Every Wed. we are to pray and fast for one another. Every Weds we can check in and let everyone know we have prayed for the group. Prayer does mighty things and group prayer is even better.

If Cajunky won't be around to do a men's prayer time, I guess doing "Power of a Praying Wife" will have to suffice for both men and women. Do you all think this would work as your prayer or does someone have another idea?

I think it will be great to see how God works in our lives and heals our marriages and us. Personally, I believe now that Cajunky has "let go" of his M & xW, I will be excited to see what God is going to do!!

If you want to pray with us I will be more than happy to add your name to the list below.

Lady,
That will work for me. Prayer is powerful. Please pray for me. My divorce was final on Monday and I'm having a little trouble dealing with the finality of it all. I'll be okay though, just tougher than I thought it would be.
Funny, my WW and her boyfriend are happy as clams.
I pray for them as well.
Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thanks for keeping the prayer group going, lupolady. I wish and pray for peace for cajunky. Power of a Praying Wife was the first book I reached for when my husband left. My mother had bought it for me a year ago, and I had never even opened it. But as I sat in despair, I remembered it and took it off the shelf. I have read it thru, and I continue to turn to it almost daily when the words that I need in my prayers escape me. I believe that most of the prayers can be easily modified to apply to both husbands and wives.
I still need prayers for my husband and me. Communication is a big problem between us. Just when I think things are going well, a wall of silence goes up and we suffer a big set-back, and we both just feel like giving up. I am hopeful, but he isn't really. Please continue to pray for us.
I'm praying for you all as well. Thanks again.

Lady,

I agree, I think that "Praying Wife" can work for either. Just wanted to say thanks for keeping us going and thanks so much for your reply last week to cajunky. I know it was intended for him, but it was just the "kick in the pants" that I needed to hear. Every time I feel down or start thinking that it has been too long for my marriage to ever recover, I come and read your posts. They are so filled with faith and hope, that I feel encouraged to make it one more week. Also, to the others who have encouraged me here, a big thank you. cajunky, I am praying for you. Please, everyone out there, keep posting and praying. I will be praying for everyone today, and I really need yours for my WH and my marriage to be restored. May God Bless You. cajeanie

Lupo,

While it's not going to be very original, It's been a while since Caj posted the Power of a Praying Husband. But I can repost those prayers. It might be helpful to the newer people just joining us (maybe even for those who have been here a while).

What do you think?

Standfast and be blessed.

S&C

steadfast and committed:

That would be great!! I think it's important to have something for both sexes....

I guess we'll start this week-end (for Wednesday).

God Bless,

Been away for a bit. Has Cajunky left us?? I hope not for good. Others who are freshly in their situations could always use the advise or understanding that others here provide.

P.S. Oh, I see now about ex-remarrying soon. I guess the hardest most painful thing is to find out that what we are praying for may not be what God has in mind sometimes. I still have not let go of some hopes, myself.

I am on the prayers answered list still from my Last job! I got the job last December and was very happy at the time. It has been very difficult though. The office is closing & I am being let go as of 5/31st!! (not too sad about it but I do need employment!!)

I had an interview last week for a secretary job in a hospital unit. It would be a culmination of all my previous job experience and education in Health Information. It would benefit my future coursework and what Ive learned so far would benefit this position. Please pray that I get accepted for this job!! The candidate will be notified by Monday or Tuesday 5/18 or 5/19.

On another note, being in peoples thoughts and prayers has given me some amount of inner peace. My wish for vengeance has gone. The anger is much less. Only a terrible lonliness remains. I secretly wish for a maybe for reconsiliation in the future but I tread very lightly - ALOT of work would have to take place & Im not sure ex-H has reached that point emotionally/mentally yet.
I joined a DivorceCare support group and it has been my lifeline these last two months. I feel much more able to face the days!
