Please take five minutes today to think about the people here on the Prayer Requests forum on MB--the ones you get along with and the ones you don't so much get along with, and cherish them. Send a thought of love to every person on this board and remember that in the end, we all want to be loved and accepted for the valuable, precious person we are. Call it a prayer...call it a positive thought...call it whatever you like that fits for you, but send the love and let people stay in that love and soak it up as long as they need.

Hi

I must thank you for your prayers and thoughts. Seeing me mentionedd by name is really a big support. I've been telling people about you guys praying for each other and me knowing that I've got your prayers all the way from America really helps me.
The amount of people who has been giving me support in my daily life has been amazing. I must also add that I re admitted God into my life on Monday 1 November 2004. When I told my mom over the phone she started crying. I've been so strong since yesterday and I'll probably start reducing my anti-depresseant medication now.

My first wife gave me the book "A Purposeful Life" which has made a big difference in my life. NOw I must start strenghtening my belief in God and hope that I'll eventually influence my wife to go to church with me.

My love and prayers go with all of you.

Keep the faith alive.

Gustav

I made made the same decision as you. I have always been a Christian, but I most deinitely was lacking in many areas.
After my husband forgave me for my A, I felt I needed to get closer to God. I have also become more involved in the Church, serve on various workgroups etc. Looking at your surname I seem to think that we might live in the same country.
Having no one to talk to about my A (actually my regret thereof), in desperation I turned to this MB. I have started reading all the various articles and received some excellent advice.
I am just struggling with my guilt and shame. It was the biggest mistake of my life, but I refuse to lie down. I just have to make up for my sins. Reading all these posts rips me to pieces, as I am one one those causing the pain.
I love my husband dearly. I work very hard in trying to prove my love for him. I need his trust again and hope to get it one day. I will be patient.

In the meantime, I will serve the Lord in every way possible.

Coming closer to God is something I should have done many years ago.

Gustav, I replied to one of your posts last week. I will keep you in my prayers as well.
God Bless you.

Hi Blue Ice

Thanx for your prayers, all of you.
My wife actually agreed last night to go and see a psychologist with me. I know that this is God's way of starting the heeling process. I also found out last night that my wife has been living with guilt for the passt 5 years about something she did before our marriage. My heart was ripped to pieces, not because of what happened, but because I really care for my W and I want to help heal her soul.

The biggest problem at the moment is to completely rely on GOD and not to be full of myself and try and do GOOD!!

Thanx, I cherish all your support and prayers!!!!!

Keep the faith

Gustav
