Thank you God for how you have intervened in this marriage. You have answered our prayer for the restoration of this marriage. Your will is for a husband and wife to be together till death and we know that this is how we must pray believing that you have the power to make that happen. We praise you God for You are awesome in power and desire to take care of your children. Continue Your work of restoration in Brown's marriage and give this couple a brand new start with You at the center. Thank You for answered prayer. IJN<P>Brown, I am so excited for you. It is unbelievable how the hand of God is moving in our lives as we commit our marriages to Him in prayer. The mountain of infidelity God is truly moving and He is pushing it into the sea!<P>Blessings, Taj<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Most of you have delt with you h in an affair. What takes them after they decide to come home to really move back? Sometimes my husbands actions make me think he is second guessing his choice to come back home. He doesn't spend really any time at all with me. Still runs to the ow. I feel satin must be working hard.

Brown,<P>I just started reading another book by Stormie. It is in regards to the "light" God gives us along this journey. One of the things most clear is that we usually only have enough light for the step in front of us. Too much light is confusing and can blind us. God wants us to lean on him and not on the confidence we find in trusting people or things. Try to keep your focus only on God and don't start trying to analyze what your h is thinking. He may not even know what he wants for sure at this point but the fact he had stopped divorce proceedings is definately a step in the right direction.<P>Lord, help Brown to trust only in you. Give her wisdom and light for each step she takes. Help her to see Your light leading her in Your perfect plan for her life. IJN<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Hang in there Brown. God hears us praying, and even though you may not see it, God is working in your husband's life. A week after my H said he wanted to get back together, he seemed to be having second thoughts too. I just couldn't figure it out. But, he did come home, Praise God. I do believe that Satan works doubletime when there's a pending reconciliation. Just keep praying and praying. We'll all pray with you.<P>Dear Lord, please be with Brown tonight, comfort her and bless her. We ask in Jesus Name for a hedge of thorns to be placed around her husband, protecting him from Satan's attacks. Speak again to this husband's heart, giving him a desire to be with the wife of his youth, Brown, and only her. Impress upon him to spend time with Brown, working on restoring their marriage. Thank you Lord for all the wonderful things you have done for them. We praise your name to the highest. IJN, AMEN.

Aw I know how hard it is to live with someone who drinks, I been their. I know it will be hard to do again, my husband had been sober for 7yrs. Now he drinks often with his girlfriend. Tonight our son came home drunk. Our son has started to drink often almost daily. He started to cook, melted a lid to the crisco can, I seen the smoke and became even more alarmed. I had asked him not to cook. Aw you know what it is like trying to reason with someone drunk. Well my son got angry with me and kept telling me to leave. In anger I in turn said to him, this is my home and if anyone is leaving it will be you. I was instant sorry and did tell him so. Well being very stuborn. He went to leave I tried to stop him, next thing I know is he has his truck barried in mud in our front yard, he gets out goes and takes the van. I try to stop him and I couldnt do it by myself, I had to call on God and praise God, all the Glory to God. Our awesome God brought my son home about 15 minutes later. It was another wonderful blessing from our God. I sing praises to our God. He brought my son home safe tonight, he healed my 16 month old graddaughter who was very very ill last week, and he is going to heal my marriage in his time, he has given me the strength, peace, and wisdom to follow his will in my trial. I just cant praise him enought. I just wanted to share the blessings I have received in the last couple of days from our God. Your all in my prayers. Thank you for taking the time to listen. God Bless you all. IJN amen

Praise the Lord, God is sooo incredible. He burys the tires of the truck in mud and then brings him home safely. Thanks for sharing how God is working so beautifully in your life. It is so easy to recognize all the prayers that are not being answered. We must continually recognize that He is always working even if we don't see evidence. Thanks for your uplifting news. Praise the Lord, and again I say Rejoice!.

Thank you for coming on line and sharing this with us all!! I am so thankful for these Praise Reports. Praise God for intervening, our God is so good! Keep singing those praises Brown!<P>I have a little Praise God to share too. All day yesterday I was anxious about my husband and our marriage. By mid-afternoon, I was about to lose it, so I started praying little prayers for peace for me every few minutes, and little prayers for the Lord to place conviction on my H's heart, and to fill his mind with thoughts of me and our family. (We had had a discussion about his lack of affection and cold-heartedness and why it bothers me in the AM before he left for work - it made me cry - he just left). The peace came back, on my way home from work as I continued to pray for our marriage, my H called to tell me he was on his way home (6:30 PM - real early for him on a Friday night - his usual drinking with the buddies night) and he did come right home!!! Praise God Praise God Praise God!!! <P>H is working again today so again I will be praying without ceasing. He has to work today with one of the guys that is THE WORST about getting drunk and not going home. This guy can't stand his wife, so he thinks no one else should want to be with theirs either. I've been praying for HIM to be convicted and saved too. <P>Thank you dear Lord for your answers to our prayers. We praise your Holy Name Lord. Lord we lift our marriages and spouses up to you today, please continue to work in their lives, as well as place peace in our hearts. Thank you Lord for all you have done. IJN, AMEN

Fathe we praise you for Your hand in our lives and for your faithfulness to us. Father , make today another day of miracles and open the eyes of AW's husband as he works with this man today. Show him the ugliness of this man's spirit and how he has been deceived by the evil one. Give him a sense of urgency to get home to AW, to the haven you have given them. We thank you in advance. give both of them an awe in your mercy and goodness. We praise you Father. All power of evil is bound from this family. IJN

Thank you for your prayers SueB. I am so thankful to the Lord for impressing upon my H's heart to share with me the details of his day, and what he'll be doing the next day, giving me the details of what I need to pray for in my H's life. <P>I have really been enjoying the book I'm reading, "Listen, God is speaking to you" by Quin Sherrer. Very uplifting. <P>I have ordered yet another book, "Praying for Your Unbelieving Husband", I'm hoping it comes ASAP. Between all the prayers going up from the MB prayer warriors, his mother, and me, my H doesn't stand a chance of evading God's call to his heart much longer! Thank you so very much for helping me stand in faith for my marriage. <BR>

I have told you my husband says he was dropping the divorce and coming home in March, Well he hasn't dropped the divorce as today I recieved a letter from my attorney and a copy of the courts records that I have to file my answer to the complaint by next friday. I pray God will direct me to his will on how to handle this divorce and how to approach my husband to talk about it. I leave my faith in God. I do ask you to pray with me. IJN. Amen

Dear Father in Heaven, please comfort your child Brown0674 today. She has placed her faith in you for the restoration of her marriage, we are asking that You speak to her husband's heart right now, filling him with love for his wife, removing all thoughts of divorce. Lord please find a way to stop these divorce proceedings. As you state in your Word, what God has joined together, let no man separate. Be with Brown right now, give her peace in her heart, go before her in all contact with her husband. Give her the words to speak to him Lord, let those words go directly to his heart. In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN.

Brown:<P>The thought came to me after I prayed that prayer. (sorry, but that happens sometimes.)<P>Remember Peter..... He walked on water as he kept his eyes on the Lord. When he looked at the situation, down at his feet, all the what if's and how come's, he started to sink. Keep YOUR EYES on the Lord.<P>Connie
