Thank you hw. I didn't post a request tonight because I didn't know what to say. I especially needed to hear this passage:<P>Whether we turn to the right or the left, we praying wives will hear a voice behind us say, "This is the way, walk in it." Isaiah 30:21<P>

Dear Father God of the Universe,<P>Thank you, Lord, for all we have, for all we are, and for all you would have us become. We love thee and praise thee for the mighty works of power and love that thou hast already manifested in our hearts. Thou hast won the war and we seek to join thee in thy Kingdom and in thy works.<P>Please forgive us once again of our sins of pride, hard hearts, faithlessness. We have all fallen short of the mark and need cleansing.<P>Bless our lives that we may be more filled with thy light and be a beacon to all we meet. Let all things be done for thy glory in thy will. Please bless our families, especially our husbands, that they may seek thee, even as we seek thee. Let not our prayers be vain, but filled with faith and love. Answer our yearnings and pleadings with blessings according to our faith and our obedience.<P>Father, please grant us thy comforter. Send us the peace of Jesus this night. Calm our minds and hearts that we may understand the paths we are to walk with thee. Bless us each in our many needs which thou knowest better than we. We beg thy blessing upon this group, and and upon all who are seeking to heal their lives or marriages through thy principles.<P>In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

Awesome prayer Karenna! Father I join these sisters in unity that our voices are heard above the din of everyday problems, knowing that oyu hear and will answer us according to your will. We praise you for how you will address the issues in our lives, answers that will show your glory in a depraved world. Thank you for adopting us, for making us your daughters and esteeming us far more than anyone on earth could possibly do. Continue to be the potter of our lives and mold us into your likeness. IJN, Amen.

Almighty God, We come before your throne and bow our hearts and pour out our hurts and needs. Lord, we need you to heal us of our torment as we try to make sense of H's adultery. We pray for hedges of protection to surround our husbands and our marriage so that no adulterous woman can get to our husband and vice versa. If by our husband's choice, he continues to stray, Lord we commit our H to you so that he returns to repent to You and to his wife and family and allow Your Will to work in his life.<P>Lord, we put before Your Amazing Grace and Mercy those H who are finding it hard to forgive their sins and adultery. I pray especially for Taj's husband to be touched by Your Holiness and be cleansed white as snow and to begin life anew in you. I pray that their marriage will be blessed by Your Light and that their future is in Your loving Hands for only You are capable of righting the wrong for Taj, and in touching her husband to devote all his love and energy to living in Your Will.<P>I pray For all of us whose husbands are in the same state of self-loathing to commit their lives to truly live God's Will and to come to God in sackcloths and ask God to cleanse them of their sins and guilt. We ask that our husbands tell the truth to help set us free in the name of Jesus.

AMEN AND AMEN

Lord, you hear us because we are your own. Please answer our prayers because of YOUR grace, YOUR unfailing love, YOUR Son, our Saviour.<P>Restore our families to health spiritually and let us rejoice in your deliverance, so that we can exalt you and give you all the glory.<P>Amen <BR>and Maranatha<P>lizzie/pearl of great price
