I Don’t Even Like Him—How Can I Pray for Him?
Have you ever been so mad at your husband that the last thing you wanted to do was pray for him? So have I. It’s hard to pray for someone when you’re angry or he’s hurt you.
But that’s exactly what God wants us to do. If He asks us to pray for our enemies, how much more should we be praying for the person with whom we have become one and are supposed to love? But how do we get past the unforgiveness and critical attitude?
Honest with God
The first thing to do is be completely honest with God. In order to break down the walls in our hearts and smash the barriers that stop communication, we have to be totally up front with the Lord about our feelings. We don’t have to “pretty it up” for Him. He already knows the truth. He just wants to see if we’re willing to admit it and confess it as disobedience to His ways. If so, He then has a heart with which He can work.
Power of Praying Wife
If you’re angry at your husband, tell God. Don’t let it become a cancer that grows with each passing day. Don’t say, “I’m going to live my life and let him live his.” There’s a price to pay when we act entirely independently of one another. “Neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 11:11).
Instead say:
“Lord, nothing in me wants to pray for this man. I confess my anger, hurt, unforgiveness, disappointment, resentment, and hardness of heart toward him. Forgive me and create in me a clean heart and right spirit before You. Give me a new, positive, joyful, loving, forgiving attitude toward him. Where he has erred, reveal it to him and convict his heart about it. Lead him through the paths of repentance and deliverance. Help me not to hold myself apart from him emotionally, mentally, or physically because of unforgiveness. Where either of us needs to ask forgiveness of the other, help us to do so.
If there is something I’m not seeing that’s adding to this problem, reveal it to me and help me to understand it. Remove any wedge of confusion that has created misunderstanding or miscommunication. Where there is behavior that needs to change in either of us, I pray You would enable that change to happen. As much as I want to hang on to my anger toward him because I feel it’s justified, I want to do what You want. I release all those feelings to You. Give me a renewed sense of love for him and words to heal this situation.”
A Challenge
If you feel you’re able, try this little experiment and see what happens. Pray for your husband every day for a month using each one of the 30 areas of prayer I’ve included in this book. Pray a chapter a day. Ask God to pour out His blessings on him and fill you both with His love. See if your heart doesn’t soften toward him. Notice if his attitude toward you doesn’t change as well. Observe whether your relationship isn’t running more smoothly.
If you have trouble making that kind of prayer commitment, think of it from the Lord’s perspective. Seeing your husband through God’s eyes—not just as your husband, but as God’s child, a son whom the Lord loves —can be a great revelation. If someone called and asked you to pray for his or her son, you would do it, wouldn’t you? Well, God is asking.
There is a time for everything, as it says in the Bible. That’s never more true than in marriage, especially when it comes to the words we say. There is a time to speak and a time not to speak, and happy is the man whose wife can discern between the two.
Pray Rather Than Say
Anyone who has been married for any length of time realizes that there are things that are better left unsaid. A wife has the ability to hurt her husband more deeply than anyone else can, and he can do the same to her. No matter how much apology, the words cannot be erased. They can only be forgiven and that’s not always easy. Sometimes anything we say will only hinder the flow of what God wants to do, so it’s best to, well, shut up and pray.

• 10 Things Praying for Your Husband Does for You (the Wife)
• 30 Days of Praying for Your Husband
Filed under: For Married Women Spiritual Matters
(USA) I found this online and I had to share it. It is from a Franciscan Benediction…
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
How is God blessing you?
(USA) I have stumbled across this site tonight and decided to say something. I am having a very hard time in my marriage. I recently read N. Missler’s "Why Should I Be the First to Change?" and have tried to implement that basic idea of being the first to change. I have seen some improvement, probably only in that our arguments don’t last as long because I catch myself and apologize sooner. My relationship with the Lord has certainly changed since things have gotten worse. I have become active in seeking a quiet time, and have a desire to learn. I am praying regularly. The enemy sure knows how to discourage me, and I fail so often. I feel like I carry the weight of my marriage on my own shoulders. There is no way my husband would pray with me on a regular basis. I often wonder about his own salvation anyway, only because there has been little or no fruit since our marriage began 4 years ago.
I suspect my husband of continuing his pornography addiction. I never imagined MY marriage would hurt me this badly. DH is emotionally unstable, up and down all the time. I am not sure what I hoped to see others say, and I don’t know what else to say. I will continue to pray, because it is the only thing I can do.
(KENYA) Ladies, I would like to share the below, this shows we are not alone in this world;
10 REASONS TO HOPE WHEN YOU ARE HURTING
1. God is truly in control
2. There is an eternal life to come
3. The story isn’t finished yet
4. God hasn’t given up on you. Don’t give up on Him
5. There is a likely purpose in our pain
6. You are loved
7. Your prayers are heard
8. You are not facing this alone
9. Others have made it through – you can too
10. Reach out to someone else who is struggling.
In prayer, expect setbacks but refuse retreat. Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how great your Lord is. God bless you all mightily and may He watch all over you and provide for your needs and the desires of your heart always. Love you all, Royal
(USA) Kath, If you read back a ways you’ll be able to read what I have been struggling with through my husband’s addiction to pornography. There is actually a really great resource on this site and an entire section dedicated to sexual issues and pornography. I really suggest you read some of it. I really found so much of the information helpful (and I am not just saying that).
Some of the things that are going on in your marriage now that your husband does that, makes you feel neglected and some reasons why he may be unaffectionate are in that section. When you read some of the articles in there you’ll be like DUH! That makes complete sense. It’s not only comforting but it can help give you some information on how to confront this issue the right way (believe me there is a wrong way and I used it). It can also help you to understand what is going on with your husband.
Your marriage is feeling fruitless because of a porn addiction. I can definitely understand that. When your husband has a sex addiction or pornography addiction, it affects every aspect of a marriage and it is wrong. The Lord tells us that when you lust after another, your heart has already committed adultery. The world tells us that is ok but it’s not ok. Don’t let anyone tell you that it "just porn" because it not to be made light of. It’s adultery and it hurtful, and it’s a sin against God. That’s not going overboard that’s the truth!
I really suggest you read a few of those articles, they are very good. Let me also tell you this, addiction is a life long struggle, and once someone’s been addicted to something (someone) then the devil will always use what they were addicted to as a temptation. Do what you need to in order to protect your family, your marriage, and your heart against the devil. I’ll be praying for ya girl, my heart has the same scars. Love ya. Love, LYNNE
(CANADA) Hey ladies hope you’re all ok. I’m doing fine after I last wrote. I still battled and still couldn’t pray because of my guilt and shame. Lynne, thanks for the Bible verse. I read it today morning and it hit me so hard considering all that I’ve done. Jesus has forgiven me and I can’t forgive. Anyway, I prayed a lot and cried a lot to God and was really honest with Him about how I truly feel. I also asked Him to show me how to completely forgive. I spent time with Him and I felt better.
i also asked Him if I should confess to my husband what I’ve been going through because I don’t want to give satan any room to get to me. Continue praying for me and asking God to show me how to forgive and to give me His love in my heart. I need you all. I honestly can’t do this without you. Thanks a lot.
Lynne, how you doing and how did things go? I’ll remember you in my prayers. It has been hard for me to pray but I’ll get down on my knees for you Lynne and all the rest. Thank you all so much and God bless you all. Love, Anne
(SOUTH AFRICA) Hi Everyone. I just want to thank Marriage Missions, Cindy and her husband and everybody that has been praying for me, Lynne, LT and everyone else. Thanks for being there for me when I was at my lowest point in my life. You all do not know what your encouragement has done for me and your prayers, I thank God for all of you.
I am still going through a lot but I have discovered that God is in control. I am not saying that it is easy it is not, but I console myself with those words everyday, God is in control. My ex-husband’s wife is giving birth soon and do you all know what? God has brought him to a point where he is asking me questions about labor and things about rubbing out the baby. And no matter how hard it is for me I answer it even if my flesh is screaming against it.
I want to obey the Spirit of God because I am asking God to change me towards this situation and not to change the situation. I am praying and asking God to change my heart towards everybody that has hurt me and is still hurting me, no matter how my flesh wants to hurt them. I am doing my utmost to deny myself that because planting bad seeds, produces bad fruit and God says in his word Deuteronomy 3:22, “Do not fight because I the Lord will fight for you.”
So I am just praying for all of them and asking God to save their souls and to bless them. Believe it is very hard to do that, but God is in control. Some of you may say that I am strong, but it is not me operating here, I am nothing without God, nothing at all, He is my strength, He wakes me up each and everyday, that is a blessing on its own.
I still struggle with a lot. I am only human, but God is in control and I stand on God’s promises in His word… Isaiah 60:20 and 2 Chronicles 20:17. God is good, awesome, great, love and marvelous. He is my Daddy and my Daddy owns the heavens and the earth and I am the daughter of the King of Kings.
Be blessed everybody, I love you all… I am still praying for you.
Something else that God laid on my heart to write, think about this. We pray and ask God to forgive us, to help us to forgive whoever hurt us, BUT do we ask Him to help us to forgive ourselves? Ladies and Gentlemen we must forgive ourselves, we tend to blame ourselves for a lot, for most of the things that go wrong in our marriages. But do we forgive ourselves? Look in the mirror and ask yourself, did I forgive you? Because God forgave you all. Love you all. Leonie
(USA) Ladies, Good Morning. Leonie, that last part of what you said is so true and I need to do it. Thank you so much. Pray for me to work on that, there’s a lot I have to forgive myself for yet. I pray for your Spirit Leonie. I pray that the Lord keeps you and protects you Amen!
Anne, I am doing ok. Thank you so much for asking. My husband and I have been in ok shape now. I was baptized and we baptized our son as well. And in doing so, my husband made a profession of faith. Well the devil hit us hard, and tried to destroy us and our marriage. And he almost did, but thankfully the Lord stepped in and is working on our hearts.
Please pray that He continues to do so for us. We are not quite healed from the damage done. Things are getting better slowly though. That devil makes me so angry. I can’t wait to laugh at him from Heaven because he is not going to win me! I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers every morning.
Lord, Please continue to keep Leonie in Your hands. Please help her according to Your plan for her life and comfort her in despair. Lord, I life up Anne to You and I ask You to Bless her and her marriage. Lord, I ask that You show her forgiveness and teach her and I how to forgive ourselves. Lord, I ask that You bless all of these ladies marriages and I pray protection upon them from evil. May You bless and keep us all. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
(SOUTH AFRICA) Hi Everyone. I pray that you are all very blessed. I have been going through some difficult times now the past week with my ex-husband and money. I went home in the week from work and prayed about it and asked The Father to guide me in what I should do about it. Should I take him to court for maintenance or what? Last night I went to my life group meeting with that question in my heart and as I was praying in the spirit, God gave me a scripture, Psalm 37:5. I had my answer. I should just trust God and let my ex be.
This morning when I got to work I got this wonderful message on email that I want to share with all of you. Actually it was three messages. The first one is from Allworship:
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
(Note: This is an excerpt from an interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life" and Pastor of Saddleback Church in California. During the interview, Rick said:)
People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body–but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act– the dress rehearsal. God want sus to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn’t going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you’re just coming out of one, or you’re getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that’s not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys–you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don’t believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it’s kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems. If you focus on your problems, you’re going into self-centeredness, which is ‘my problem, my issues, my pain.’ But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her. It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God’s purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, ‘God, if I don’t get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.’
God didn’t put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He’s more interested in what I am than what I do.
That’s why we’re called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
The Second message is from Bill and Marsha Burns. Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns — September 23, 2008:
As you prepare to enter a new spiritual year, you can and must choose what to take with you and what to leave behind. It will benefit you to take all that you have learned through the fiery trials you have endured — the things that have enhanced your understanding and spiritual strength. And, leave behind all that has undermined your confidence and boldness in My kingdom, says the Lord, — the things that left you with feelings of condemnation and failure. It will be like sorting fruit when you keep what is good and throw out what is rotten.
Jeremiah 24:3-7 Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad." Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans.
For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart."
The third one is from Andrew and Vanessa:
Verse: Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you.
– God is with you!
– He is a mighty God there to save you!
– Don’t be afraid and don’t despair.
– God takes delight in you and has a plan for you
God Bless and be blessed. Leonie: PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR ME… I need to get out of that house.
(USA) This is my first time on this website. I remembered reading Stormie’s book, The Power of a Praying Wife many years ago so I logged on. I want to say I have been encouraged by all the comments, especially the prayer at the beginning. Ladies we are powerful and the enemy knows it. He knows our men can be more powerful when our marriages reflect the love of Christ when it is in harmony and bathed in prayer. I like what one sister said, we can’t let the devil and his imps make us give up. I agree God hates divorce, but he gives us a way out if we want it (separation, divorce if adultery was committed or if our spouse dies).
I have been on this journey for 29 years, and I am here to tell you I have had to deal with both the good and the bad of life. I was determined not to give up, and that it was to death do us part. I have had some deep hurts, I have felt alienated emotionally at times, but like today I was reminded Jesus has to be my everything, not my husband. When my problems seem overwhelming or bigger than my relationship with Christ, I know I have got to regroup, and fall in love with Jesus all over again (praying more, fasting more, reading more, and hiding God’s word in my heart).
I don’t have enough space to tell you my pains, but I can say we all have so much in common. I could see myself in so many of you and I can honestly say, prayer does change things. My husband is living proof, God can soften the hardest of hearts when he softened his heart. I have lived through at least three adulterous relationships. God gave me a way out but his love and forgiveness was so strong in me; it was God’s grace and the power of prayer that brought me through. I didn’t have women like you to talk to. I mostly kept it to myself. I had one friend who I confided in, and prayer lines.
God’s word comforts me in 1 Corinthians 10:13 – it says there hath not temptation taken us but that which is common to mankind, but God will also with the temptation make a way of escape that we can bear it. Hang in there don’t be tempted to quit, use your trial as a stepping stone to building an intimate relationship with your Savior. Our husbands can’t be our everything (we all must seek God when we think we have reached our limit). Please re-read 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.
(CANADA) Hey all. it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been ok, just the last few days that I’ve been so low but I spent my time with God and prayed for a better day today and He’s faithful coz I’m in a better mood. Lots of things have been happening. I need a prayer request, my sis-in law is going through marriage problems and they are leaning towards divorce. Pray for them to find healing.
I got a little bit scared there for a while and the enemy got the opportunity to feed into those thoughts. I got this fear coz I realised that my in-laws (mum and sis) are divorced and thought, wow, we would have been too if God hadn’t revealed so may things that saved my marriage. I need prayers to end this cycle of divorce in the family.
I read about divorce from Stormie Omartian’s book PRAYING THROUGH THE DEEPER ISSUES OF MARRIAGE and I cried to God to protect my marriage from that word ever being said again. I refuse to let the enemy destroy this. My mother-in-law had told my husband that having affairs had become a family curse coz both her children had them, and her ex-husband too.
All those things made me realise that I had to put an end to all this through prayer. I do feel better now coz I really prayed and I know God is always faithful. I need you all to pray for me to never let these fears and thoughts get to me coz that’s all the devil’s way of discouraging me.
Thank you all and miss you all. Lynne, how you doing? And how’s your cousin? Leonie, LT, how are you both doing? Toni, thanks a lot for your testimony. Love you all. God bless.
(USA) Hi Ladies Good Morning, Anne, I am so glad that you are praying though this chain and it will break. I just prayed for it too.
Things with me have been ok, but it’s better than being bad. My husband and I still have a lot of healing to do, but with God’s help we will heal. My husband is just distant and doesn’t really spend time with our family. I pray that will change. Other than that I can’t really complain. How is everyone else doing? Leonie How is everything with you? I pray for all my ladies for the mission and Toni you too.
Has anyone heard from LT? LT, did you have that baby yet? :)
I love ya ladies and I’ll write when I have some more time. Love, Lynne
PS. Anne, My cousin is doing well but is constantly battling (as are we all). Please continue praying protection over her? Thank you for asking and praying, Love ya.
(USA) Hi All, Sorry I’ve been REALLY overwhelmed with personal circumstances the last few weeks and months. Please know I’m not purposely trying to ignore any of you – I keep up with all the comments as much as I can. (I don’t miss many).
Thanks so much for asking after me!!
The verbal abuse was getting more and more serious and over the summer I had to pray and fast and make a REAL commitment/decision making process on what the Lord wanted in my response to the situation. The culmination (the real low point) was at a point where my husband actually threatened my life and the life of my unborn child. At that point, I knew things needed to be addressed in a proactive way.
The verbal abuse continued on (weekly, sometimes more than once a week) and it was to the point that it was affecting my pregnancy to where the stress was giving me contractions and I started becoming VERY concerned about a preterm/premature labor if I couldn’t get myself to a home where peace abides. Also – as a woman, not having the emotional security and emotional safety that most people associate with a healthy marriage (and knowing I do not have that), I found myself succumbing to serious episodes of depression and suicidal thoughts. I found someone to stay with for a few weeks because I knew my environment was just not healthy or conducive to being in a well-balanced state, but it was compounded by the fact of being pregnant and having to worry for more than just myself. God does charge me with that, after all, responsibility for my kids.
When I left and stayed elsewhere for a few weeks I found tremendous peace and the most miraculous, divine experience happened. I actually had the spiritual experience of being loved and "in love" with God. Living with someone who devalues you tends to make you doubt the reality of love in general so God restored that to me (or I guess I should say gave it to me for the first time, as a concept). I found renewed clarity.
I arranged for a marriage intensive for my husband and me. I returned home a few days before the intensive and we recently came back. It was very helpful but there is still a lot of work to do. But I’ve got safety plans in place, I’ve got great network of support people and I take things one day at a time.
The future is in the Lord’s hands. I have no idea if He will push to bring my marriage to a true reflection of Godly love or not, but I give every day and every decision to Him and that’s all I can do. My spiritual core and strength (which was almost non-existent a few years ago) have REALLY improved and so that is the upside of this whole set of experiences.
Please pray for me and for my husband’s well-being as well as our spiritual and emotional health. I want to recommend a book to you that has helped me tremendously. It was referred to me by a professional Christian counselor – it is called "Foolproofing Your Life," by Jan Silvious.
I’m due in about 4 weeks by the way. Please pray for my labor. I’m undecided whether or not I want my husband to be present. The emotional state of our marriage (the trust and safety factor) is VERY shaky and I’m taking it one day at a time for the next 4 weeks. If he still represents instability and intimidation to me by the time I go into labor, I will ask him not to be present. I will need my emotional and mental strength to go through labor and because of our past and his recent words, he does not represent safety to me.
We will see…..but God is with me and us all! With love, LT
(USA) LT, Girl I am praying hard for you, and your family. I cant stand the devil. he keeps messing around in my marriage to. I have had it with and I rebuke him. LT, the Lord will take care of you and your children, and your husband. You are doing the right thing by placing your family in the Lord’s hands. Just keep trusting HIM and everything will fall into place. I hope that your husband can regain some trust and I know that he will as soon as the LORD completely fills his heart.
Dear God, Please protect us from the devil’s attacks on our marriages? I pray protection over all of our children from harm, and the infant being carried by LT? Lord, I ask that You restore our husbands so that they may bring glory to You and be men of honor? I ask that You help make us to be wives that bring You glory and that we can raise our families in You, and lastly I ask for Your comfort on our soles? May we not be weary and completely trust You? In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy spirit I ask, Amen.
Love Ya. Love, LYNNE
(USA) Hey ladies, Good afternoon. I hope that all of you are doing well. I was just thinking about some of you and said a quick prayer for all of ya. How is everyone doing? My life has been pretty crazy lately and my marriage has been the same. Thankfully things have been getting better recently. God is at work in myself and my husband.
I realized something about myself recently. I am realizing that I am holding on to hurt. When I feel hurt by my husband, I am holding on to it, and letting in fester into anger. I guess it’s because when I try to explain my feelings (especially hurt) to my husband he adapts my feeling or it turns into an argument. Needless to say that there isn’t any comfort. There used to be and we used to be able to tell each other anything. If you ladies could pray for me to be able to let go of hurt and before I let it manifest into anger I would really appreciate it.
I don’t know why the enemy is attacking me in this way right now but it’s really hard for me. I sometimes don’t even realize how far I’ve let myself go when I am hurting. Thank you so much ladies and any advice you may have is very welcomed. I understand that I have the right to be upset when I am hurting and sometimes I can be too sensitive but how can I tell the difference and how can I put that behind me especially when my husband is trying to make it up to me?
Case and point: we had a date scheduled and he blew me off for his brother and friends. Then after I was extremely upset he cleaned the entire house as an apology but I was still so upset that I didn’t even appreciate it. How can I put that hurt aside and recognize the good? My husband really is a good man and sometimes he does terrible things but I know that he loves me.
Sometimes I think I am just so oversensitive that I don’t feel loved when I should. Please pray for me?
Love, Lynne
PS. LT, How are you doing sweetie? I am still praying for you and your family. Is everyone else doing well? Love you all.
(CANADA) Hi all. It’s been a while since I last wrote. I just decided to write so that for all of you who were there for me during my issues with my husband and the others out there who all prayed and cried with me, to thank God for all His blessings. Things are really getting even better. My husband planned a romantic getaway this past weekend for my birthday and the sad thing is when I got on my knees to thank God I felt bad coz I realised how small I had made God. I had never imagined that things would be this great.
I asked God to forgive me because I felt ashamed for not trusting Him enough. All I heard at that time was God speaking to me and telling me that all He wanted was for me to completely trust in Him, and that just made me cry. All in all the greatest miracle that has come our way is that as of Sunday Nov 2nd. My husband and I started to pray together. Isn’t God great?
Please give God all the praise He deserves. I know I’ll still need and still do need you all because marriages are not perfect. But I feel that with God’s guidance we’re headed the right way. Thanks a lot and God bless. For all of you going through stuff, I know what it’s like. Please don’t give up. God is the answer.
Lynne, I am sorry for what you’re going through. I read your post on the other message and I’ll pray for you so hard. Love you gal. Don’t give up hope. Find your hope from God. Thank you all, and God bless.
