The last 9 years my ex-wife has made no effort to get back together. I keep praying but I’m not sure if God wants us to get back together. My name is Rick and I’m 69 years old.
Praying that she has a change of heart and gives you another chance. Also praying that you will continue to live life to the fullest – trusting God that He has great plans for you and live in a way that honors Him.
I am in a relationship and have really messed up. I have repented and apologized. I need him to choose to forgive me or at least to talk to me about it. I really need God to intervene. Relationships are so difficult and I really love this man. I am hurt and he isn’t talking to me. I need him to realize in his heart that he can trust me. I am truly sorry!
I feel like he is waiting for something, but I don’t know what that is. I need God to let me know what he is waiting for and I desperately need God to speak to his heart, soften his heart and to heal and reconcile us. God knows my heart and He knows my situation. Please agree with me in prayer for us to reconcile. I need God to protect me and direct me in my time or waiting. Thank you!
Praying that you will trust God with your future – that you will continue to move forward and doing what is right. Praying that you give this gentleman time and grace to process all that has happened and he responds in love and with grace…and no matter what happens between the two of you, you accept it. Praying that if this is the relationship/marriage God has for you, everything will work out, but if not- you accept the the lessons learned and do your best to honor God in your next relationship.
Please pray for reconciliation to happen between me and my wife. I am giving my marriage to the Lord and he can fix anything that’s been broken over the years. I am working on changing myself but my wife is done with working out the relationship. Thank you so much.
Praying that your wife will seek God and let Him soften her heart so that you can both make the changes you need for your marriage to thrive. Praying that you don’t give up but keep believing and trusting God for better and more and experience more of His love and grace each day.
My husband suffered a TBI and our marriage is declining a year after. I don’t know what to do or how to do it.
Praying for you as a caregiver and his health and well-being. Also praying that you don’t isolate yourself but that you’re able to get the support and help you both need as you transition and adapt to your new way of living. May you continue to trust God and experience Him, His love, grace and mercy in new ways that transform the both of you and your marriage.
Please uphold my marriage at this time we are struggling please pray for restoration and healing and forgiveness as we try to move forward. Please pray for wisdom and direction for our marriage.
Praying that you will both trust God to lead and guide you-allowing yourselves to fully go through the process of healing, experiencing all the ups and downs, but get stronger by the day. May what seems hopeless and dark, become a pathway to greater intimacy and a stronger bond that allows your marriage to thrive and prosper.
Please pray for my husband and our marriage. We have been married for 33 years and he tells me I am the problem in the marriage. He will not take any responsibility. I want to save my marriage.
Praying that he will recognize that the marriage is made of the two of you becoming one and that the marriage is “your problem together.” However, until he gets to that point, praying that he will submit to God and let Him lead and guide him in doing all he can to on his end to “fix the problems you’re causing.” May you not give up, but keep trusting God and become more like Him so you can give your all to making your marriage all that He would have it to be.
I need prayer that the Lord shows me how to truly honor and respect my wife. I know I can be domineering, controlling and down right ugly to her in how I speak to her as a parent scolding a child instead of as my wife, my helpmate, an equal partner. I need God to fill me with His love so I can truly honor and love my wife as He has called me to on a daily basis. I need God’s power to enable me to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger and to express my love for my wife through the way I talk to her, treat her and see her. I need to truly represent Christ to her.
Praying that you will continue to grow in Christ and take in more of His character so that you can be more kind, gentle and loving with your wife. And if necessary seek counseling to learn how to deal with your triggers, reframe your thinking and change your story.
Heavenly Father, please soften my wife’s heart and let love for me grow there. Please help her to see what you say in your word about not giving up on each other. Please let her see I am faithful and true and would do almost anything to save our marriage. Please let her see some good in me, somewhere. Please surround her with good counsel who would help her see the truth, and block those who contradict Your word and say it is okay and no big deal to divorce. Thank you for the support this site gives us. Please reconcile us. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Amen! Adding our prayers to yours for Kate’s well-being and soul and the restoration of your marriage. Keep believing and trusting God, we’ll continue to support you in this! We love you, Andrew and are inspired by your faith in God!!!
I’ve been separated since 8/2021. My marriage has been dysfunctional and not a priority for my husband. I’ve been a Christian though since 1/1990, just after we married 9/1989. My husband is a good man but never left his mom and dad, worked for the family and worked with the uncle who both molested him as a child and who is the reason for my husband being born deaf.
Bitterness and anger, isolation, distraction and complaining regularly about it all was the norm. My husband was oblivious to hurt I felt from him telling me over 20 years ago that he only married me bc he felt sorry for me and only cared about the kids. Though verbal abuse was not even remotely the norm, he didn’t prioritize us. He was often present … always willing to help… but also complained. We hadn’t even shared a room since 2004 or 2005. No hand holding or hugs. No intimacy since 10/2003. God was my priority and unfortunately sometimes our kids even came above him. However, I always came back to Him and His Word.
The last several years there was a lot of compromise in our family. My husband started having seasons of drinking. My kids said they had no respect for him and my daughter said she felt like she didn’t have a dad. But then… a traumatized young man entered our lives. Long story very short… I did something sexual on 3 occasions. My husband won’t consider reconciliation. I’ve lost my kids both bc of what I did, especially bc of who it was with, and bc they were shown and read all of the inappropriate texts.
I have complex ptsd. I’m overwhelmed. I take care of my mom. My dad just died in January and I fractured two ribs last month. I have no employable skills. My husband did all the finances. I know nothing. I confessed when he and our kids confronted me. He says I would have continued and only confessed bc I was confronted. David did that too. I’ve been in trauma therapy and Christian counseling since September. My husband hasn’t seen anyone.
We’ve had more coffees and meals out together during this separation than during our entire marriage. His parents hate me and are rejoicing that I’ll be gone. He has no godly counsel and no friends. My hope had been that we’d live separately, go to individual counseling and marriage counseling and work thru forgiveness, build trust and show the enemy and everyone who has been against us that God is bigger and that He still does miracles… and that my husband and I would FINALLY and TOGETHER honor and serve the Lord by helping others.
Praying that you both make God your priority and foster that relationship so that you may be able to tackle the issues of your marriage individually and as a team…may you both trust God to give you the strength to ensure as you unpack the many years of trauma/hurts/pains/loneliness. May you both find that as you seek God and seek help from qualified mental health/spiritual counselors – you have enough grace for each day, are able to forgive, move towards wholeness and that your love is stronger and better than you thought. And in time, may you find that all the ashes have turned into a thing of beauty and your marriage truly honors God.
Like Job, God let the devil on me while I was still good. I compare it to Jesus taking a lamb and throwing it into a pen with wolfs who attack it. And while being attacked the lamb looks up at Jesus and cries for help but Jesus turns his back. I feel that happened to me. God eventually removed the devil from attacking Job. But he seemed to forget he put the devil on me.
Decades later at age 57 I am now covered with sin from being overwhelmed by God’s lack of presence in my life despite searching for him. Various times I gave up and my faith concluded perhaps there is no God or he just doesn’t care or has already written me off. And when I earnestly try to regain my faith and come back there is still emptiness. My life has been stagnation, loneliness, failure, broken dreams. No friends, no wife, no home of my own, scraping by financially.
No matter how hard I try supernatural blocks are placed before me to prevent progress. I’m forced to watch peers from high school gain fruit. I go on facebook and see they are married, have kids, a house, vacation while I’m still stuck behind. I even see generations pass me by as I see my siblings living large. Wonderful life milestones. I watch my brother climb up the ladder in life, marry, have kids, then see his kids graduate, get married, have kids, buy a house. Meanwhile I’m 57 years old and still stuck. I fear I will live this hellacious life only to then die and go to Hell for God seems not to be with me. What gives? Please pray God will restore the years the locust have eaten and end this horror show.
Mike, God has not forsaken or forgotten about you. Regardless of what you think or feel, He LOVES you, His son died for you! But you have to be honest with yourself – are you seeking God or things, God or the blessings? Of course, there is nothing wrong with desiring a good life, a wonderful career, a nice house, cars, wealth, a wife, children… but we all have different experiences in life. And Facebook is not going to give you the total story – you can’t even know all the hardships/trials your siblings and their children have gone through. And while it may appear everyone else is living a life of ease they aren’t! It’s just not possible; but some people handle trials and setbacks better than others.
No one gets through life without hurts/trauma/pain- but we can all get through when we seek God and only Him. Remind yourself that you are not Job and you are not having a Job experience. Tell God your frustrations and how you feel He has failed you; tell Him how disappointed you are in Him and ask Him for an abundance of His love and grace. Ask Him for His help to find more peace and joy in life.
When you honestly seek Him and His attributes you will find that other things won’t matter as much to you and you will find more contentment in your life and be happy for others and what they have. And if you’re more content – you will begin to attract some of the things you want… but if you stay in a “woe is me” mindset – you’ll be stuck. Stay prayerful, keep reading the Bible and meditating on Scriptures that are uplifting, actively engage in your church and don’t concern yourself so much with what others are doing because comparison is truly robbing you of contentment. And when it’s all said and done – this life is only a drop in the bucket – your eternal life is all that really matters!
Amen! This is God inspired–pray that Mike receives this with an open heart. If so, we have no doubt that God will show more and more love. Mike, please know that we care, but God ESPECIALLY cares and loves you more than you’ll ever know.
I’ve been married 32 years for the past 7 years, we have been on the rocks very shaky ground. My marriage is no longer of 2. My husband lies, hides and has been cheating, I believe, for this past 7 years. I’ve prayed and prayed and begged for God’s help and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. My husband only comes home to sleep because his excuse is he works all day long until the wee hours of the night.
Lord, please help me find a way. If it is your will please restore my marriage. If not give me strength and fill me with your faith.
Praying that you will continue to trust God and that You will allow Him to lead you in your decision making process. Just know that He does not want you to be abused or harmed. When praying and making your decisions – consider your safety and well-being and what will bring a peace that honors God. Fight for your marriage as long as you feel God is calling you to do so, but be safe about it (don’t put yourself at risk for diseases, mental or emotional abuse). Whatever you decide, know that God is with you- He loves you and will bring you through!
Hi,
Please pray for me and my marriage. We will be married 10 years this October. It has been filled with dozens of times of him sexting, porn, texting other women, sending naked pics of himself, and currently now a single female client he is texting back and forth all day every day pictures, intimate details of their lives, etc. I have been working with a biblical counselor so am getting the help I need – but it is scary and hurts. We have 2 children and I don’t want our family to end – but I can’t keep living with this behavior. Thank you!
Praying that your husband will recognize the evil and wrong behaviors he is engaging in and repent- that he will take responsibility for his actions, set appropriate boundaries and find an accountability partner – not suffer in silence but allow God and others to help him. That he won’t sink any deeper, but cry out for help and no matter how difficult or complicated it gets, he’ll stay on the path of recovery and overcome this sin. That he’ll take setbacks in stride and not give up. May he not destroy himself or the marriage by giving in, but fight each day to be a better man.
Praying that you’ll continue to endure and trust God with him and your future…praying for peace of mind and the ability to make the necessary decisions that will keep you and your children safe and that honor God.
Prayers that my husband Tommy and I continue to keep God first in our union. That our love for one another will continue to grow stronger and that I Rebecca will be able to pray with my husband. I struggle with praying with him. I ask that God will help me to overcome my fear. Also that we continue to stay grounded in God’s word. Thank God and I will pray for all that have requested prayers.
Praying that God will always come first and that you will love and be excited about praying in front of your husband. Remember it does not have to be a long prayer that covers everything that is on your mind/heart- it can be short. Start with – Lord, lead, guide and bless us today so that we can be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen. And I promise you that in due time, you’ll find yourself saying more and more. Many blessings to you!
I am asking for prayer for my husband, Tim. We have been separated now for nearly a year because he will not allow us to reconcile. I am desperate for some help and support, but everyone tells me to give up and end our marriage. He has neglected me for so long and caused me so much pain from so many things over the years, and my heart is severely broken from his unfaithfulness, addictions, silent treatment, neglect, lies and deceitfulness.
But, I believe very strongly in what God can do. I’m asking for prayer for my husbands salvation. For God to remove every stumbling block from his life, especially his job, which is the root of a lot of our problems, and for God to show him his wrongs against me and for restoration of our marriage. I need as much help as I can get and hope to keep going. He has made some changes, so I know God is working, but honestly my heart is so shattered from the neglect I receive, I don’t know how much more I can take.
I do not send this request lightly, as I have reached out to so many, and they have shown no interest or support. Please lift Tim up for the Holy Spirit to be working in him drawing him to God. Please pray God will remove all of those who are causing him to stumble and sin and cause his body and our marriage harm. Please pray that God will remove all who are interfering in our marriage and that every weapon satan is using against us be cast down and turned around for the good. Please pray for God to open his eyes to see me, and what he has in me.
I have been fighting this battle for nearly 19 years. I love the Lord, and believe strongly in what he can do. I love my husband and my marriage. Satan has wanted it and nearly destroyed it and my husband over the last 13 years, but I believe in what God can do and that he wants Tim saved and this marriage restored. Please lift us up in the name of Jesus. Thank you so much.
Praying that you continue to live a life that honors God and remain open to how He is leading and guiding you…may you trust Him to do what only He can do- save Tim. May Tim surrender his heart and life to God and allow his desires to be what God desires for him.
Until Tim seeks God first and gets help for his addictions, there will be no peace in your marriage. He cannot overcome his addictions on his own. Keep your focus on Tim’s salvation and healing- let God do the rest. You are doing your part… interceding, praying for yourself, fasting…trusting and believing. May God give you peace and endurance to continue to make decisions/choices that honor Him.
Pray for my wife that she falls in love with me again and communicates with me again.
Praying that the two of you will have a marriage that honors God and reflects the love of Christ.
