I'll be praying all afternoon, would you please pray with me? <P>Today my husband has to give his attorney his decision as to whether or not to accept the prosecutor's offer to avoid the trial tomorrow, or to go ahead and be tried for the assault charges against him. Please pray for the Lord to give him the right decision according to His will, and for God to give the attorney and the prosecutor words from God with regard to this case. Thank you all so much.

AW,<BR>I am right there with you! I will be praying also this afternoon. Could ya also sneak in a few for my H and my family? Some good things have been happening.<BR>Prayers,<BR>Mitzi

yes, i'm here praying for His strength for you, remember to lean not on your own understanding (or lack there of).<P>Lord direct AW and her husband. direct him to you!

AW,<P>I prayed that God's will would be done in regards to your H's circumstances. Its hard to pray not knowing the situation and sometimes it takes hard things to get our attention, then again to break your H's spirit at this time might work against things.......so, may God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.<P>How are you holding up? This has got to be nerve-wracking! Don't know what people do without Jesus!<P>Blessings, Taj<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Aw,<BR>I'm praying for you and with you and your husband. God Bless. IJN<BR>

AW, you've been in prayer all along regarding all of your situations. This is only a part of the big picture of life. God's plan will be done. Hang in there and you do have my prayers and best wishes.

Prayer partners,<BR>I've been calm today, Thank you Lord for giving me calmness. Thank you Lord for leading me to this website and this prayer group! Without you ladies and your prayers I would be a basket case I'm sure. <P>I don't know yet what my husband decided. My son was with us all evening so we didn't get a chance to talk. I think he must have opted for the counseling sessions, because he told me to get him up early for work because he had to be at the jobsite real early tomorrow. Doesn't sound like he's going to court tomorrow. I just keep praying over and over, Lord your will be done with regard to H's trial. <P>God was with us this evening. H & son were watching TV (I was in the same room with them, re-reading POPW), and son started asking H why he wasn't spending time with him doing things. My son told my husband in a half-joking manner, "if you wouldn't sit around drinking beer all weekend you'd have time to do things with me". H's response was that what son wants to do costs money, son replied "you'd have money to spend if you didn't spend it all on beer". H got quite the lecture from son on his drinking habits. Son told H that "all my friends think you're a drunk". H didn't get mad, just tried to make a joke about what son said -- but I could tell H was thinking about what son said. I did not make a peep during any of this conversation. God is working on him....<P>My praises all go to our Father in Heaven, He is amazing. <P>The Power of Praying Wives! PTL!<P>And from emani's post - Pray Without Ceasing...<P>Love to you all,<BR>AW<BR>

Update - talked to H this morning, he chose the 6 months of court ordered spousal abuse counseling, so there will not be a trial. He has a 2 hr. counseling session every week. I think that these are group counseling sessions for men. Now I'll be praying that these sessions are filled with born again Christians!!! Thanks again for your prayers.

Thank You Father, we asked for Your will to be done and we accept that this is Your way of accomplishing healing in this man's life. Bring forward men of God to minister Your love and restoration. We wait in anticipation of what you are going to do. IJN<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

AW,<BR>Praise Jesus that H will be receiving the abuse counseling!<BR>Wow, after all the thoughts about court, and now it's not happening......Again,PTL<P>Yes,I will pray that there will be Born again Christians in his sessions to NUDGE him.(A subject, as you know, near to my own heart.)<P>Re:All the pain from your H's past--- this is what my H is going through in his "New Age"(unfortunately) counseling....bringing up everything in his past,and apparently my very presence reminds him of all of his past painful family experiences-(father was an abusive alcoholic-still is)- because I am "just like" his family of origin,so he says, and he is resenting ME for reminding him of his father, his mother, sister,etc.......... brother....arrrrrg!!!! <BR>Even if this is so,I believe that by God changing ME, as my H works through these issues,we CAN be restored to a Godly marriage where there wasn't one before because of all my husband's pain. I'm up against a challenge because I can't say a PEEP about the influence of this counselor per H's wishes.Everytime H comes back from a session with him, I can feel the coldness/anger that had almost disappeared before he went to it.His next therapy is on Feb.18th, and like a girlfriend of mine said- pray for the therapist to become saved!<P>I've also been praying that God will sloooooooooooooow the process of this house selling, because husband almost daily, reminds me that we will separate when this happens.<BR>Meanwhile- a praise- husband has noticed that I have been changing. He said the other evening that I haven't been "white knuckling" everything like I used to.<BR>The calming effect of our Lord's Wisdom,all of our prayers here and all of the suggested reading material,of course!<BR>I have sooooooo many of these prayers written out, printed out, stuck in every nook and cranny of my Bible,and POAPW! Oh yes- and in the other fantastic three books I am reading-(thank you Liz/POGP)- always right there in front of me to pray pray pray!My gratitude to you prayer warriors for all the prayers from the heart- everyone at this site....guiding me...... strengthening me........sustaining me..........<P>Thank you,AW, for all of your prayers, and know I am doing the same for you.For all of us.<BR>Love in Jesus Christ,<BR>Jn<BR>

AW,<BR>Sorry I didn't get this earlier. I was at work all day. However, I did lift everyone up from the list you organized a couple of times today. I pray that your husband will respond to the group therapy. I pray there will be other Christians as members in the group. I pray that your husband will be send many messengers with the word of God for him. I pray for you AW, that you enjoyHis peace, and calm and receive His love for you every day.<P>Please pray for my husband to come closer to God. Please pray that the events of Wed night be used for good. Please pray that if it is in God's timing that my husband will say yes about going to the movies on Sat night with me. Please wrap a hedge of torns around my husband to keep all evil out and let in only what is from God. Please pray that all relations with the other woman be severed for good. Please pray that what he found interesting about me and our conversation grow in his heart and that he will want to come closer with me. <P>AW,<BR>I know this was a difficult day but it sounds like You opened the door for God to enter and comfort you today. Praise God that He is a God that answers prayer. In fact He has already answered all these prayers.!!!!

I just wanted to share God blessed me with a wonderful day nothing happened but I felt so much peace today. Gods blessing. I'm praying for everyone. Good night and God Bless.

Thank you all so very, very much for your prayers this week. I really needed them.<P>I wasn't on-line yesterday because it was our anniversary. It was probably one of the best for me, not because my husband did anything special, but because of our renewed commitment to our marriage. There are have been a number of anniversaries in our 15 year marriage that I'd rather not remember - that caused me extreme hurt. I prayed a lot yesterday. The Lord heard me, and was with me. My husband came home sober, he loved the dinner I made him, and he was so nice to me. This means so much more than any gift he might have bought. He's never been one to buy me gifts, no matter what the occasion, so it was no surprise that he didn't do anything for our anniversary. It just made me feel loved that he came right home after work, and spent the evening with ME, talking to me, and just being together. This is SUCH a big improvement over what's happened in the past, and I am so thankful to God for working in my life, changing me, and showing me what kind of wife I need to be for my husband. <P>I thank God every morning for allowing me the opportunity to work on saving our marriage. Because, it is WORTH IT. <P>I know that the change in my husband's attitude towards me and our marriage stems from all the prayers we have sent up. God made these changes. All the praise and glory goes to God. He is so wonderful to us. Thank you Lord for being with me yesterday, and today, and tomorrow.

AW,<BR>Praise the Lord, for He is mighty. Praise the Lord Oh my soul. I've been praying for you and I am so glad that your anniversary worked out so well. It is such a hard date expecially when they either don't remember or you can tell they'd rather not be celebrating it.<BR>From Christmas thru March are many birthdays and valentine's day, it will be hard this year. But God is with me as He is with you. I'm so thankful that yesterday was so good for you.<P>Father, We praise you for your answers to prayer. You are working in our husband's lives and changing them. Father, you also are working so beautifully in these praying wives, thank you, Jesus, for your continual love and sustaining us through your love during this difficult time. All glory to God!!!!!!!!

Aw,<BR>Happy Anniversary. I'm glad you had a nice one. Thank you for the prayer list also, it was so kind of the work you did for us. I could use one of your special prayers today if you dont mind. I feel so weak and helpless. I'm waiting on God. He is my strenght.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, remember that God never puts us in a situation that we can not handle.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Alcoholic's Wife:<BR><B>I'll be praying all afternoon, would you please pray with me? <P>Today my husband has to give his attorney his decision as to whether or not to accept the prosecutor's offer to avoid the trial tomorrow, or to go ahead and be tried for the assault charges against him.

Thank you Candy for your prayers and kind thoughts. We just had a rather heated discussion regarding this issue, apparently my husband's atty. is trying to get all charges dismissed. I don't agree with this. Instead of doing what I should have (Shut Up and Pray) I argued with my husband about what he and his atty. have discussed. This atty. is also his divorce atty. His atty. took it upon himself to assume that I would agree to dismissed charges. I don't. I feel that my husband needs to be held accountable for what he's done, or he will just keep doing it. My husband went to bed angry with me and I've been in tears since. It seems that the more I pray for God's intervention in my marriage, the more unstable things become. I'm just failing all the way around lately. We have one nice day together, and Satan can't take it, so he stirs up a lot of trouble for us. We took one step forward this week, and now are three steps behind. Why can't I just keep my mouth shut?!?!!<P>Please pray that the Lord will MAKE me shape up! Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Brown, of course I will be very happy to pray for you. Wish I could say that our good day carried over into today. Oh, well, back to the prayer closet I go.<P>Dear Lord, I come to you tonight to lift Brown0674 up to you for Your comforting. Please send your love to her, and fill her heart with peace. Lord, she has hung on so long in faith that her husband will see the truth. Please send her a glimpse of what your blessings for her will be Lord. Let her faith become stronger with each passing hour Lord. We ask in Jesus Name for the Holy Spirit to envelop Brown, and keep her safe from the attacks of the enemy. She feels weak and helpless Lord, please turn those feelings into feelings of strength, hope and joy in You. Show her the path you want her to take with regard to her marriage. We stand in faith for her marriage tonight Lord, and are expecting a miracle in her husband's life. Dear Lord, we know it is your will for this marriage to be saved, and have faith that You will restore this marriage, and bring this wayward husband home. I pray with all my heart that this marriage will be saved soon, Lord. In Jesus precious name we ask these things, AMEN.
