Would you mind to pray for my family and I. I haven't been on for a few days. Our 16yr old D has given me lots of problems. Our 19yr old son moved out. My h as you know left 14 months ago. Says he's buying ow a car and coming home. bought the car today. He didn't tell me this but I know he did. Said he would be home in March sometime. I feel like a doubting Thomas and I don't know why I just get so depressed and think I have to second guess everything. If I mention when he comes home or anything like that he seems to be depressed. Do you think he really wants to come home. He now tells me he loves me sometimes he even tells me before I tell him. I cant seem to get him to talk much. God has answered prayers for me and I pray alot. Maybe I dont pray the way I should. I have the book power of a praying wife. Does God get angry with me when I get so depressed. Last night we had a wonderful conservation on the phone and then today he acts so depressed. I'm so confussed and I only want to do what God wants me to do and Gods will. Please help me.<BR>God's blessings and love to you all.

Of course I will pray for you Brown. You know what, I was thinking about you on my way home tonight, wondering how you were. I'm so glad you posted tonight, I was getting worried about you. I'm so sorry to hear about the problems you're having with your kids. My daughter became a problem child between 16 and 17 yrs. old, by 19 she kind of snapped out of it. She's 23 now, and is the most precious person in the world to me. There's hope for you daughter, they do get better! <P>The evil one has us all under attack lately Brown. Don't let him take you under. Keep up your shield of faith, and the Lord will see you through. Keep praying, every minute, every hour, every day. For with God all things are possible. He loves you Brown and wants your marriage to be restored. Remember, "faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1. I say this verse over and over a lot..... because I have to keep faith that the Lord is working on my H's heart, even though I don't see evidence of it.<P>Tonight I saw a glimpse of an answered prayer. I have been praying that the Lord deliver my H from his alcohol addiction. I've been praying that the taste or smell of alcohol will make him wretchedly sick. Well, he got drunk today, came home a little bit ago. He told me in casual conversation while he ate dinner that he'd been having a lot of headaches this week (he's really been drinking a lot this week) and his stomach had been bothering him. The Lord is working on him, just as he is on your husband. Keep faith, and pray, pray, pray!<P>Dear Heavenly Father, thank your for listening to and answering our prayers! You are almighty, and all the glory goes to you. We praise You Lord for loving us so much, and giving us all we need. Lord, You are all we want, we love You and praise You with all our hearts. Thank you Jesus. Thank You for working on Brown's husband's heart. Lord, fill him with joy when he thinks of her, and fill his mind continually with thoughts of her. Let him have no peace and no rest until he moves home and reconciles with his covenant wife. Greatly trouble his relationship with the OW, remove her permanantly from his life, directing her attention to a man who is single. Confound and expose this OW Lord, bringing her to repentance. Thank you Lord for comforting Brown while she waits for You to bring her husband home, in your time. Thank you Jesus for caring for her every need while her husband is gone. We are in awe of your power and love. The highest praise to You Lord. In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN.

Aw or I should say Rootbeer,<BR>I'm so happy to hear of your blessing with your husband and his getting sick. My husband has also been sick. I just keep praying. I get angry with myself because I become weak. I just don't understand if he says he's coming home why not just do it. If he wanted to do anything he would just do it. So why wait on coming home. Thank you for your prayer. One day I want to let God's word's flow through me in prayer like yours and the others. Thank you and I will keep you and the others in my prayers, I do see God moving that mountain. Much love and blessings to all.

Hi Brown,<BR>I believe that depression is the presence of evil in our lives/mind.We are in spiritual warfare remember- satan wants to break up our marriages because marriage glorifies God- we all know that here at this site.<BR>Remember we have the heart/mind of Christ only through God's Grace of course- we are ZIP, in and of ourselves. The good news is that we have been given power over the enemy. <BR>I am praising God right now for working the evil OUT of your lives,and that in His time,one day at a time,your marriage and all of our marriages will be restored as we ARE praying according to His will!<BR>Praising God for restoring joy in our hearts.IJN,Amen!<BR>Love and prayers,<BR>Joynicole

Brown,<BR>When your husband is in an affair and you have a teenage daughter, it is soooo draining. It is like having two people go through adolescence. It is overwhelming. My daughter just turned 16 last month. She has spent the last year in such rebellion. I didn't know whether I"d survive. Some of the kids are such a bad influence in our neighborhood that I had to get her out of here. There is a wonderful Christain boarding school on Long Island. I have sent her there for the year. She is not totally happy but is getting by. This weekend she went to a retreat about relationships and young women. She decided last night she didn't want to go and was on the phone with me three times. Well, I convinced her to go and she just called raving about how great it was. Praise the Lord. My daughter went wild early and seems to have settled down a bit. I sure it will wax and wane for the next few years. My daughter knows about the ow and she is so mad at him. It has not helped their relationship but he has tried a little more lately.<BR>Brown is your husband on medication for depression. Heck at this point I think we all are on it. Mt 16 year old has been taking medicine for ADD for many years. Last year a new Dr changed the medicine and she started going down hill. He halfed the dosage come to find out, part of the reason for the end of 9th grade she went down the tubes. This new Dr. got the Add medicine straghtened out and added a antidepressant. We adjusted it in Dec and since then I have seen a big improvemtn. When she is home she now sticks to her curfew.<BR>Anyways we found out my husband is clinically depressed and it runs in the famuly. It makes a big difference in him. I started grade school in the fall a week before my husband moved out. Well bt Christmas and final I was losing it so I called the Dr. and got some for myself. Between praying more since Christmas and the anti depressants it has made such a big difference. The power of prayer is amazing. But it is not just the prayer it is seeking to know God as the purpose to your prayer. The first chapter of the {POPW really opened my eyes. I pray that often. I pray for God to change me. He hhas peeled away the layers of anger over the last several months. Since I have been taking prayer seriously and asking God into my life each day I have seen some incredible changes. I feel good. My situation has hardly changed but I have. I am closer with God and He has really worked on me/. I pray for my husband and and my children and I see God working in their lives but I see so many changes in myself. I just got the power of a praying parent. I will continue to pray for my husband but add my children also.<BR>I know where you've been and I will continue to pray for you, your husband and children. Turn to Jesus and seek to know him with all your heart and let go and let Him. He will guide you in how to do that even.<P>Father,<BR>Wrap Brown in your strong and loving arms. Give her an extra measure of faith, hope, and mental strength. Help her to seek you and your love and let her find rest in You. Jesus touch her husband and bring him home sooner. Lord, touch her daughter. Wrap her in a hedge of protection from all the temptations and dangers that lurk and seek to draw them away and into harm's way. Be by her side to make good decisions. Keep Brown close to you. Show her your love and increase her faith in You. Lord we serve and love such a mighty gracefilled God who keeps his promice. Lord help Braown to let go and release her husband and her daughter to you to work in their lives. Work in their lives in ways that are beyond our imagination. We praise you for these answers and praise you that your will will be done and your glory seen. Amen.<BR>Don't let the evil one trick you into thinking that your faith is not enough. God hears even the littlest whimper and can use even the tiniest of faith and build it into a mountain. Believe that God will through you.

Without God I would never have got this far. He is my strength. I seem to let go and let God and then I seem to take is all back. Praise the Lord my daughter told me she was going to church with me today. What a blessing. My husbands girlfriend sings christian music. My husband told a friend of ours he wanted to go to a christian concert that is going to be local here. I don't know what God's plan would be with my husband and his girlfriend going to all of these christain events together when they live in adultry. Thank you all for your words of wisdom and encouragement for my family and I. I do appreciate your prayers also. God's blessings and love to all.
