My H is at his work drinking again. I talked to him a few minutes ago, and he was back to his old, mean, hateful self. I've been crying so hard since I hung up the phone, it hurts so much that he would turn his back on his promises to me so easily. How am I ever going to stand this? I don't know what I've done to make him turn on me, I am bewildered. Dear God, Please take this horrible pain away. Deliver David from his alcohol addiction and spirit of meanness and anger soon. Please be with me Lord. IJN AMEN<P>

AW,<BR>The enemy is at work this evening. I just wrote a beginning to our prayer time and was logged off before I could post it. I really wanted to keep it, but God will use it for Good. Aw hang in there. It is hard at such a time. God loves you and he hears the anguish of your heart. He wants you to pray with us, so He can sooth and comfort you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, He has his loving eyes on you. I will be lifting you up in prayer and remember Jesus will carry you through the night. He is God. If He is for us eho can be against us.

The peace of the Spirit is back within me. Thank you ladies for praying for me tonight. I was afraid, I let the enemy attack me full force. I let my husband's addiction drag me down into despair. Satan did this. He tried hard to thwart our prayer vigil tonight, but <B>HE WAS OVERCOME AND BEATEN!!!</B> again. All the glory to God. <P>Thank You Father for lifting me up tonight. I praise You Lord, you are my strength, my counselor, and my Savior! Father, thank you for your presence with me tonight. All glory for removing my pain goes to You, dear Lord. Thank You Jesus, thank you. I pray that you will use the events of this evening with my husband to Your glory. I praise you Jesus for turning a negative situation into a positive one. I praise You Lord, for You are almighty and so worthy of all of our praise! There will never be no one before You, I reverence You and worship You, Father. Thank You dear Lord for re-filling me with the Holy Spirit tonight, and showing me where I have erred. I confess my distrust, and hurt over my husband's drinking. Please forgive me, Lord. I pray you will use me for whatever you need in saving my Husband from Satan's snare. Let him hunger so deeply for you Lord, that he has no rest until he gives his life completely to You. Praise you Jesus, thank you Lord.

AW,<P>I'm glad your last post was calmer. You have such incredible faith and satan will attack that with such force. Remember the better we feel, the harder evil works trying to destroy us.<P>Prayers,<BR>Mitzi
