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.

There has been a rally over on the Prayer Request forum to start a weekly prayer time for people on the MB boards.

Would anyone mind if we switched it over to that forum? I'd do dual posts to start with an announcment and a link to the other forum to lead everyone over there. I think we would get more people praying (and probably more requests as well).

What do ya think?

Here's Chapter 6. This one is real important guys.

Her Relationships

Your wife needs friends who build her up and enrich her life, and allow her to do the same for them. She needs trustworthy and faithful companions to talk to, to pray with, to offer help when she needs it, and with whom she can discuss important topics about which you may not have the slightest interest.

Relationships with family members are extremely important and must be covered in prayer as well.

The bible says we should not be "unequally yoked together with unbelievers" (2Corinthians 6:14). This doesn't mean you can't have unbelieving friends, but the relationships that influence you the most should be with people who strive to live God's way.

Forgiveness is Critical

Crucial to any relationship is having and maintaining a forgiving hearts we have to choose to be a forgiving person.

If your wife has any unforgiveness in her heart toward anyone, pray for her to be free of it. If she doesn't get free, it will affect every relationship she has and keep her from becoming all God made her to be.

Prayer

LORD, I pray for (wifes name) to have good, strong, healthy relationships with godly women. May each of these woman add strength to her life and be a strong prayer support for her. Take away any relationship that will not bear good fruit. I also pray for good relationships with all family members. May Your spirit of love and acceptance reign in each one. I pray for a resolution of any uncomfortable in-law relationships for either of us. Show me what I can do or say to make a positive difference. Specifically I pray for my wifes relationship with ( name of friend or family member). Bring reconciliation and restoration where that relationship has broken down.

LORD, I pray that (wifes name) will always be a forgiving person. Even if she doesn't feel like it at the moment, help her to forgive out of obedience to You. Show her that forgiveness doesn't make the other person right, it makes her free. If she has any unforgiveness that she doesn't realize she has, reveal it to her so that she can confess it before You and be released from it. I especially pray that there would be no unforgiveness between us. Enable us to forgive one another quickly and completely. Help us to remember that You, LORD, are the only One who knows the whole story, so we don't have the right to judge. Make my wife a light to her family, friends, co-workers, and community, and may all her relationships be glorifying to You, LORD.

S&C- Good idea! Even tho I like to offer support, prayers, and advice to those who are where I was not so long ago, I feel odd coming to the divorce forum for the prayer group, since my H and I are reconciled and recovering.
We definitely still need prayers for our recovery.
Thank you for keeping this wonderful prayer group going.

I would like to add my name to this list. Please pray that my wife realizes what she is doing, has a change of heart, stops talking to this man she is talking to, and devotes herself to this marriage. Please pray for me to stay strong and focused as well. And for our children that they don't get hurt in this.

I'll be fasting and praying Wednesday as well.

I know that my name is already on this prayer list, but I would like to add a special prayor in regard to my marriage.

My wife has agreed to meet with our counselor that we had been seeing prior to her asking for a separation. (This takes place tomorrow at 10:00 am Pacific time.) This counselor was not involved at all in our decision to separate (since my wife has given up on our marriage), and he did not know that we had decided this until I called to make anappointment with him.

My wife agreed to this appointment, from the standpoint that we were to inform him of what we have decided to do, and to ask him to help us with strategies to better our communication to get through this.

I would like to ask that God gives our counselor the wisdom to help us think that maybe there is some hope (even though I plan on moving out anyway, and to somehow bring up the possibility of future reconcilliation.)

I would also to request that you pray for me to say the right thing(s) to help acknowledge all the things that I have done wrong to not treat her well, and that I am a changed man through opening my heart to The Lord through Jesus.

I pray that my wife can somehow open her heart to the possibility of noticing these changes, and that if these changes occur, to consider working on restoration of our marriage.

God Bless you all!!

I agree, this thread prolly belongs over on Prayer Requests!

C&S, if you wouldn't mind directing everyone over there for awhile every Wed. till everyone figures it out, I think it would be more appropriate.

I also think that's where everyone (who is a christian) would probably start looking for help (at least I did). Eventually, I visited all the forums, but that one did "comfort" me in the very beginning.

God Bless all.

Starting next week I will be posting this thread in the prayer requests forum. I will also provide a link to it for a while. At least until it seems most of the people know where to look.

see ya at the cross tomorrow.

hello everyone,

I will have my list of names and requests ready and pray for all of you tomorrow.

I am trying something new in my prayers for my M and WH,Dan. It was suggested to me(by a friend) that instead of generalized requests that I make them more specific, so here goes for this week. I'm just learning so it may take me a while to get it right, so bear with me.

Please pray that God will speak to my WH, Dan and the OW and reveal to them that they do not have true love, but have a relationship built on fantasy; the sin of adultery; lies; cheating and the foundation of it is based on hurting others. That God will open their eyes to reveal that this is not true love, but a selfish, self-centered lust and can not succeed because it is not God's will. Also, that God will open my WH's eyes to see that his "true love" is me, his W, who is willing to love and support him and to care for him and that my WH's only way to prosper or to succeed is to be in line with God's will and that means rejecting sin and humbling himself before God and truly seeking repentance. My WH, Dan has always had a lot of pride and great difficulty in admitting when he has made a mistake. Pleas pray with me that God will help him with this.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers.

I think it would be great to move over to the prayer board.

Hi, cajeanie:

I like your idea of being more specific in our prayer requests! Here's my prayers for my WH for tomorrow.

I am praying that the Lord will speak to his heart, his mind, in that Still, Small Voice. I pray that H will NOT shut his mind to the Voice of God, which I am certain he's been hearing.

I pray the Lord will tell H that all this CAN be fixed, that he has NOT totally screwed up so bad nothing can fix it, and that MC can work for us!

I pray OW will also become so disillusioned with what she "thinks" she has, that WH is not meeting HER needs in the way she thought he would, and she would realize taking another woman's H is NOT the way to find a mate to spend her life with!

Nice idea, Cajeanie.

God Bless,

Power of Praying Wife
"His Obedience"

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">If you clearly observe your H walking down a wrong path, should you say something? If so, how much should you say and when is the right time to say it? The best way I've found to proceed is to take it to God first and weigh it on His scales. He may instruct you to just be quiet and pray.

But if He does direct you to speak to your H, there is a greater chance of him hearing God's voice somewhere in your words if you've prayed before you speak. Anything percieved as nagging will be counterproductive and better left unsaid. Praying that his eyes will be opened to the truth and his heart convicted will be far more effective than you telling him what to do.

No man can receive all God has for him if he is not living in obedience. Jesus, who was never one to beat around the bush, said, "If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matt. 19:17). He knew that nothing would give a man more peace and confidence than knowing he is doing what God wants him to do. God's Word promises that by being obedient to His ways, your H will find mercy (Psalm 25:10), peace (Psalm 37:37), happiness (Proverbs 29:18), plenty (Proverbs 21:5), blessings (Luke 11:28), and life (Proverbs 21:21). Not living in obedience brings harsh consequences (Proverbs 15:10), unanswered prayers (Proverbs 28:9), and the inability to enter into the great things God has for him (I Cor. 6:9).

A man who does what God asks, builds his house on a rock. When the rain, floods, and wind come and beat on the house, it won't fall (Matt. 7:24-27). You don't want to witness the downfall of your house because of your H's disobedience in any area. While it's not your place to be either his mother or the gestapo, it is your job to pray and speak after you've gotten your orders from God.

If your H's disobedience to God's ways has already brought down your house in some manner, know that God will honor your obedience and He will see that you will not be destroyed. He will pour His blessings on you and restore what has been lost. Just keep praying that your H not have a hearing problem when it comes to the Voice of God, and that he has the strength, courage and motivation to act on what he hears.

PRAYER:

Lord,
You have said in Your Word that if we regard iniquity in our hearts, YOu will not hear (Psalm 66:18). I want You to hear my prayers, so I ask You to reveal where ther eis any disobedience in my life, especially with regard to my H. Show me if I'm selfish, unloving, critical, angry, resentful, unforgiving or bitter toward him. Show me where I have not obeyed You or lived Your way. I confess it as sin and ask for Your forgiveness.

I pray that you would give (H's name) a desire to live in obedience to YOur laws and Your ways. Reveal and uproot anything he willingly gives place to that is not of You. Help him to bring every thought and action under Your control. Remind him to do good, speak evil of no one, and be peaceable, gentle, and humble (Titus 3:1,2). Teach him to embrace the stretching pain of discipline and discipleship. Reward him according to his righteousness and according to the cleanness of his hands (Psalm 18:20). Show him Your ways, O Lord, teach him Your paths, Lead him in Your truth, for You are the God of his salvation (Psalm 25:4,5).

Help him to hear Your specific power to live Your way. Help him to hear Your specific instructions to him and enable him to obey them. Give him a heart that longs to do Your will and may he enjoy the peace that can only come from living in total obedience to Your commands.
