This week, I would like prayer that the Lord would call jack back to him and that the Holy Spirit would be able to soften his heart enough so that Jack would hear Jesus calling him. <BR>I'd like to praise Him for all He has done in both our lives and that He especially be with Jack in California this week. Let God use this week for His glory and our good.<P>I ask that my heart be made pliable to the word of God. That my own heart would become intune with Jesus. That I can remain quiet long enough to hear Him caling me. That Jesus change me because I can't stay where I am and go with Him too.<P>

Hi all, First of all, I just praise God for the sweetness of hearts that I am seeing on this forum. I really am seeing a gentleness and tenderness that just touches my heart. I ask that He continues to teach us, nurture us and show us how to encourage one another.<P>Secondly, I ask for prayers for my DH. Though we are making great strides with the baby steps, impatience is knocking at his door. I ask for wisdom and insight in how to respond to him in an honoring and loving way. I ask that the Lord break through his discouragement and free his mind from negative thoughts. I ask that we be given wisdom in how to prioritize our life for His glory. Also our daughters will be leaving this coming Sunday to go back to live with their mom for the school year and I am sure the usual grief stuff is fitting in here too.<P>Thirdly, I just ask for wisdom and insight through his word, that I might absorb his truths in a mighty way, that I might develop such a sensitivity to be able to understand how the MB tenets work in restoring this marriage in light of our differences. Thanks for the prayers!

Prayer request for tonight: <P>Praise God for the miracle He is working in David's life; for the healing He is giving to our marriage. Praise the Lord for the praying wives on this forum and the restoration of each marriage. I thank the Lord for the good work He has begun in David because I know he will be faithful to complete it.<P>I pray that the Lord place Holy Spirit filled Christians in David's path to minister to him, that the Lord enlighten David's heart so that he will be receptive to the Holy Spirit's wooing, giving David the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that he will come to know Jesus in an intimate way, I claim the victory for my marriage as I stand on God's promise that "what God has joined together, let no man separate". I pray that those that are stumbling blocks to David's salvation are turned away from him and lose interest in him. I pray for God's protection over David as he travels home from California.<P>Thanks ladies! Looking forward to a blessed prayer time tonight.

I would like to pray God remove the confussion from my husband, he repents his sins, leaves the ow, comes home to the bride of his youth and his family, I pray for the ow, I'm not sure of how to word this but since she learned my pager no. she pages me aprox. 4 times a day, she leaves me the message 666, I would have my number changed, but those numbers don't bother me and If I did change my no. she would think that I was scared or something like that maybe, Lord heal her she needs you in her life, Lord heal my husband he needs you in his life. In Jesus name I pray amen.

We need prayer for the continued restoration of our relationship. Primarily, my H needs to turn to the Lord and seek the physical and emotional healing that he nees. Last night, he was again threatening suicide and did not want to talk. He is at his ropes end. I praise God for that, but ask that God will protect him from the attacks of the enemy. Yesterday, they discovered swollen lymph nodes in his groin and it may be related to his recent surgery. He is scared. I praise God for his goodness and mercy, his faithfulness, his loving care. Please agree with me in prayer regarding a mighty move in our lives, for God's intervention in this situation, for the preservation of my H's life, for my weariness, and the protection of my daughter as she is hearing her Daddy threaten to end his life.
