Sent to us from someone in Canada: I have been experiencing God’s heavy hand of conviction concerning the mistakes I have made with my husband and in my marriage. I left a very good man and walked away from the covenant I made with him in which I now have deep sorrow, regret and remorse for doing so. I never fought for my marriage… all I ever did was run run whenever things got stirred up. I put everything and everyone ahead of my husband. I thought I was always right and he was always wrong. I painted an ugly picture of him to justify the ugliness in me. It was always ME… and the baggage I have carried.
I couldn’t see that until the Holy spirit revealed it to me. Now I’ve lost him as he said he’ll never trust me again. When I asked God to really search my heart and meant it this time, He showed me things about myself that were not pretty. I wasn’t even aware of any of them until He showed me. I was quick to see the flaws in my husband but was completely blindsighted to mine. I am broken beyond words but the Lord is revealing to me every corner of my heart. I realize now how wrong I’ve been for hurting my husband. I’m asking God for a miracle… to soften his heart and allow me back into his life. We both need healing. Please pray for restoration and reconciliation.
Dear Lord, please help my strained marriage. My husband cheats on me and each time I confront him, he goes angry and says so many bad things to me like he does not want me anymore, to pack out and refuses meal etc. I have 3 cute kids with him. I love him despite his faults. Please, make him realize his sins and bring him back home and also give me a forgiving heart to trust him again. Please God, save my marriage because it is frustrating.
I would like prayer for my marriage. The Lord knows all. I give it fully to him.
Please pray for me to get over my wife. She has recently cheated on me and moved a man in my home while I was at work off shore. Thanks
Please be in prayer as my wife has recently decided that sexual intimacy is not important in a marriage. She stated that she doesn’t need it. This has been very hurtful and damaging to me because 6 months ago, we were having great intimacy, now she has decided to re-define it to say it’s not needed for her any longer. As a husband/father becoming more intimate with a relationship with Christ, I’m at a total loss and confusion for our marriage. I’ve been praying that my wife would come to the understanding of Christ’s intimacy and love for us and how it should be in our marriage, including the physical aspect.
My wife and I have been married 22 1/2 years. This past summer my wife informed me she doesn’t love me and “wants out!” To me this came out of the blue. She had been processing this for a long time. I know I have a large part to play in this and God has been making me new.
I’ve been trying to figure out the underlying issue in our marriage and remembered my wife had mentioned, even before our wedding, she had been sexually abused as a child. She played it down at the time, and I had no idea of the ramifications of sexual abuse. That was 24 years ago and lay-people didn’t know what we know now.
I don’t know how to bring it up to her now, but know the abuse is playing out in our marriage now. Please pray it will somehow be brought up in the best way, at the best time. And that she will be open to addressing it.
This is one of my favorite quotes. Hopefully it can help you and your wife.
“It is the destiny of men and women to join together to make eternal family units. In the context of lawful marriage, the intimacy of sexual relations is right and divinely approved. There is nothing unholy or degrading about sexuality in itself, for by that means men and women join in a process of creation and in an expression of love” (President Spencer W. Kimball Speaks Out, 2).
Please pray for me that I will respond as Christ would have me to as I walk through my life challenges right now. Please also pray for my emotional, physical, financial and spiritual healing. My husband and I have been married for over 5 years. We are now separated.
During the entire marriage he was emotionally abusive and refuses to honor and respect me as his wife. His biological son hit me, and his response was nonchalant as almost to reward him for he simply said, ‘you shouldn’t have done that’ and sent him to play his game. No punishment of any sort and we have punished our son in the past for less offensive actions.
He has put me down in front of his son. He refused to take me to the emergency room when I told him I thought I was having a heart attack. I’ve experienced great neglect and cruelty at the hands of the man who made vows to “honor and cherish’ me. He is also an ordained music of minister but his lifestyle does not show godly fruit behind close doors.
His emotional abuse escalated to physical assault, and I immediately separated from him. However, the injustice continues as I had to move out the house with my mom and am unemployed and basically starting from scratch. Please pray that I forgive as the Bible commands and I walk in the love of God towards him. I have also experienced other betrayals right along with this one. Pray that God will open the right financial doors and I can be all that God has called me to be in Christ Jesus!
I don’t believe in divorce, so my status is to remain separated. I am thankful that I did not have a child with him. However, after I press charges for domestic abuse against him, he immediately started the divorce proceedings.
My husband has been gone for nearly 3 months. He says that he loves me but that we fought too much. There also seems to be financial issues with his company. He says we have to divorce. I love him and have been praying and reading the Bible to be a better person. I believe that we can handle the financial problems together.
I don’t want a divorce. I want him to come back home. Please pray for our marriage. I feel as if I’m standing alone.
You are never alone! Abba father is always with you. Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Father, you know who I am by name, you know my heart, & you know my trials. Father, you know my husband by name, & our beautiful little girl. Father, I pray you allow your divine wisdom over me Lord, and you allow my family to be whole. You know what’s best for us God, and that keeps me steady in my faith. I pray God to heal our family… Amen.
Married for almost 27 years and separated for 8 months. I love my spouse unconditionally and I don’t want to divorce him. I’m a Christain and he’s not. Pray that God will save him and restore our marriage. I’m fighting every way I know to fight.
I’ve been with my husband for 17 years, 11 married. He has always had excuses for sex and has alway preferred work just like his father, like an addiction. I always had to be the initiator. I’m tired of feeling neglected and unloved.
I pray in Jesus name that our marriage be healed. That my husband’s sexuality be healed in this very moment. That I forgive all the neglect and that my anger and depression does not consume me anymore! Help me! Please! I ask for a miracle. I have two children. I love my husband but my hope is on its last leg. He needs to know he must satisfy his wife and love her the way way God intended. I’m feeling depressed and frustrated. I pray God will guide him to check his testosterone and get the right therapy or doctor he needs. The same for me, I ask God to transform me and to give me the correct antidepressant. I’m overwhelmed with pain, Lord.
Pray for us. I want joy and peace and true love in my marriage. I want to fall in love with my husband. I want a restored and renewed marriage with my husband. Please God!
Please pray that me and my husband James will be reunited as God has given us to each other. My husband is home after being separated but says he only wants to be friends. I love my husband with all my heart, I know that God brought us together for a purpose and we strayed but need to be reunited as he as given us to each other. I do my best every day to be strong and have hope, but there are days when I falter. Please pray that my husband will lower the shroud around his heart and open it to me, his wife, once again so we may be a family again together. Thank you my friends in faith
Please pray for my family and myself (we have 1 son). We’re going through a difficult season and finding it hard to communicate in a peaceful, loving way. We have people interfering in our relationship and telling us how to raise our son and it’s all getting a bit much, hearing these negative words spoken over my son who has only turned 6, because he isn’t performing to a level that my mother in law expects.
I pray in Jesus name that this will stop and God will keep me fix on him and drown out these negative voices and to forgive quickly. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
My prayer request is for God to help me make a way out of the relationship with my Muslim boyfriend if we’re not meant to be. I’ve been on and off with him ever since we broke up on Jan 1st 2013. He had proposed to me and my parents had rejected him. He insulted them and me. We then separated for a while. We got back together twice before this time when we got back in October 2014. He seems genuine, but I have no trust anymore.
I seem to have a soft spot for him but now I don’t think I can go all the way to go against my parents again. The first time I did move in with him he chased me from his house since we were cohabiting. So now I need God’s intervention to save me from him and to break the chains that bind us together so that we may go our separate ways and so that he may understand when the time comes to let this relation go since I am scared of him harming me.
(The following came to us through email and we ask you to join us in praying for this precious woman named Bettie.) I would like to ask you for prayer for myself?? I have been a widow for 11 years. I don’t drink or smoke. I am a quiet person. I have asked GOD to send me a husband. I have asked for a Godly husband. I have prayed for many years. I long to be hugged and having company, to share in His Word. Today I feel, why carry on living if God does not hear and answer my prayers. Is he not interested in me? 11 yrs is a long time. Thank you for reading my letter. I have had enough of being alone. Love from Bettie.
