My husband tells me his life is a mess. I told him I would pray for him and then he tells me maybe I should stop praying for him and his life wouldn't be such a mess. I told him I would not stop praying for him.<BR>Carol<BR>

Carol, <BR>maybe you should tell him you have stopped praying but secretly pray that his life becomes a greater mess. LOL <BR>I have chosen not to tell my husband I am praying for him, of course he is not living with me currently so maybe that makes it easier. I'm sure he knows on one level I pray for him. <BR>I certainly would not stop praying for him, but you might stop telling him.<BR>Don't take it to heart, he probably just needs something to blame the mess he's gotten himself into. It is alwaus easier to blame someone else.<BR>Easier said then done, but brush it off if you can and give it to God in prayer.

Wow! This is great! I just had a difficult conversation with my hubby and was discouraged and lo and behold I see this victorious post. Hallelujah!! So the evil one has convinced your hubby to get you to stop praying, huh? Oh how funny! He is so defeated already. what a trip! And I would stand your ground girl! You tell him you aren't going to quit praying.<P>Oh Father, than you and praise you for stirring up the pot, for answering our prayers and for making this man's life a mess. Thank for showing him the mirror of his mind, for placing the ugliness before him. Continue to teach him at all times Father, especially when he is in his bed at night. Guard his mind from the evil one and fill in it's place all truth that comes from you. Pick the scabs off his heart and let him feel the pain of his actions. Show him how his wife faithfully stands up for him and You and the victory has been won. Pride goes before a fall Father and yet you say You will pick us up after the fall. Thank you for your hand in this marriage, thank you for your unfailing love. You are so awesome! Ijn, Amen.

My husband doesn't live with me either. He has lived with another woman for 16 months and God has given me the strength to stand for him. He has no ideal how often I pray, but I did feel so blessed when he told me that maybe I should stop praying for him. Praise the Lord I do see God moving that mountain. I am so Thankful that all of you ladies pray with me and your in my prayers also. I just haven't been given the Grace to write prayers like all of you, In God's time. Hugs to all and please let's keep praying for God to work on all of these men.<BR>So thankful for all of you, my words cant express how grateful I am for all of you.<BR>Carol

Thank You Jesus for the miracle you are working in Brown's husband's life. You are the miracle maker, and all the glory for this upcoming victory is Yours. Thank You Lord so very much for the peace and comfort You give Brown, helping her to get through this difficult trial with grace and humbleness. Lord, we are so very grateful for what You do for us, and know we can never repay You for all You do for us. We exalt You Lord, and I will praise and worship You now and always. Lord, I pray that Brown's husband's life is so miserable and troubled that he falls before You in total repentance. Bring this man to brokenness Lord. Lord I thank You for the upcoming restoration of Brown's marriage. You are everything to us Lord. IJN AMEN

Carol, your post made me smile. "stop praying for me". You know someone is totally messed up when they ask you that. Like God, having heard all these prayers would "forget" them? Oh no, if your H's life is messed up because of prayer and his being out of God's will, his life will stay messed up until God has emptied him.<P>Thanks for sharing that.<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Let love be genuine...hold fast to what is good; love one another." Rom 12:9-10
