I am new to this site and I would like to have you pray for my exhusband and I for the restoration of our marriage. It has been 3 months since the divorce was final and the fighting continues. Also pray for guidance in how to talk to him.

please add me & my son to your prayer list. starting over after almost 18 yrs without X with 13 yr old son. We pray each night for X & OW family. son is still waiting for dad to say he is sorry for what he did. leaving home to be with another man's wife, taking his college money to buy OW a car before D, taking everything from us he promised. this is the list my son made up that he wants to hear from dad why he did them. Our son wants dad to return to the person he once was before he became involved with OW. He knows dad is M to OW, but thought dad loved him enough to leave this woman to be with him. before OW, X would do anything our son ask, son was the only thing in the world X cared about. I dont want to ruin his dreams, our son needs to move on with his life. Please pray that our son will find peace with his dad.

I have a praise that I just heard about a couple in my sunday school class.
I will give a little history. Husband was abusive early in marriage but wife stood by him and they worked through that. Husband, through the years, was the kind that put his wife down with comments. This made her self esteem low. She had an affair so the husband announced 2 weeks ago that he had filed for divorce. Monday he had a terrible toothache but he went to a scheduled counseling session with one of our pastors and decided to work on his marriage. He left the church and realized there was no more toothache.

GOD IS GOOD!!!!

Love in Christ

The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

&#8220;When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and went to his father.

&#8220;But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

&#8220;Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

"'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"

Please pray for my H & I. We are now separated and headed straight for D. With a little help, maybe we can make it back.

Please pray for forgiveness, healing, patience, and strength to make it through.

For my safety in my new home, safety for H while he stays alone in our home.

For a sound mind and a healthy body. Please pray. Thank you, cajunky.

cajunky,

Thought I'd give you a little praise report. My W told me last night she is considering gong back to MCing. She stopped going last March. Hopefully she'll really do it.

Thank you to everyone that lift us up in prayer. I hope God blesses, protects and comforts each and everyone of you. I know without a doubt the prayers are helping.

Hey, all,

I thought I'd just pop in and give you all the "reason" why our prayer time was postponed for 24 hours...(not really the "reason", but it works for me).

I just got word by phone from the mortgage broker I am trying to re-finance my house with that they won't be able to give me the great rate I thought I was getting. I thought I would have 5.5, then got "Good Faith Estimate," and rate had jumped to 5.75. Ok, quarter percent...no biggie.

THEN, today, in a phone call, she informs me my credit history has caused them to back off that, and they can only give me 7.375. YUCK! If I pay ALL payments on time for one year, it will drop one percentage point (6.375). Well, that's much lower, but still higher than I originally thought.

Well, first thought I had was: "If WH hadn't been such a big JERK and up and left the way he did leaving me with all the bills, I wouldn't be in this situation!!!!!!!!!!" Quickly got over that attitude (OK, not so quickly) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Second thought: "Now I have to borrow a smaller amount, which means NOT being able to pay off some pesky CC bills. OK, God is in control of this. It'll all work out.

Third thought: (See first thought above)

LAST TOUGHT: "Thank you, Lord. YOU ARE STILL IN CONTROL."

Please pray for me. I'm close to tears tonight. JUST when I thought I was coming to terms with it all......... <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

S & C....sounds like your wife may be thinking about things. We will definately keep praying and let God do his thing. I am a firm believer God put us together for a reason and we should do all we can to honor that. We should go to all extremes to try and keep the marriage and family together.

Let us know when she actually goes to MC and we will add her to the prayers answered list.

Love in Christ

Hi Cajunky,
Please add me to your Prayer List tomorrow as WH is still doing alot of lies and blaming! I only wish for my old H from 11 years ago. He does know how to be kind, but has lost this along the way. The A is still ongoing also. Court is coming up soon for support and he filed for D. I have resigned from any contact again until he seeks councelling. God is in touch with him and I do trust only he can win this one.
I will pray for all of our MBer's also. I sometimes get so over whelmed on here. The Little 10 yr. old broke my heart as many years ago I was just like him. I did believe my Dad would come home, but a few short years later he died from stomach cancer so he did not get the chance to redo his life. I will pray for this young brave warrior! God love him! Bless you all and Thank you.

S & C....I just had another thought while I was praying this morning.

The first step is always the hardest. A lot of times we want to do something but something in our minds just won't let us step out and do it. Personally I beleive in many cases it it satan telling us not to. Especially if it is something that will bring God glory. While I was praying today I prayed that God would protect your wife so she could make that first step. So Satan would not put the "Emotional" thoughts in her head.

I am praying hard that she will make that first step and save the thing that God put together. I went through that with my addiction but when I made the first step God released so much burden off of me that it was incredible.

Just some thoughts I thought I would share with you.

Love in Christ

Exactly! Part of the reason is, she hasn't read her bible (other than at church) for nearly 2 years. She hasn't been equiping herself well enough to battle the enemy. I have to take some the blame for some of that. She never really see me read my bible so she thought it wasn't that important. Wasn't doing the job God gave to me as the leader of my family. Now I have quite a bit of ground to reclaim.

Thank you again so much to you and everyone else that pray for us all.

BTW Over here in paradise there is a "Christian" church is sponsering a "gay/lesbian" event tonight seeking donations to help further their cause. While we need to love them and pray for them, we also need to pray that Christians show Gods love for them and not turn it into a bible thumping party.

Thanks again and Blessings to you.

I am overwhelmed with the sin in this world.
Today I had to go in to work early, as there are some people cleaning the furnace and ducts, and I, being the bldg mngr had to be there to let them in. The building has 4 businesses and 4 apts.
As I was there this morning, one of the tenants came to chat with me, I used to teach her daughter singing, well, I asked about her and she said she was doing great, she is dancing now, exotic... I was sick. Her mom thinks its wonderful, because she makes alot of money. Sick!
This girl is very sweet, I have always liked her, and have witnessed to her in the past. Her name is Michelle, please pray for her.
Then I went upstairs to one of the apts to make some arrangements for the furnace cleaners, and a young mom along with her 14 month old daughter was sitting in her neighbors apt. Full of people smoking. You could barely see, I said, "You realize you are killing this baby bringing her into this thick smoke?" I couldn't help it, the mother proclaimed, "she is mine". I am just sickened with the Godlessness in this world. I am hoping you can pray with me over these situations, I am very burdened about it.
Thankyou and God Bless, Monika

Please pray for Wen and I. Hopefully Wen will be out of the OM's house soon. She had a rough night with the OM. We are working on getting back together. Wen needs god to find her and to help her and us out. She could use a little strength and guidance.

Thanks

BITS,

You got the prayers. Just want to remind you that God already knows where Wen is and He's right there with her. He's always known where she is and where she'll be and He'll always be there. Just like with you. Give God some time to work on her, while you and God work on you.

One thing you can do though. You make sure you are her champion and give her unwavering support. God will be there for you to help her. Pray hard for her because she may not be able to yet.

Hang tough. I know you can.

I've failed her and god quite a bit, but I'm coming around. Many months ago I prayed for the guidance to know what the right thing is to do and for the strength to do it. My prayers have been answered. I should've done it even better, but it looks like I was good enough.

I'm hoping Wen finds god's love through me or anyway she can! Thank you all and you are all in my prayers!

That's it.

Show her what unconditional love is. You be the Jesus in your M. That is what M is you know. A picture of Jesus' relationship with us. We're His bride. He gave His life to present us to the Father. You show her that God is working in you and be the Jesus in your M. Eph 5:25

You are her Champion.
