OH, Where to start with the prayer requests - 10/20/99 11:17 AM
There are so many things that I need to pray for, but will only limit to a few. I will be reading this forum frequently and praying for those who need additional prayers as well. This is a great idea. So many of us do feel that prayer is the last straw for some of our relationships.<P>Please pray for my DH. He is hurting so badly from the pain that I have cause due my affair(s) (One before we were married, unfortunately the other while I was pregnant with third child). He is so bitter and angry and I cant seem to help him. He needs God's strength to move on and learn to forgive. I know I was amess until I found the Lord again. It took a lot to come back to him (Lord) after I had betrayed him too. But my life is getting bette within myself and I am so greatful for this.<P>Also pray for our three children, although they are young (5,3, &1), they are still being hurt from the fighting going on in their home. Please pray that God will protect them from this awful situation that I have put them in, and take care of them. Allow them to see the right way to be in life and not to make the same mistake I have made.<P>And lastly, please pray for me. I am so confused as to what to do in my marriage. The affair has been over for over 1 1/2 years, and no contact has been made, but my H cant seem to stop hurting. I am not asking for us to forget it, I know this is not possible, but I need the strength from God to do the right thing. Is the right thing to stay in the house and make my H miserable, and hope that some day he will learn to love me again, and show my kids that this behavior is ok, or do I leave, and walk out on everything I hold so dear, my H, my kids. I need God's strength to do what is best for everbody, and if that means leaving, I will need even more strength to get through the nights without my children.<P>My faith in the Lord has not always been the best, but in the last year, I have grown to really love the Lord. I draw more and more strength, when I step foot into the church for an hour. I feel at peace for an hour a week. I feel safe. I wish I could get my H to go to the Lords house and find peace for a brief moment.<P>I am sorry for the long post, but this thread is something has been needed for a long time. I think it will be very beneificial for everyone, and what a wonderful way to share your love of the Lord and your belief in Miracles. <P>If we could, when a prayer is answered, please post them here. For those of us looking for brighter days, it will help to know that our praryers are helping you<P>To all of you out there, God Bless<P>
