Father,<BR>I thank you for this special group of women who believe in You, the Power of prayer and their husbands. Lord we are at many different stages. Some are in recovery, some are separated, some with spouses threatening divorce and some in the middle. Lord our husbands are also a collection of believers, some in the middle and others who have turned their backs on God. Lord, there is much pain, but You see our anguish and are with us through it. <BR>Lord, you see our husbands and the pain, pride, addictions, depressions, personality disorders, need for control and other idols that control their lives. Lord, You are also with them, but they are blind. Lord, remove the scales from their eyes, so they can see You. Remove the muffs from their ears so they can hear Your call and Your words. Lord open their hearts to receive Jesus and soften their hearts and let them notice those around them that are speaking about You. Lord instruct them while they work, exercise, driving too and from work, walking around, while they are flying and even in their sleep. Lord, inundate them with Your Spirit. Lord, reveal Yourself in such a way that they can not ignore you. Lord bring Christain men to them who share their testamony for what You have done for them. Lord touch their hearts and prepare them to receive Jesus in their hearts for the first time, to renew their relationship with Jesus, or come to a closer and clearer understanding of who they are in Christ. Lord capture every thought and bring it under Your power. Father, light the fire of desire in their hearts to burn for You.<P>Lord, touch each wife here. Lord change us. Lord change us to be the women that You designed us to be. Lord, change us to come closer to You. Increase our thrist to want more of You. Increase our desire to want to spend time with You. Lord, let every part of us so desire to be close to You. Light the fire within us to burn for You, Lord. Help us to accept our husbands and love them as You do. Help us to seek You first and work on our relationships with You. Help us to be patient with You as You work in us, our husbands and our marriages. Lord, instruct us contineously. Lord, let us seek to be in your presence contineously. Lord open our hearts to Jesus and our husbands. Lord, teach us Your ways. Lord, help us to draw Godly boundaries in our relationships. Help us to make permanent changes in ourselves. Lord, teach us to trust You. To turn over our husbands, children, circumstances to You completely. Lord, help us to get to a point that we want You more then anything else even including our husbands. Lord help us to forgive ourselves and our husbands.<BR>Lord, go before each women here that posts and prepare a their hearts for the work that you plan for them. Lord, touch Taj, AW, Pookie, SueB, Karenna, Carol, trapito, TNT, Mrs. O, Cozy, Joy, scoick, Brown, Lizzie, Babydoll, heartbroken,holding on, mercy, Mitzi, New Day and any others who visit this sight. Reveal to us all through the Bible study those things that You would have us know about Jesus, ourselves and others. Lord, You are with us, at every turn and every moment. Lord, You died for us, even our husbands would probably not do this for us. How great is Your love, grace and mercy. <P>Lord, I ask You to touch each husband who has moved out from their wives, or are just separated from their wives because of business. Lord, convict them to go home. Convict those that are with other women. Lord make their time with the ow's so uncomfortable. Lord, make them darn right miserable. Let, them wake up and realize the insanity they have been living. Remove all ow's from our husbands lives now and forever into the future. Confound and expose all other women. Lord, although the ow's lips drip of honey let their bitterness become evident. Lord convict the ow's of their part and let them pull away from our husbands. Lord, remove them from our husbands lives. Lord, bring Christain women into their lives to bring them salvation and into relationship with Jesus. Lord, show them their foolishness.<P>Lord, many husbands here have addictions to alcohol, abuse, sexual and even drugs. Lord, convict them of this and provide ways for their addictions to be given up. Lord, remove all addictions and idolitry from their hearts.<P>Lord, we praise you for those marriages in recovery. Lord, thank you for those that are able to renew their vows. Thank you for those men that are coming closer to you. Lord, thank you for those that have moved back home. Praise the divorces that have been stopped. Lord, remove every couple here from the brink of divorce.<P>Father, how gracious You are. Thank You for this forum and these special ladies. Thank you for the encouragement and nourishment and the pointing toward You always, that we all share together here. We give You all the honor and praise. Lord, we are nothing without You. Lord, help us to put You in the middle of our marriages. Lord, help us to back off andd let You work in our husbands while we learn to be supportive, loving, forgiving and kind to them. Oh, Jesus let each one of us open up a little more to You this weeek. Lord, help us to stay in You and in prayer for our husbands. Lord, let this forum be a blessing for all those who join and lurk. Let them see the Power of You in our lives and the strength of our faith in You. Let them gain hope because of our hope in You. Lord let Your light shine through each wife, husband and marriage as You bring them back together and restore them according to Your design. Lord, we thank You and praise You for all the miracles You are doing every day. Lord, teach us to pray and have a deeper relationship with You.<BR> <BR>Lord, we know that in many ways our husbands will not change. Help us to accept them where they are. Lord, but let us release them to You to change in ways we never expected.<BR>Lord with You nothing is impossible and everything is possible! Father, how awesome! It is a mystery, but a great one worthy of trusting because it is You Lord, that works in us to will and to act according to Your good purpose. Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord, thank You Father. In Jesus name we pray and lift these requests and praise to You. Amen.

What a beautiful all encompassing prayer hw. I read it and prayed right along in agreement with all you stated. When two or more are gathered together......<P>Lord, we come before You tonight offer our deepest praise for the wonderful things You have done for us this week. Oh Lord, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the blessings You have bestowed upon us, and for answering our prayers. Your unending deep love for us is so precious to each of us, and we thank You and praise You. Lord, You are our Truth, our Hope, our Life, and the Way. Let us become more faithful servants, radiating Your love. Love our husbands through us Lord. Teach us how to love them and forgive them the way You do. Lord, fill each praying wife's heart with Your kindness, Your love, Your peace, Your comfort. Hold us tightly to You, always. Help us Father to always look to You first, in all things. Father we thank you for the work you are doing in each husband's life. We see your hand in so many things, and are eternally grateful. There are not words to say that can fully express our gratitude, Father. I pray that You will keep refining each of us, molding us into the kind of wife, mother, and Christian You intend for us to be. Help us Lord to not try to take our husbands back from You. Give us the strength we need to be able to withstand separations. Please protect each praying wife, placing a hedge of thorns around each praying wife and her husband, a hedge so thick that no attacks by the enemy can penetrate. Hallelujah Father You are almighty! We praise You for the forthcoming restored marriages and salvation of these husbands. Praise You Lord, we love You and cherish You. May each praying wife be blessed abundantly by Your Spirit. In the precious name of Jesus, AMEN

AW,<BR>Thanks for the prayer you added here. I agree when two or more pray then we have more powerful prayers. I just sat here and wrote the prayer during our prayer time instead of praing off line and adding a prayer. I think I will do this from now on.I hope others will join us and post their prayers here as well. It would be nice to share our prayers. More like getting together in the physical. What do you think?<BR>AW< I wanted to ask you. You mentioned in another thread here about someone from the standers group and a letter he wrote you and wanted to share with your husband. I wonder if you would share it witrh me, I;m not sure I can send it to Jack, but I would love to see what one looks like. Does that make sense?<BR>You can send it on my email if you don';t want to in the group. I use singer412@hotmail for pryer stuff. I know my husband gets on the aol address we have sometimes. Do you pray for the standers group. I try to but I find it overwhelming sometimes. That is why I like this group. I think the other is just too big. I wonder if prayer groups would do better.<P>Hope you have a great day at work! hw<P>

hw - I sent you an email with the message. Let me know here if you don't get it, sometimes I have trouble sending messages through our firewall. Have a joyfilled day!<BR>Aw

Thanks AW, I really appreciate you sharing with me. I guess we both asked Billie Sue to forward prayers to the group. Thanks again. You are in my prayers.

Wow hw - we both felt the need for extra prayer on the same day, and posted our requests in the same place; plus we both spent time reading the information on Rejoice Ministries today without each other knowing. God certainly must want us to lift each other up. I prayed for you and Jack tonight at church too. Hope you felt blessed!<P>Love and blessings,<BR>AW

AW,<BR>Thank you for praying. I did feel lifted up. H called and talked to daughter for a few minutes and didn't ask to talk to me. He didn't try to call yesterday either. This is different from the pattern of late. I tried to cal back and say hi, but no answer (twice). So I began to wonder if she was already there. I didn't let it go on too long. I went to God in prayer and just renewed my trust in Him and it went away. So, since it was so easy to do that, I knew some must be lifting me up in prayer. <BR>Thank you AW,<P>Father, how great thou art! It just amazes me. It shouldn't because you would think by now I would reaaly know how great thou art. I agree with AW, you knew we would need each other and would somehow find each other. Thank You, Lord. Thank you for helping us to put the internet to a good and Godly use also. Lord, I lift up AW, to You now and David. Lord, make David miserablw without AW and want to come home quickly! Let, him realize what her hs jeopardized by his behavior. Lord, get David to church while he is gone. Lord, use this time to move David to come to know Jesus Christ. Lord, this is Your will.We thank You for Your blessings and Your love, and Your comfort. We thank You that we can come to You and trust, hope, love, forgive and wait in You. Thank You Jesus. Amen. Have a blessed day AW.

hw - I love your prayers. They touch my heart so much. I am so thankful to our Lord, He is so kind and good to us.<P>You're right, the enemy is attacking. Get that bondage prayer out! I'll be praying for you today. <P>Lord, thank you for comforting hw, giving her an extra measure of peace. We are so thankful for our salvation, and for You reaching out to us in our hour of need, when we feel like we can't take another minute of it. Thank You for instilling faith and trust for You in us. Help us Father to grow our faith and trust in You. Help us hold on tightly to You while You carry us through our trials. Lord I pray that You will continue to mold us into the women and wives You want us to be. Thank You Father, thank You. Father I pray that Jack's spirit is so troubled by his adultery that he cannot eat sleep without feeling Your mighty conviction. Bring him Lord to his knees in repentance, humble him before You. Lord, I pray that the OW in Jack's life is permanently removed now and forever. Let her become disinterested in Jack. I pray that their is strife, arguing and discord between Jack and the OW every time they have contact. Fill this OW with deep guilt and remorse for her sinful behavior. Enlighten her, Lord, reveal her sin to her and the world. Let her be exposed. Thank You Lord. I praise You for all prayers that have been answered. We will sing Your praises forever! IJN AMEN
