Every Wed. we pray and fast for one another for resolution to our marriages and our lives. Every Wed. we can check in and let our fellow prayer warriors know we have prayed for the group. Prayer does mighty things and group prayer is even better. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matt 18:20.

I will be entering the prayer post on Sundays so everyone has an opportunity to check in and to add their own personal prayer request if they want to/need to. Then on Wed. we can check in, hit the "Post Reply" button, and enter "Amen".

I think it will be great to see how God works in our lives and heals our marriages and us. If you want to pray with us I will be more than happy to add your name to the list below.

I an a new member of Marriage Builders. My husband is having an affair and I want you to include us in yourprayer request. We have been married for 15 yrs now. Please pray for my husband Jun to be set free from his relationship w/ his other woman (a thai lady) and be delivered from other controlling emotions. Pray also that the LOrd will convict him of any error in his life and take away all the pride that is causing him to deny all his faults. Please include my name in you prayer and I want to preay for the other members as well.

~hopeful98~

Please include myself and my family in your prayer list.

I have ended my affair and am staying commited to my H although he still wants a Divorce (I do not). I would like to restore our marriage better then it was before. For my DD and our soon to be newborn to be saved from all the ugliness I have created through the affair. For my DH to have the strength to see past the hurt and anger to a clearer future together, and for me to find the strength to find myself and to make it through all of this no matter the end result.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you ALL!

Blessings~

Amen! Where is everyone else today???? I was having problems getting on to this site earlier today, perhaps you all did too. Well, just want you to know that you have all been prayed for!!

I am celebrating another birthday today!!! Thank you Lord for another year and for keeping me safe!! Even though it brings lots of sad memories (since H left me 5 days after by b-day 2 years ago - yep that would be valentine's day) and was very distant on my birthday that year, I will make the best of today and the days to follow. Thank you all for always keeping me in your prayers!! Love you all!! God bless!!

Antonpickels, you have been added to the list. Welcome! We will be praying for you and your husband.

Saving Grace, I will most definitely add you to our list. Welcome! Glad to hear you have ended your A and are staying committed to your M. Even though your H wants out right now, trust God and leave it in His hands. We're praying for you!

Amen! Yes I had trouble with the server earlier. I hate Valentines- 03 was the year I knew ex and OW were still in contact, then the next day, he told me she was pregnant with OC. STINKS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPEFUL98!!!!! ENJOY The day- think of GOOD times and GREAT things to come!

Amen.

Hey adgirl, how did your fast go? Did you do more than 12 hours?

Saving Grace, welcome to the Prayer Forum.

antonpickels, Welcome to Marriage Builders. When you get a chance read some of the materials the Harleys have provided. EN's, Love Bank, Love Busters etc. There will be books to read (His Needs/Her Needs, Surviving an Affair, Torn Asunder and others). It will be very valuable. And keep posting here. Unfortuantely, there are plenty of people to help you.

Did I forget anyone?

Oh yeah! Hopeful98! What is this your 29th birthday? You don't type a day over 26. Hope it was a wonderful day. I will celebrate the 17 anniversary of my 29th birthday this year. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Blessings in abundance to everyone.

Love in Christ.

Hi everybody

Sorry that I didn't post, but with me relocating, trying to find a place to stay and not knowing if my business loan will go through its been a hectic week.

But God is great and you were all in my prayers.

My new new years resolution is not to moan about my situation but to start rejoicing as often as I can. I know God will do his best for my M.

------------------------------------
Lord
I'm always smashing into a brick wall
In my battle with time and energy.
I want to serve You, dear God
But I'm not always sure of my motives....


Dear child
Please leave something
for Me to do.

By all means add me to prayer list so that I may be made whole again either through reunion with my WW or healed for the future and do whatever God would have me do.
