maybe during this time which also happens to be his b-day next week that he might think of me and his heart will be softened.

Lord, please also be w/this OW in convicting her to end the A. Lord help her to realize during this time that their R cannot go forward and does not have a future. please help her to do your will in her life and in that process she may also lose interest and walk away. Lord help her and guide her hand in letting go of H so that we can rebuild our marriage and that she may be able to find someone that you would have her be with. help her to let go and walk away.

thank you Lord for everything you have done and for listening to the prayer of one of your children, one of your lambs who strayed but came back because of what you have done in my life. so many of your children are hurting Lord and have needs just as great as mine. please hear and answer our prayers according to your will. in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Father,

I know that You are at work in my husbands life right now, bringing him to his senses.

Please help me to be patient for one more day.

I am very depressed right now thinking about all the years that have been so hard, and now we are apart after all that. It seems to have been for nothing, but I know you are not giving up on him. Help me not to give up.

I pray that wherever he is right now, he would be thinking about his life, and that you would give him a desire to be with us.

Hi, All:

Feeling directionless and scared tonight. Wondering how I am going to make a go of my business and feeling as if it will not happen. I have lost a lot of hope and feel the Devil at my door and I want to open that door, because I am tired of fighting him.
I need God, not in ten minutes, but now. Bills are coming in, and I am working 2 jobs and it is still not enough. If I had not been a good man in my divorce, I would have many fewer worries. Lesson learned, at least for tonight: Do not be generous, you will be sorry! I know that I am!

Please pray for me. The thoughts going through my mind are scaring me. Thannk God that my dogs and cats need me or I might not be around!!!

I am tired of feeling this way and my counseling is not helping...........

Help, I need prayers.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for taking care of us today.

I am feeling impatient with this situation, and someone spoke evil today concerning it.

I thank you that you know what to do with my husband. You know his ways and you will heal him. thank you that you are bringing circumstances to pass that are working to bring about your will in his life.

He is feeling very frustrated with things right now. Nothing seems to be working out for him ad he is unhappy where he is.

He is starting to resent and dislike her, and he doesn't like himself for the way he is using her and hurting himself and us.

Father, I pray that he will have a strong desire to be with me, adn to be with his daughter.

I think he feels that he is doing this for us, but I pray that he will understand that he doesn't have to do anything to earn my love. That I love him no matter if we live in a tar paper shack.

That I don't want him for what he earns or can give me, but just because he is .

Father, I know he isn't calling me because he is doing wrong and he knows it. He thought it would be over and done with by now, and he would have his van and be able to be free of her, but he is trapped. Lord I pray that he would not have a moments peace while he is there and he would hate it and want to be here with me.

Let him not be swayed by her in any way. Let him be repulsed by her looks and her character.Let him see her at her worst, and let her see him at his worst.

Let this be the end of them. I ask you to break any bond beween them.

I pray that he would repent and make up his mind never to be unfaithful again.

I pray that he would be thinking about me , that you would let him hear music or see things on tv that will give him love for me.

Let him panic to realise what his life would be without me, and let him see what you have given him-someone to love him and never leave him.

Father, thank you for making me strong today. thankyou for showing me the things you are showing me about myself.

That I need to recieve from you to be whole. That I can't give to him or love him unless I am whole and complete in you.

That I can trust you not to let anything go wrong.

You have given me a revelation of your love by showing me that way that I love my husband is the way you love me.

Help me tonight to be still so that I can hear from you.

Be with everyone here who is hurting and let it draw them to you who heals.

Thankyou for all the marriages that have been healed already and those that will be healed.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I am having a rough night tonight. I know that You are working on my husband, but I am feeling very low today. I trust You to stop the divorce and return my husband's love back to me. I pray You watch over him as he continues to hit rock bottom. I feel alone even though I have You watching over and protecting me. I pray my situation changes for the better.

Amen.

Lord ,

I have just sent the email to my husband. I pray that if you want him to see it he will see it and think about what I said, and not do anything with the van until he is legal to drive.


I pray your will be done in this, either way.

Lord, please , if he reads it, let him at least understand that I don't want him to end up in worse trouble because I care about him, and not be angry. It is his decision. Help him make the right one.

Please pray for me! The enemy has been tempting me in many ways, and I haven't been too strong to resist some. Please just keep me in your prayers. I need lots of strength to keep standing for my marriage. I don't even know if I truly love my H anymore, but I know that's what the enemy wants me to feel. I KNOW God is working in his life and perhaps is close to coming home. I can't give up now....or EVER! Thank you!!

God Bless!!

Father,

Tonight I ask you to help me see my husband with your eyes , with compassion.

I know that he isn't doing these things to hurt me. He is a mess, and he needs healing.

Make my heart soft so that I can love him freely without any expectations.

Help me know what he needs, how I can reach him.

Father,

Thank you for giving me insight.

Thank you that he called today and is thinkning about us with love.

I know that in his mind our circumstances seem impossible to overcome .

But this is nothing for you to fix.

I pray that you will give him a vision of hope for the future with us, for healing and reconciliation with our daughter, for our daily needs, a place to live, work, everything.

I come against this discouragment that the enemy has put in his mind. I command it to flee and I ask Father God that you would let him see that there is love and forgiveness and that you will make a way if he is willing to ask for help.

I pray that he will give up his own path and let you guide him.

Please tell me if there is anything I can say to him to encourage him.

Father, I also ask that he would see that we can be friends. Help me know how to be a friend to him.

Father, sever any feelings or friendship between him and any other woman, I pray.

Thank you.
In Jesus name I pray.

Dear Lord, thank you for being w/the men and women here and for the comfort you give us. Lord I please ask that this thursday (7/22/04) when my H comes up to drop off the dogs that even if he only stays 5 minutes that it might be an opportunity for me to be "salt and light" to him, that some fog would clear and that he may see things through your eyes, that his heart may be softened and receptive to me, that i would say and do what you would have me to do, keeping me close to you. in time that if it be your will Lord, that i would be given an opportunity to show my H that i can be the wife he needs, we can rebuild a marriage that is pleasing to you.

Lord please convict the OW to turn her life over to you, that she realize that H is not a free man, and that she needs to move on and find the person you would have her to be with. Please Lord, help her to lose interest and walk away, guide her hands Lord in that she will let go of H and walk away so that we can truly be able to work on our M.

Lord I pray that you will accept this on behalf of one of your children and that it be a prayer that is fervent and availeth much because you can do all things, you have the power to work miracles, for you have already worked a miracle in my heart by bringing me through this lesson in life and tribulation and bringing me close to you and helping me understand what it truly means to be the wife the Bible says i need to be and i know i can be that through your strength and mercy.

in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Father,

Thank you for yesterday, for the time I spent with my husband.

Thank you for the conversation he had wit our daughter, that it was natural and relaxed.

Thank you that we got together and that it went ok. I had a chance to be with him in a friendly way, no LB's.

Now he can see that there is hope for us to be friends, and that he can be with his daughter in a new way, relate to her.

I pray that he will have a good day thinking about us, and see posssibilities for the future.

I kow we are on his mind because he already called this morning.

Help me to take this slow. Thank you for the healing you are doing in his life , in mine, in our relationship.

Thank you that every day can be a fresh start!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the strength you have given me in the past year to deal with this situation.
Thank you, too, for answering my prayer this morning, giving us the time we needed to talk to each other.
Please open his heart to realize all the good in our marriage and the positives we have. Give him the strength and courage to make the "leap of faith" and cut off the relationship with her. Let him find the words needed to break it off that have not been easy for him to find. Please be with him and support him as you have supported me. Help him to emerge from the FOG and see the error of his ways. Lead him back to a relationship with You and his family.
And Lord, help me to give him the support he needs, the courage to change the part of me responsible for this situation, and the words to say to him that will make a difference.
In Jesus's name I pray......Amen

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 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!

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.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Thank you, thank you, thank you for answering my prayers. I know we now have a rough road ahead of us to heal the broken parts of our marriage. Please give me the strength and courage to continue to work as I have. Give H the strength and courage to continue to stay away from OW and to get through the withdrawal period quickly.

Please allow us to begin the rebuilding process and learn to trust one another with our hearts and love.
Also, please heal H's illness and bring him back to You.

All power and glory to you.

Amen

Father,

Thank you for this day.

I dont' know if it was wise for me to talk to the ow, but thank you for letting me show love to her.

I pray that you will convict her by your spirit, of the harm she has done to all of us including herself.

I pray that you will find her a man of her won who will love her and her children, and who will take care of them.

Let her be thinking of how she would feel if the shoe was on the other foot, if it was her whose Husband was with someone else.

I pray that you will bring good from this action Father. That this will help me adn my husband to talk openly and clear the air so we can start to be friends. Help him to trust me not to get upset or do anything hysterical. show him that I have born all this with grace and patience.

Let him know that I was very gentle with the ow, and that I didn't say or do anything to dishonor him.

I pray that no weapon formed against me will prosper- that you will frustrate any plans she has made for him, and that she will be seen in his eyes as manipulative, cold, hard, selfish.

Father, I pray that the atmosphere there will be very stressful for him this weekend, and that he will remember how peaceful it was with me, that I treated him like a king.

Father I ask for healing for my husband. You know his ways and you know what to do.

I pray also that he will not be angry at me that I went there and spoke to her. That he will know that I have a right to know what is going on under the circumstances.

I also thank you that he has not formed an attaacchment to her kids.

Please let him have a great love for Beth, and realise that he needs to dump ow right away before Beth is hurt by his contact with them.

Thank you that he did not consider bringing her there as ow suggested. I pray he will see hwo harmful this would be , and how cruel ow is for thinking of it.

Thank you for the love he has for me, and the work you are going to do in our lives.

Please guide me in how to proceed tomorrow.

Almighty God,


You said that my enemies are your enemies.

I pray that you will deliver my husband from this woman , just like you delivered Isreal from Egypt.

I pray that you will send calamity into her life in such a way that being with my husband will cause her discomfort and that she will not pursue him any more.

I pray that my husband will understand that he is enslaved, and that he will seek to be free of her. That he will no longer be deceived.

Today he will have a sudden insight into how he has fallen in to a trap. The truth of hsi situation will become clear to him and that love will overcome.

Thank you Father, that he belongs to you, and that no weapon formed against him will prosper.

That he is yours, and that your word never returns to you void.

That greater are you who is in us than he who is in the world.

I cast down every imagination or high thing that exalts itself against you , from J's mind in Jesus name right now.


Your will be done Father, in his life today.

Thank you that your will and purposes for J will be carried out and that the enemy cannot hinder them.

Anything the enemy tries to do in J's life today will backfire and J will be delivered from sin and deception.

The enemy who has tried to steal kill and destroy is already defeated by your love .

Light always overcomes darkness.

Thank you Father for what you are doing.

Father,

I just realised that it is a long weekend, and that she might be planning to stay there the whole time.

I pray that when he gets back from work tonight he will feel very annoyed and upset by their presence .

I pray that he will be convicted that he is not with his own daughter, that she needs him, and that he her kids have no right to his time or energy. That he will resent her intrusion in his life.

I pray that this weekend would be a sore trial to him, and convince him once and for all that he does not want to be with her, that it is all a bad idea, a nusiance and destroying his peace of mind.

Father, help me to be still as you work things out.

If I should call or message him, please impress that on me. Otherwise I will not call him.

Thank you that you have said in your word to me that my land shall be married. Thank you for this promise, and reassurance.

I pray for others here, that they will come to this thread to post their requests and that it will be a witness of your redeeming power in our lives.

Father,

Things are such a mess that I can't see any way out of it for him.

I see so many pitfalls in his path.

But Father, I know that nothing is impossible for you.
I know you love him and that no one can snatch him out of your hand. The OW has tried to do that, but I pray you will deliever him from her.

I pray that you would give me the words to say when he does call, that you would tell me what to say, as you have done before.

Father, I pray that the enemy will not prosper. Any lies that the ow says , or any deception will backfire.

I pray that he will be so tired of this double life that he will know he has to give her up.

I pray that he iwll have a great love for his child, and for me, and that he will come back to us. I pray that he will seek you for help to get him out of this mess, and that he will know how much you love him. Help him know that nothing he has done is too big for you to forgive, and that he doesn't have to feel guilty. He jsut has to stop what he is doing and ask for forgiveness- that the love and forgiveness are waiting for him.

I ask that you will set him free.
Father, I remember a time when I kept backsliding over and over. I remember that I felt so guilty and condemned, and that I finally got tired of feeling that way, and gave up and decided to try and do things your way.

You were seeking me out the whole time, letting me go my own way until I found out that my way was not making me happy.

Please don't let go of my husband. He has to find out for himself, same as I did, that your way is the only way he will have peace and success.

Let his hunger for love and his pain drive him to you, and bring him home.

I pray that he will hear a word today that will convict him and speak to his heart, that will cause him to repent.

Thank you Father, I know it is only a matter of time. Help me to be patient while you work this out with him.

Cajeanie,

Thank you!

That means so much to me. It often feels very lonely on this board.

It is so important to me to have someone in agreement in prayer, and there have been so many times over the years that there has been no one.

God Bless you, and thank you so much.

(Yes, Lupolady, I am so glad to know someone else understands the power of our words!)

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the work you are doing in my husbands mind and spirit.

Thank you for the lifting of the fog this past month, and that he knows that he loves us, and that he wants to be with us.


The words I spoke to the OW and my attitude toward her is convicting her of the wrongness of her actions. she is thinking of how she would feel if the show were on the other foot. She sees now that she is doing harm to a real person, and she has no peace anymore. She can't justify her actions anymore.

She is thinking about what I said about her deserving to have someone of her own who will love her and her kids, and she knows that my husband is not the one.

She is seeing that there is another side to my husband ,that he is alot like her father, and like her husband was, and she doesn't like it.

She knows that he has been using her, and that there is no hope for a future with him.

She knows now that he is not for her, and that she has wasted her time.

God is tugging on her heart, and she feels it. She is remembering the truth she heard as a child- the Word, and it is convicting her of sin.

She is experiencing fear of God.


My husband is tired of living a double life.
He doesnt want the OW anymore sexually- he is no longer attracted to her.
He is only attracted to me now.

He has no desire to talk to the OW anymore, or listen to her. He finds her tiresome, and sees how it is all about herself- her needs, her stuff. Where he used to feel good about talking to her, like a good guy, now it just reinforces the fact that he is doing wrong.

His ego is not getting stroked anymore by anything she says. He can't escape the truth about himself.

Being with her makes him feel like crap.

He knows that he has done wrong, and that most of his problems are because he did what was contrary to Gods will. He knows that if he had trusted God, and been obedient he would have had success and peace in his life.

He also knows that he has to repent and ask God to forgive him , and he will be clean again.

He is so uncomfortable with his current condition that he wants more than anything to have peace of mind and a clean slate.

He wants his family back.

God is delivering him from sin right now.

H is remembering the words of that song Desperado, and he wants to come down from the fence and come home.

Father,

Thank you also that as you have in other areas of my life, you are teaching me through this to trust you, and in your power to save my husband.

I confess that I have not trusted you with him in the past, and I have tried to help and gotten in your way.

I know that Your power is limitless, and that you have arranged circumstances and people and the timing perfectly to reach my husband .

You know his ways and you will heal him.

I don't have to worry or be dismayed. I can let go and let you work this out.

You have been waiting for me to trust you in this , I think.

You brought him into my life, and you had a plan all along, and it is working out just as you will it to.

He is yours, and you are healing him of his backsliding, and bringing him into relationship with you through all this.

Please hear the prayer said above by shul, that she is one of your children and is lifting this need up to you as you have asked her to. help her to truly believe in what she has said and that she lays everything at your feet and allows your hand to be the one that has the reign in her M. Lord please help her to have an additional amount of peace in all this and to not get discouraged and to do what is needed in her situation. because we know that the things of this world are used to confuse us but that you are wise, that you know what's in store for us and are preparing us for what's ahead. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

Father, please give me strength to keep standing. Things just seem so hopeless for me. I saw my H saturday night and You know how I've felt ever since. You know all my thoughts Father, so I pray for strength. Show me where I am doing wrong that I may correct my ways to please You. Speak to me Father. Show me what I need to do. You know my questions Lord, please answer them. Thank you God for what you are doing in my life and my H's. Bless us both always. I pray that we may be together again soon. If that is Your will Lord. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen!

Father,

We are having to walk blindly here. We can't see what you are doing in our situation, in our spouses hearts.

We know that our part is to show them love and pray for them, and that the rest is up to you.

But Father, I know that nothing is impossible for you, and that you will not give up.

I know that the darkness cannot overcome the Light. That the smallest spark of the light of your truth and your love can and will and IS working to show them the error of their ways.

We are trying not to look at circumstances, or what others say and do, but look at what you are doing today.

You have given us power and authority over all the power of the enemy, and I ask you to tell us clearly how to excersize that power in this situation.


We know that our words are powerful, so we speak in faith, trusting you, believing what Jesus promised- that if we ask anything in agreement it will be done for us.

We know that right now, whereever our husbands are, Hopefuls and mine, that the enemies lies are being dispelled by the truth. We take captive any thought in their minds that is not true, and we command that right now, they would see. The blindness is falling away like scales from their minds right now, as I write this.

They know in their hearts that what they have been doing, is getting in the way of the good plans you have for them.

They know that they will not have any peace or success until they turn from their sins and submit to your will in obedience.

They want to be clean, made whole today. Your word, and the message of grace and forgivness, the message of the cross is their hope today, that you love them and are willing to forgive and wash them clean, and give them a fresh start, a new path.

They are recalling the love we have shown them, our faithfulness, the acts we have done for them that have filled their love banks,
inspite of how they have treated us. That our love for them is greater than their sin toward us.

They are thinking right about calling to say they are done with the other person.

They will not be able to hear the accuser right now. We place a hedge of protection around their minds, that no lie, no deception can cross.

They are callling out to you Father in their hearts, for help.

They sense that you are listening, watching, loving them.

Even as they are at work, they are repenting. Nothing will distract them as they are being set free.

They see those things that have been idols in their lives as empty , not able to give them anything, not freedom or peace of mind, or success.

They have come to the end of themselves. They have come to their senses like the prodigal son, when he lost everything. The world has not given them anything except pain. They know now that they were lied to .

They are coming back into the fold. They are broken, bleeding, tired and dirty.

Father, thank you that you will clean them, wash them with the blood of your Son ,and heal them with your love.


The anger and fear is leaving and there is hope for the future taking its place.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Yes, You have caught my attention once again. I am ready to move on. By moving on, I mean not having to deal with my husband ever again. I am tired of being hurt and disappointed by him. You see my pain and know my anger. Father, allow me to do Your will. Your will is my will. How long will this trial continue? I am tired and full of pain. He no longer even contacts me to keep me up to date on what is happening. Now he has stopped paying the child support. I am disappointed in him.

Lord,
I know You are working on him. I have left him in your hands for a long time. I know not hearing from him is for the best, but I am angry. Let this trial end. You are the only one I trust. My trust is in You alone. You have helped me when I had no money and no car. Protect me again, Lord.

Amen

Father,

Thank you for what you are doing, even though we can't see it.

Help Lunadove to bear this a little longer. Give her peace tonight.

Let all things work together to accomplish your will for their lives.

Shul

Lunadove,
I know that things often seem most discouraging right before there is going to be a breakthrough.That is when the enemy works his hardest to try to birng us down.

I wonder if your husband is having financial trouble. Maybe this is a calamity of sorts to bring him to repentance?

I am praying for you, God will give you respite one way or another. He will not leave you in limbo.

Heavenly Father,

Thankyou for today, for all that you have done, and tha you are going to do in my husbands life.

Thank you that he is turning around, that he knows he was better off with me.

I put him in your hands tonight. Please wake me up if you want me to pray .

Please tell me if I should call him, otherwise I won't, and if so give me the right words to say.

Prepare me for when he calls, what to say or do.

Until then , please let the Spirit guide me in how to pray adn intervene.

Father,

I need to hear from you.

I think my husband phoned while I was out, and I don't know why, and I am distressed about it.

Father, please help me if he should phone to know what to say, and what not to say.

I ask you for calm in my spirit right now.

Thank you for what you are doing today.

You know that I have been through a battle today , but the bottom line is that he belongs to you, and the enemy can't snatch him away because he is forgiven and washed in the blood of your Son.

No weapon formed against him will ever prosper and anything the enemy tried to do backfired and is driving him closer to you.

I ask you to over rule tonight. I have not called him, I am staying dark right now, so don't let us have contact until it is the right time, and when you say so.

I ask for guidance and love. Mold me into the woman you want me to be - take away anything that doesn't honor you.

Father, please give me some private time to be with you and to hear from you, no customers or interruptions.

Than you for hearing me and for all that you are doing in my life and in my husbands life.


Forgive me for any attitude of unforgiveness or bitterness, and give me a clean heart.

Father,

I ask that you will soften my husbands heart toward me tonight. I pray that he would realise the seriousness of what he has done, and that if he hasn't done so already, he must take clear action to end any other relationships before we can go forward.

I thank you that he doesn't care for the ow, and that he wants to be free of her.

Set him free, Father. He is a strong man Lord God. Let his strength be used to break off any wrong ties in a firm way.

Father, help me understand what he needs right now, what you would have me do.

I don't know if he needs some time alone, for you to deal with him, or what.I know he has been under alot of strain and I pray that he will come to you for healing.

Father I ask that you will put a godly man in his path, who will listen and speak your truth to him in a loving way. Give this person supernatural insight and wisdom to help my husband be reconciled to you.

Thank you Father, for what you are doing.
Thankyou for knowing his ways and how to heal him.
I ask these things in Jesus name, for His sake.

Father,
He is coming here tonight.

I pray that you will let their be peace between us, and that we wil come to some kind of truce.

Help me to be calm and not to LB.

Clean my heart of any thing that is a hindrance to love.

Thank you that he is coming here. They will be done.

Father,

He has just left. thankyou for being with me, for helping me to have a gentle spirit, and not LB.

Also thank you for causing an interruption jsut before I was going to say something relationship related.

Please let him read the book I gave him, and let it teach him that he is just a normal guy who says and does things that hurt. and that he can forgive himself and learn to relate to me in a better way.

Let him pick up the book and be intrigued as soon as he looks at it, enough to read it.

Thank you Father, for letting us have a truce.

Father,

I am struggling with discouragement tonight.

But I am not going to look at the wind and waves. I know you are at work in my husbands heart, in his life, right now.

You have perfect timing, and you know exactly what to do, how to reach him. this is not too hard for you. It is what your Son came for - to save sinners.

And it is your department. I have felt for so long that so much depended on me being perfect, loving perfectly, obeying you perfectly, and it has been such a strain. I have felt so responsible , so discouraged when I fall short in word or deed.

I am doing my best to be light, but I need you to do what you do.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Protect me from the evil words and from the evil one. He is hard at work against me by telling me things about my husband from my husband. If it is Your will to restore the marriage, so be it. If not, so be it. Your will Lord, not mine. I hurt Lord, the pain is real. Help me to come to peace with all that is now transpiring. All the glory and praise will be Yours.
Amen!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for hearing and answering my prayers. I could not have gotten through this far without your help and support. Please give me continued strength and patience to support FWH through his withdrawal period. Give me the wisdom to do what You would have me do.

Please give FWH the strength and courage to remain free of contact with OW and to continue working on our marriage. Open his heart to me so I can fill it with the love we once had. Also, Lord, please, if it be Your will, place your healing hand upon him and heal him from the cancer and all that goes with his disease. Give him the courage to pray to you fro guidance and direction in his life.

Praise be to God. Amen....

Almighty God,

Thank you that you are the shepherd who goes looking for his lost sheep.

Thank you that you can move mountains and change the hardest hearts to transform them with your love.

Thank you that you know our spouses, and exactly what to do, what is needed to bring them to repentance, and reconcile them to You.

Help me to be sensitive to what you are doing in my husbands life today so that I know how to pray and how to respond to him- what you would have me say and do.

I pray that these new circumstances would cause him to wake up.
I pray that your word, the light of truth would give him a revelation of your love and dispel the darkness and lies of the enemy today.

Your will be done in his life.

Heavenly Father, please give me strength. Help me Lord resist the enemy and not fall into his traps again. Please! You know how much I love my H and how much I miss him. I don't want to ruin or prolong the plans you have for "us". Open my eyes. Let me see what is wrong so that I may do what You want me to do. Father, I want to please You. Soften my H's heart Lord, remove his heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh. Thank you Lord for leaving the ninety-nine and going to look for that one lost sheep. Bring him back to where he belongs. Into Your loving arms and mine. Guide us both completely back to You and help us stay there. Please Father, answer my praying according to Your will. If it is not what I am asking, help me understand and accept, knowing that you know best. Help me make a wise decision on living on my own or not. May your answer be clear to me. Thank you Father. I love you Lord. Take good care of my H, today and always. Remind him how much I love him and how I am waiting for his return. Thank You Lord. In your name I pray, AMEN!

THANK YOU Father , for showing me once again that you ARE working in our marriage. I never thought my H would ever call me, but he did. He wants 3 things and 2 of them I don't understand what for. But I do know that those 2 things will bring back ALOT of memories of "us". Father, you know I've been afraid to let go of one of these things. Afraid that I will never see it again. Lord, I trust You and I will leave it in Your hands. If we are meant to hold on to these memories, we will. If not, I know you will help us create NEW memories and start from scratch. Thank you Father for loving me so much and taking such good care of me. I PRAISE Your Name!! May my H learn to do the same! AMEN!!

Father ,

I know that you are at work in my husbands life. He has run out of places to hide, and by now he is realising that his ways are not working.

Father, let him have a love for his child, let him remember the love I have shown him, and give him a desire to be the man he has shown he has in him to be.

I pray that someone would speak the truth to him in love and wisdom, that he would know clearly what he needs to do to set things right.

I pray that you will give him a strong longing for his family, and a vision of hope for a future walking in your ways.

I pray that he would come to his senses, and see the danger he is in, and the way the enemy has cheated him.

Father,

I am so restless in my spirit. Please help me know how to pray and if there is anything else I need to do or not do.

Thank you that you are drawing my husband back to you, to the right path.

Protect him from the enemy tonight I ask in Jesus name.

Dear Father in Heaven,

Thank you for always being there for me. Please continue to be with me as I struggle through this mess. Protect me from H's "fog talk" and let me see the good that emerges some of the time.

Please be with H as he struggles with his feelings for OW. Let him again see what she can be like, her controlling behavior, her hypochondriac tendencies, her manipulation, and her constant need for attention. Continue to open his eyes to these and other faults and allow him to open his heart to me and our family. Most of all, give him the strength and courage to continue to stay away from her and for his desire for her to become less and less over time. Help him to trust in Steve Harley and the MB philosophy and give it the time it needs to work.

Please be with me. Continue to give me strength and courage as I try to keep our family together.
Also, be with the others who are dealing with infidelity. Help the WSes to see the error of their ways and to return to their families. Give the BSes courage to keep trying to repair the marriage. Help the OW/M see that what they are doing is wrong and break it off with the WSes.

Please bring my WH back to You and to the moral way of life. Give him the courage to stand up to what he knows he should do. Let him clearly see the right path to follow. Please give him an obvious sign pointing the way back to us.

Praise be to God and to Your power and glory.
Amen.....

Father,

I know that you can turn all things to be used for your purposes. I pray for those in MB who live in the hurrincane area, that you will use this circumstance to turn their spouses hearts , that they will have a great love and concern for their rightful husbands and wives, and that this will snap them out of the fog.

I pray that they will all be found trusting in you, during this scary time.

Heavenly Father,

I ask for clear direction today to know if I should call my husband or not.

I know you are healing him, and doing a work in his heart. Help me to know your will in this so that I don't get in the way of what you are doing.

Thank you for your grace and mercy toward him, and that nothing is impossible for you.

Father, thank you for making us one. Let me be a light to him, a reflection of your love today.

Hi prayer partners- if you have access to it I am reading a very good book- PRAYER by Dr. Myles Munroe.

Our Father- your words are what I pray in. I believe your word as you have given it to me and I know you do not break your law. I stand boldly before your throne and pray for You to turn my h heart back to You and his feet back to his family. I know You do not want divorce and I stand by the covenant I made with You when I married. I offer my h the AGAPE love You offer me thru my repentance. AS you forget my sin, I will not repeat it- you cast it to the sea and I will not repeat my transgressions over and over and make you wonder what I am talking about- since you forgave and forgot! I believe you have answered my prayers already and anticipate your answer and have prepared they way for them. Lord, I am practicing active belief in Your Word- I will get up and look for what I have asked for- I will seek and knock and YOUR WORD will come to pass. Glorious God- I pray in Your precious Sons name and thank you for washing me daily in your Holy Spirit. Amen Amen Amen

Father,

My hope is in you.

You know my husbands ways and you can heal him, you will heal him.

Thank you that he is being reborn , and that he is safe in your hands.


I pray that the lies of the enemy would be revealed. That he would see the ow for a liar and a selfish cruel person, and that he would drive her away. Let him see that she is not a friend, that she is destruction to him.

Lord Jesus,

You said in your word concerning my husband that you 'quickeneth whom you will..'.

Thank you that even as God raises dead people to life, you are able to give life to those who are spiritually dead.

Let your spirit give life to my husband today. Let him see all things new by the light of truth. Open his eyes, and his ears to see and hear and let the darkness be overcome by the light of love and truth.

Than you Lord that nothing is too hard for you, and you are able to heal his heart and mind just as you healed the crippled man.

Let my husband take up his mat and walk in newness of life today.

Heal him in spite of himself Lord, for the sake of your name so that others can see your power.

In his beautiful book, "I Shall Not Want," Robert Ketchum tells of a Sunday
School teacher who asked her group of children if anyone could quote the
entire 23rd Psalm. A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old girl was
among those who raised their hands. A bit skeptical, the teacher asked if she
could really quote the entire psalm. The little girl came to the front of
the room, faced the class, made a perky little bow, and said, "The Lord
is my shepherd, that's all I want."

She bowed again and went and sat down.

That may well be the greatest interpretation of the 23rd Psalm ever heard.

Dear Father in Heaven,

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! You are our comfort and our strength. Thanks be to God.

Thank you for yesterday and the sudden change in H. I know Your hand was at work in his heart. Please continue to work on him, to get him to see where he is and what needs to be done. Give him the strength to refrain from seeing OW and allow him to heal and return to Your fold.

Please continue to be at work in my heart as well. Please allow me to show love and support to H as works through the withdrawal. Give me the strength to love enough for both of us at this time.

Also, Dear Lord, please heal not only H's spiritual and emotional soul but also his physical body. You know of his afflictions better than anyone. Please, if it be Your will, place Your healing hands upon his body and make it whole again. He is a good man who was led astray. Help him to recover from all his pain.

Thank you God for caring about us and guiding us through the tough times. All the power and glory are Yours now and forever...
Amen

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for how much you love us all, and for all that you are doing in each of our situations.

Cause us to see your hand in things and to look for you before we go ahead.

the path we are on is a tricky one, and there are lots of times that I want a safer easier path, but I am following you, adn I know you know this way is best; that it is the path of life.


Loving our spouses is so painful and there is so much rejection. I pray for healing for all those who are hurting tonight. Give them grace to forgive their spouses so that they can heal.

I pray for all those who are in planA that you will help them to walk in love, no matter how hard it is. Let them learn to speak a soft word, to return love for hate, and to recognise that it is the enemy who is really the one who is at fault here, and to direct their anger at him, not at their spouses.

Lord, I pray for those who have no contact with their spouses, that you will give them assusrance that You are at work in their lives, even if they can't see it, and to expect good things, adn to pray constantly for your will to be done in all things. That they will come to the end of themselves and be brought to repentance. That they will find themselves in very unconfortable circumstances , and realise the mess they have made of things, and turn to You for help.

I pray esp. for Graycloud, that you will draw them both to you and make them one in you. That you will break crsuh and destroy the relationship between her and om. Be with OM's wife and children , and let this court stuff be the wake up call to OM.

In Jesus nmae I ask these things and for his sake.

Shul

Dear Lord and Savior,

Praise Your Holy Name. You are always there for us even when we doubt Your presence. Thank you for taking us into Your loving care and leading us when the going gets rough.

I know all things happen for a reason and sometimes, only You know why. Please help us to accept Your plan for our lives and lead us in the direction You want us to go. Be with everyone here who is in pain or trying to recovery from infidelity. Help the WS's and the OP's see the error of their ways and give them the strength and courage to return to their families. Be with the BS's and give them strength to continue fighting for their relationships, even when the pain gets to be unbearable.

Thank you for Your support of me through the past year and giving me the strength and courage to not give up when I wanted to. Thank you for the recent events in our lives and the emotional return of my WH. Please give him the strength to continue on the road to physical and emotional recovery.

We have truly been blessed and praise Your name forever. Amen.....
