Hi again ladies. I'm going to be working on next week's updated Summarized Prayer List for us; I'd like to post it Sun. night. <P>If each of you would be so kind as to post your update if you would like to, and post any prayer needs you have I'll get this out. Also if you have praises you'd like to share, that would be great too. Thank you all for being here, praying together, and helping each other learn to lean on Christ. I love each of you and am SO GLAD that the Lord led me here. Thank you dear Father!!!<BR>

I ask you to pray with me that God will touch my husband. He had told me he was going to stop the divorce and move home in March. He has not stopped the divorce and I recieved a letter from my Attorney today telling me I have to have my answer to the complaint filed by next friday. Prayers please. God's Blessings to all.

Brown, I will lift you up in prayer today. Please keep faith, this may just be a clerical mistake, attorneys sometimes don't do things as quickly as their clients want them to. We will all be praying for you and your husband. Rebuke the devourer Brown, keep rebuking the evil one and pray to our Lord without ceasing. God bless you brown, I know the pain you must be feeling. <P>Love and many {{{{{Brown}}}}} to you,<P>AW

I'm having a terrible time. My H has posted in General questions in Infidelity as Guard "I betrayed my wife for 1 1/2 years." He's saying all the right things, but it feels empty and insincere to me and I am confused.<P>I feel like I've lost my center and my path. And my mind and my love for my H.<P>My prayers are deep sighs and groanings.

Lor, thanks for posting here. I have been aware of your husbands postings and have been praying for you and him accordingly. I saw your post to him and wondered how you were handling all of it. We are with you and God hears your groanings which cannot be spoken.<P>My update for this week is mainly praise for the progress we are making in recovery. The hardest part continues to be my thought life which where it is better it still goes to places I shouldn't let it.<P>Also I would ask for continued prayer for my husband Mike that he would truly see his forgiveness in God and begin to walk with the Lord again. I still believe our total recovery will come when he again is seeking God in all areas of his life, reading the word and living for Jesus.<P>Thanks Rootbeer for faithfully putting up an update on our prayer concerns.<P><P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Hi. <P>Please keep praying for my eye to heal completely. I'm not allowed to wear my contacts for a month, and I hate my ugly glasses, which aren't the right prescription. I'm sitting practically under the professor's nose in my algebra class so I can read the board. <P>My first prayer request is that I learn to see and appreciate progress and stop looking at the half empty cup....We have come soooo far. Yet, I want daily I love you's and praise...which may never happen in this relationship. I fight the urge to find someone more giving and expressive. It is so tempting to bail out, knowing that no one would blame me at all after the betrayal...<P>We are going out in an hour for our early Valentines dinner. I'm trying not to set my expectations so high that I am doomed to be disappointed. We have generally been having a very good time when we go out, but you all know the hype around this holiday!!! <P>Also, please continue to pray for my husband's relationship with God. I asked him to pray with me the other day and he said, "Not yet, it would be insincere. But I do have moments of 'weakness' when I think about it." UGH.<P><BR>Thanks for doing the list again. It really makes it easier to be consistent about praying for everyone.<P>lizzie\pearl

I would like to ask for prayers for me and my relationship with God. I have been reading the Bible for 3 days and I have already finished the New Testament. I feel like a praying fool! LOL <BR>On a serious note, I would like to ask for prayers for God to go before me so that I don't say things that I will regret. Also for Him to soften my H's heart towards me and our family. Fill him with the need and desire to be a whole family again. <BR>Thanks MTAW!

My update: I am learning to hear the Lord when he is speaking to me. I'm still having times when I'm alone that I'm furious with H for what he did. God is showing me how to overcome this. God is answering prayers, He is working in my H's life (although H doesn't know it yet). Recovery is going well, H seems happy most of the time. Drinking is still an issue, but I've made a conscious effort not to say anything at all about it, and let God deal with him on this. <P>My prayer requests this week are for God to continue working on me, changing me into the kind of wife described in Proverbs 31:10-31 that my H will be proud to have. Also for God to call H to repentance, H's salvation, deliverance from alcohol & lust addictions.

Iwould like your prayers form my marriage to be restored. Although I have been divorce for 2 1/2 yrs, I still have not given up hope, no matter how slight it is. I won't give up till he marries. He lives with the OW, but there are no plans at this time to marry. I would pray, like Mitzi, that my ex's heart be turned back to his family. I am encouraged by what I read in these posts.

I am afraid the only progress at this time is that I am learning more about honesty and speaking in a softer voice, refusing to defend the verbal attacks that come in rapid-fire sessions. Each step I take to set healthy boundaries is met by outrage. As I pray for the Spirit to guard my mouth from unwholesomeness and to lep me to stay ot of the Lord's path as He deals with my husband, I can see God bringing His truth to light and I know that angers my husband as well. <P>Pray tha I continue to shower grace on my husband in spite of his horrible behavior, that I keep my eyes on the Lord for my strength and comfort, that the Spirit continue to guard my mouth and that the eyes of my husband's heart be enlightened. Thanks.

Please keep praying for God to change H's heart about wanting to separate-he said it will be in two or three months.The house is going on the market soon-even before we finish it.<BR>Please pray for God to keep changing me.<BR>Also to send Christians in H's path.<BR>Wish I could write more.I got a chance to write a good deal the other evening, but I shook my mouse(I mean REALLY shook it)-you know how they get off the mark- and my entire post disappeared.........Maybe I need extra prayers for patience.......<BR>Thank you all.God bless and restore us all.<BR>Love in Jesus,<BR>Jn

I'm going to wait to post our revised prayer list until later this afternoon, in case there are others who weren't able to post over the weekend to post their requests.<P>Thanks y'all.<P>MTAW

St. Mark 11:23<BR>For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believethat those things which he saythshall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.<BR>Put us on your prayer list, pray for our faith to hold through these dark days and we will see the silver lining again, pray for the refreshing of my husband's spirit, for him to return to God and for me to be the joyful gentle spirit he fell in love with and married 20 ears ago, pray for the restoration of our marriage and that God will remove the lust for the OW out of my husband's heart.
