While in church this morning, I realized I have been praying for restoration of marriage but not for healing of my WH, I guess I thought they were the same thing but realize they aren't.<p>WH wants nothing to do with church or God and says that he will make his own piece with God, over what he has done. I know that I can't save him. Only his own faith can do that for him. I would feel awful if something where to happen to him and he wouldn't be saved, because of his on stubborness.<p>But how do I go about praying for his healing?....Just a thought...guess I might need some help with this. I feel that time is running out on us. He filed and this could all be over with in 90 days or so. I do have another anniversary to go through on my own, that will make the last 4 I believe I've spent on my own. UGH!!!!<p>Dawn [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

[QB][/QB]<hr></blockquote><p>Hello Daybreak,<p>Father we lift this man up to you and we ask that you would heal his hurts. Father you know this husband and you know his heart and we pray for his salvation. Father God we pray that you would begin a good work in this man and continue on until the day of the return of our Lord. Father God we pray the hedge of thorns around this man that all other people would lose interest in him and leave. Father God you have given us a ministry of reconciliation and your word says that you hate divorce and we claim this promise for this marriage in the name of Jesus. Father we pray that you would put wonderful loving thoughts of Dawn in his mind and that when he thinks of or sees her he sees the wife of his youth. We ask it In Jesus name with thanksgiving and praise.
Amen<p>Hang on to God Daybreak, He will never leave you or forsake you.<p>Thinking of you and praying for you

Faithwalk,<p>Thank you, I will paste and copy so that I can put a copy on my mirror.<p>Dawn

I beleive it was the Power of the Praying Wife that suggests this powerful two-word prayer. Change him. I've prayed that prayer quite a bit over the last year. Equally powerful is another two-word prayer. Change me.

lonesome heart,<p>Decided to add another two words to your prayer....change her.....I don't think that she is really that bad of a person, she just got caught up in something beyond her.<p>Dawn

Oh, Dawn. Your message and the replies to it made me cry and also gave me hope. I am in the same situation as you, although now I have started praying for my husband as well as reconciliation. I hope and pray that your marriage will be healed, and hope you will pray the same for me too.<p>Joanne

Faith Hope Love<p>If you want to email me it is matssecret@hotmail.com I have been following a few of your posts and sent you to restore ministries. Let me know how it is going.<p>Faithwalk

Let's see.....things are ok!!<p>I can't control what WH is doing all I can do is pray that the Lord will answer my prayers as I want and I know that that doesn't always happen.<p>Actually Pastor called to night to check on me, and as the phone was ringing, my girls had lite a candle at the supper table and a napkin had caught on fire and the smoke detector was going off and I was laughing, kind of suprised Pastor, said that it sounded like I was doing ok!! I am! This marriage is in the Lords hands (where it should have probably been all along) and I must keep my chin up.<p>WH will not be given control over my life or what it is I am doing in my life!!<p>I thank you all for praying with me, and I continue praying for you.<p>Faithwalk, I did check that site and looked at the info, thanks for sharing.<p>Faith-hope-love....I do maintain hope for my husband and my marriage but I do not expect anything, so anything I get that is good is a nice suprise!!<p>Take care,<p>Dawn [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

I am also in this same boat. At times, I feel that God is working on myself and also my husband, Ray. Please pray for both of us to change and grow closer together. <p>WH is still living with OW. He cannot seem to break away from her and is still running away from responsibilities. I do not want a divorce and I will not do anything along that line. We are still seeing a marriage counselor together.<p> The problem that WH sees is my control of everything. I have offered to give all control to him - but he will not take it. It is just an excuse to clear his conscience.<p>I know that God is working on our problems.<p>OW is afraid of me. Of the 3 times I have caught them together, each time she sees me she runs away. I am not a violent person. In fact I am soft spoken and have told her each time that I love my WH and have asked her to leave him alone.<p>Please pray for us.

always and forever,<p>At least my H is on his own and OW is over 2000 miles away, has been an EA since day 1 which is even harder for H to get over, if he ever will, thinks that he has loved this OW since HS and I was just the one that he married and now says that he didn't ever love me!! Oh well, I know what I know and he did love me and I believe that he still does. At least Ray is going to marriage counseling with you, must be kind of heard if he returns to OW after each session. I will pray for you.<p>Has been a week since I sent an e mail asking him to explain why it is our marriage is at this point, what caused it's demise, and I quoted some letters from before WH admitted that it was an EA. Have talked with H about the taxes and son and spring break for the girls, has e mailed me the last three days about the taxes, but nothing about this letter, and until I get something back from him (I haven't asked either or reminded him about letter) I can't move forward with the I want letter (starting the negotions for the D) til I have a response. So I am hoping that this is a good thing but know that it is probably just that he is busy and hasn't made time.<p>I taught a class tonight to my midweek kids about Elijah and the power of prayer, and reminded them that all prayers should say "Thy will be done" It is so hard to remain patient!<p>Good night,
Pray with me, and I with you
