Seems like several have had challenges. Thought it might be a good idea to consolidate them here in prep for the Tuesday prayer time.<P>I pray that my husband is hit broadside by God's Spirit and that his eyes, ears and heart are opened to Jesus. again <BR>I praise the Lord for the chages in my h. He is seeing me from a different perspective and he is seeing that our relationship deserves exploring. I pray that God go before us to next weekend and prepare the way for our time together.<BR>I pray for my teenager that she can get back into school and hold it together for a few more weeks and through finals.<BR>I pray that the little one will come to know Jesus in a greater manner and share it with her Dad this week.<BR>I pray for my roomate from college, that God would do a mightly healing before she even has surgery next week. I ask that He reveal Himself to Carol and comfort her and help her to Know Him in a more real and personal way.<BR>In all I pray God's will. Amen

Well things haven't gotten much better this past week and as many of you know, Tuesday was the worst. But I have many things to Thank God for and many others to pray for. One, I got through the week with help of a dear friend SueB and I thank God for bringing her into my life. I want to thank God for giving her the tools needed to help many of us here and the wisdom that she shares with us when we need it. She always knows what I needed before I even asked for it. Whow... thats a treasure.<P>I pray that my H finds you dear Lord. I know he is searching and I can only pray that he finds you soon. I pray in your sons name, Jesus Christ that you bring him home to me so that we may begin restoring our mariage. I pray to you my Heavenly Father that you continue to restore me so that we both can be an instrument in the restoration of our mariage. I pray that you Dear Lord continue to place me in the right places in finding full time work so that the burdens of my finances do not burry me in fear and dispair. And I pray Dear Lord that you continue to carry me because I am truly too tired to walk this journey by myself.

Hi all,<P>Well, my update is a pretty good one this time. <P>I'd like to praise God that Bob has finally shown an interest in his sons. He called Saturday and today and is going to try and see them this evening. Also I got the money to keep from losing my house because my dad got a loan for me. That's all taken care of now. And when I spoke to Bob today he was almost pleasant to me. That's all I've ever wanted. Plus I had a job interview Friday and I should be going to work within the next 2 weeks. <P>I'd still like you all to pray in agreement with me that Bob will be cured of his alcoholism and show an even greater interest in the boys. Also that it is God's will that I get the job that I really need!! <P>Prayers to all,<BR>Mitzi

Hope you all had a happy Easter!<P>I'd like to praise God for His never ending love for us. Thank Him for holding my family tight and continuously working on on our marriage. Thank You Lord for keeping making me the loving, caring wife you want me to be. For helping me be the mother my children deserve. <P>I pray for all my sisters in Christ that they are given additional strength to continue working on their Christian marriages. I raise their husbands and children to You Lord that You may guide them and teach them the right way. Help them do Your will.<P>Please soften their H's hearts, keep them away from temptation, addictions and obsessions. Please watch over their children no matter how young or old, so that they may feel no fear and know how much You love them and that You will protect them from harm.<P>Thank you Lord for this site, where we come together in Your name. For strengthning our Love for You! Amen! <BR>God Bless!<BR>~Pookie

I just want to praise God for the peace He gave my troubled soul. Although my husband took his new friend to meet three of our children in Tennessee, I knew I had to lift praises to God although the pain I felt was overwhelming. God quietly reminded me that He is in charge of everything ... nothing happens in this world without Him knowing about it. <P>Praises to His name for the peace that passes all understanding; thank you Father for sending friends to spend the day in laughter and joy on Easter. Thank you, kind Father, for letting your child know you are always near.<P>I praise you and thank you, through your Son Jesus. Amen.<P>Hopeful Heart

After I wrote about my miracle husband, I went downstairs to fix the coffee. My sink, which had dishes that couldn't fit into the dishwasher after the big dinner, was empty and spotless, the counters were clear and clean! After I went to bed, my husband emptied the dishwasher and reloaded it and washed out the sink and counters! Be still my beating heart!<P>We have been talking about the different love languages and how so often we try to give love to each other in the wrong love language and it falls on deaf ears. My love language is acts of service, so the things I have shared with you are large bank deposits for me! His are a bit more difficult. Though he agrees that his love language is affection, admiration and tokens of appreciation, the visual "action" associated with those is pretty limited and follow much of what I am working on putting boundaries on, so filling his bank account is more difficult. <P>Please pray that I can find acceptable ways to show my husband love that he will deem worthy. (He did like the certificate of appreciation that I made him last week.)Pray that I continue to take the log out of my own eye and become the woman God wants me to be, that I continue to hear the Spirit's voice when I need to apologize and clarify my limits and my errors. <P>Continue to pray that My husband's mind remains bound from any evil thought and that his mind is clear and ready to accept the Word in the contxzt that the Lord desired. Pray that he is not controlled by his emotions and that he is able to articulate his feelings in such a way that I am able to be empathetic to him with honor.

I posted my update on a separate thread. It's not a good night for me. <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum25/HTML/000368.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum25/HTML/000368.html</A> <P>I praise God for not forsaking us, ever. I praise the Lord above for speaking to our husbands hearts, filling them with a desire for their wives. I thank Jesus for the upcoming restoration of hw's marriage. I praise God for restoring Pookie14 and mercy's marriages. Thank you Lord. Thank You Lord for causing SueB's husband to see her in a new light and for helping her. Lord I thank you for the many answered prayers we have seen. <B>I would like to pray in agreement with you that God's perfect will is done in my husband's life, also that David be brought to brokenness, lying at the foot of the cross, truly repentant. I pray for continued softing of his heart towards me and our marriage, and deeper commitment. I pray for the Lord's wisdom to be poured out on me, and that He give me strength to make it through my H being gone. I pray that the Lord erase the pain and hurt from my heart. I would also like prayer for him for Holy Spirit filled believers to be placed in his path at every turn, to minister to him. I praise God for the miracle He is about to work in my H's life. Thank You Jesus!</B><p>[This message has been edited by Alcoholic's Wife (edited April 25, 2000).]

I thank thee Lord for these precious sisters and all the support and service they give. I thank thee for thy bounteous blessings, that we always have what we need, just in time. I give thanks for the strong and honorable man my husband truly is at heart. Every day I can see His blessings in my life as a consequence of the righteous prayers and lives of others. I am so unworthy of the blessings I am given. I pray that I will be strong and grateful and give praise to Him who upholds us all. My children, my mother, my friends all support me in prayer. How can I fail? Thank you for my online sisters! (I love you for being so vocal.) Especially the wisdom of SueB, hw, AW, cozy, Carol, and everyone who has been sharing their ups and downs. We all love thee Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, our Master, Amen
