My s-i-l and m-i-l have joined in prayer requesting that my H will see that he needs help. He spent a good week here with us and seemed to enjoy his family. On Sunday, he seemed to have a great swing in his feelings and began to reflect upon his life and his failures. I realize this is good, but he also had an outburst of anger towards me due to my 15 year old saying some mean things out of anger. I tried to calm things, but he left with the declaration that he is through with the relationship. I have heard this countless times, although he never seems to hold to it. I want God's will for our lives, I want some peace, to end this constant upset of having the emotional rug pulled from beneath me. I know my hope is in God, but my hope in this marriage is in God intervening and working a miracle in my H's life (mine also). Please pray for my H that he will realize he needs help. He becomes cruel and violent (threw a knife at me, later claiming that his aim was off that it came so close). I know that God is my protection, but my H is desperate, he needs healing and deliverance as well as a change of heart. His deep hurt and hatred of himself is transparent. Please join with me that our heavenly Father will reach him and soon. This situation will take a miracle to resolve. I ask for a lot of prayer, but I know that the prayers that go up are heard and will be answered. The moments when things are normal bring hope, but he is so sensitive to any slight (real or imagined) and his reaction is disruptive to all who love him. He is truly ill. I see such good in him and believe that God has a good plan for his life. Please lift him before the Father. Thank you all, your prayer support is a precious lifeline for me. The love and friendship of others here has brought such healing and hope. I will keep you informed.

Dear Lord, I come before You tonight with praise and thanks for all You are doing in our lives. Your almighty power and strength keeps me in awe. Thank You Lord for being here for us to cry out to and answering us. Lord, onedayatatime needs You, please send the Holy Spirit to her to comfort her. I lift up her husband to You, asking Lord for a softening of his heart. Show him Lord that You are Love, Truth and Peace, and will give him these gifts when he asks. I pray that Your overwhelming presence is felt by him, causing him to turn from his sin and to You. Holy Spirit, please plead to the Father for onedayatatime and her husband. Give this family a miracle Lord. I pray and ask all these things in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Dear Heavenly Father,<BR>You are so awesome and so mighty Lord. You are worthy of all praise and honor. God I ask forgiveness for all my sins and pray that you will cleanse me. Let there be nothing left in my life that will prevent my prayers from reaching your throne. <BR>God, I pray for oneday and her H. I lift both of them before you today. I pray for peace, joy, and a resolution to their problems. I pray for salvation for the unsaved and a new relationship with you for the saved. God reveal yourself to Oneday in a whole new way, show her your way and your will for your life. God I pray you will also reveal yourself to her H. Show him your power and your love. Let him begin a relationship with you Lord that will change the course of their lives. Be with them, protect them and love them. In your most Holy Precious Name I pray.Amen
