I dont even know where to start but I need prayers lifted for me Tomasa and my family. I have been with my husband Steven for a little over 10 years. We have 3 little ones ages 8, 4, and 2. My heart is aching cause I found out he cheated with another girl for the past 2 months. We’re in our late 30s and the other girl is 18 years old, has a small child and lives with her parents. This not only crushed me but my kids. My oldest is very hurt and angry cause he chose to spend time with her and her kid and not his own. I’m lost; I still love this man. I was completely blindsided… Please help us, I want my family back.
Praying that you, the children and your husband are able to continue to grow in love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins and always wins. However, your husband needs to be accountable- truly repent for his affair, seek to repair his relationship with you and your children and stay away from this other woman and her child. Praying that you and your children forgive him and work with him as he makes the necessary changes to win back your trust and love. Let God have your pain and comfort you, grieve as you need to and allow others to help you through this. Keep your heart open so it doesn’t grow bitter and you will see God work this out for the good of you and your family.
Tomasa, my heart is breaking for you. I am in a very similar situation at the moment and I understand the feelings you are having. I will pray that you find the strength and courage needed to get through this. I pray that your husband truly has a repentant heart and that he does everything he can to mend the brokenness that this affair has caused. I know you are feeling lost, scared, angry, hurt and confused. Please know that you are not responsible for the choices “he” made and do not blame yourself. You will get through this! ❤️
Please pray for my husband & I. I believe he is having a mid life crisis which may have been sparked by my ignoring his needs… I love my husband and truly desire to spend the rest of our lives together. He loves me but is uncertain what he wants, on a daily basis. Please pray for his barriers to come down & for clarity for him and us. Pray for God to bestow remarkable, gentle grace on us, to cover us.. Amidst the hurt and anger, I truly love him & would cherish our reconnecting. He is very angry, hurt, and really doesn’t know what he wants to do.. He has very conflicting emotions and often has mood swings.
Praying for you and your husband to have meaningful conversations in which you forgive past hurts, devise ways to make God and your marriage a priority, determine the best actions ghat make you both feel loved and valued and in doing so feel more connected and the level of intimacy grows. Praying that as you both grow in being vulnerable with one another, you are rewarded with a deeper and powerful love ghat honors God and stands the rest of time.
Will you pray for the marriage of Paul and Carol in Ireland. I am not advocating divorce and remarriage. But we were both married before to others and after divorce married each other. So we are in our second marriage. I feel that 1 Cor7v27to28 are good verses to help with this complex topic. Our Pastor believes that our marriage is binding and not sin. However some times I can struggle with assurance. We have repented of past mistakes and our heart goes out to all who walk through this. The word loosed in both instances above means divorced. But needs to be applied in context. Will you pray for the blessing of our marriage and that we love respect and treat each other as God wills and commands us to and for the assurance we at times both need. If you want would you send a short email to confirm you have this and even with a word you feel would help. Thank you Paul.
Paul- This is spiritual warfare and the enemy is trying to make you feel ill-equipped. But you have all you need for the fight, especially with prayer, the word of God and His presence (Ephesians 6:10-18). Do not let the enemy rob you of the joy of a second chance …these nagging thoughts are like the little foxes that destroy the vines (Songs of Solomon 2:15). It is the enemy’s job to kill, steal and destroy because he is the father of lies/confusion/chaos (John 10:10; John 8:44). But God is faithful. He has forgiven you and will give you a rich and abundant life if the two of you stay rooted in Him (1 John 1:9, John 10:10; John 15:4). So continue to trust Him with your life and marriage, for as you delight in Him and trust Him you will be blessed (Psalm 37:4-5; Proverbs 3:5-6). These are verses you know and they are always true. Stand firm on God’s word. You will win the battle!
My husband and I have been married for one year. Upon getting married to him I was in a very mentally abusive relationship. He knew this. The house that we live in is the house that my ex and I lived and it needed total renovations. The man I am married to has come in and completely renovated this house to where we can sell it and make a little money. We did it together. But in the process of renovations there has been turmoil and pain. He has told me that he thought I was going to have him fix the house and then ask him to leave. He did not trust me.
I love this man with all my heart and we believed God brought us together. He wants to leave. Every time there’s been an argument, he has left and been away from me for days at a time, trying to find answers to the fighting and if we should go on as a couple. We love each other, I believe we do, but he is scared. He fears the future, he hates the fighting and so do I.
Please pray. I don’t want him to hurt anymore and I don’t want the pain either. When we talk and live without this house stuff, we are good. But if it’s God‘s will, I will go ahead and I will be OK but I don’t really want to be without this man. He’s been married a few times so he doesn’t want to get his heart broken and he said that the fighting over this house has caused turmoil, financial situations and pain for both of us.
We fought over the house. Not Us, not budgets, not anything but this house. Neither of us like being in it. It is a constant reminder of my past. I/We need your prayers and God’s answer to what to do and I could use some answers to how I am supposed to act, I shut down and he leaves. I can’t stop him from leaving the marriage. I’ve asked for counseling and he has agreed but he’s also said it would do no good. I see the pain he is in, but I’m in the same pain. If it is God’s will, I will go on, but if it’s God‘s will for us to be together, I believe it was God’s love that brought us as one, I will trust in that love that God has for both of us. I’m asking for prayers and guidance.
Debbie, praying that you and your husband make a firm commitment to God and yourselves to stay married and stop considering separation/divorce as an option. You cannot be lukewarm about the matter – you have to be all in or the enemy will take advantage of the loop hole. You both already know what will give you peace about the house, so move forward with your plans asking God to bless you in the process. Also praying that the two of you will work together on how you want to resolve disagreements and if need be seek help/godly counsel on how to work through this so that your marriage is stronger and conflicts are dealt with instead of avoided. And that you will both work through the issues from your past that are causing you pain and keeping you stuck. You have been given another chance at love, cherish it and fight for it. You have all you need to make your marriage work- keep Jesus as your foundation and you will make it. Praying that the years being the two of you closer together and your marriage honors God.
If you would, please pray for Matthew and Ivi. They have been married for 16 years, have 3 children in the early teens and she wants a divorce. There a lot of hurt between them. The issues between them stem from a lot of childhood issues which they never dealt with. No physical infidelity or abuse is involved but emotional and mental infidelity as well as I’m the victim, and lack of forgiveness is present.
Praying that you and Ivi deal with the issues head on by whatever means that will bring you closer to God and each other. Praying that the two of you will create an environment where you can talk through your issues, hurts, needs and hopes for the future with one another and/or seek the help of your pastor or a counselor. The two of you have so much to look forward to and if you could stay together for 16 years, you can make it with the grace of God. Divorce robs you of your future – fight for your marriage and the experiences that are yet to come. Praying that the two of you make a commitment to stay together and focus on the good.
