What a great chapter for my H. My H is in great unrest & not just with me. I have had a suspicion for quite awhile that my H is not hearing or acting upon a calling.<P>The words he says are so contrary to the Word. <BR>"I can't." <BR>"It/I won't change." <BR>"This is the way it is." <BR>"I don't know what is right for us."<P>Lord, I pray that my H opens his heart to you and hears what you want of him. Close his ears to the Enemy's deceptions and lies. Convince him that You hold the truth and You are the way. All things are possible with You. Give him the certainty that he is able to follow your will and your Word. I pray that the light of your glory shines through his life and this terrible time is turned to good as we love Christ. In Jesus precious name.<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Do not get tired of doing what is right, for after awhile you will reap a harvest of blessings if you do not get discouraged and give up. (Gal 6:9)<P><BR>

Lor,<BR>We fight some amazing battles in our relationships don't we? I am so glad that i have this group and the strength of the Lord with me. I find my faith growing every day. I even find that I am reacting differently to the things that my H says and does. I know that i would not have been able to do those things with out the strength of God. <BR>Lord help all of us through these difficult times in our lives. I know that as long as I am holding onto your hand lord i am headed in the right direction. Lord show our husbands how to reach for you and keep them on the paths that you have choosen for them. In Jesus name. Amen<P>------------------<BR>morgan

First sentence, "Everyone has a purpose". My H goes through his life letting life happen to him. That doesn't seem like living life with a purpose. He spends so much time at work that I guess he feels that is his purpose. I really feel that stuff happens when we just go through the day and allow other peoples goals to direct us. <P>Page 94, "You can always tell when a man is not living in the purpose for which God created him. You sense his unrest. You get a feeling something is not quite right, even if you can't put your finger on it." I lack the peace that Stormie refers to , my H seems very unfulfilled and just going through the motions of life.<P>"Lord, take my husband from this place, reveal to him what You've called him to be, and open doors to what he should be doing." <P>I really feel that until my H is able to forgive himself for what he has done in our marriage God will have a hard time directing anything in his life, including his choices. So again I ask, Lord, Help him to forgive himself as you have forgiven him.

Boy can I relate to the struggle with feelings of unrest... I really need to pray that God directs and gives purpose and that the placebos that are being used in the place of what Gods purpose is, be removed..<P>I need lots of prayer here I have noticed!!!<P>cozy
