[KatieMac]

[Moderator's Note:This thread is the result of several previously existing threads merged into one. It exists for prayer requests related to Sarah's daughters topics.]

Tomorrow I am meeting with a girl a few years older than me who has recently filed for divorce. I am going to listen to her side of the story and hopefully come prepared with the right words to say and plenty of scripture. I have heard a little bit but no one has heard her side because she refuses to talk to anyone at her church...I really consider it a miracle that she is willing to talk to me about it. I called her not expecting anything and she called me right back! I felt that was definitly the Lord. So, please pray that the Lord would fill my mouth, and that he would lead her to be honest and receptive. If you have any scriptures you feel called to give me then please do!

This is not the same girl I was concerned about previously, this is a different situation. But it is someone else who attends my parent's church.

[Titus2:3wife]

My husband and I will pray for you and your friend tonight and tomorrow. 

[HamDiggy]

Praying KatieMac.  Encourage your friend who needs Grace - I am sure she is getting enough criticism, kwim?

[rebekahgrif]

Nothing serious.  I'm having trouble submitting in my heart to an issue between me and my husband LOL  I don't really have a choice, and I am trying to have a good atitude toward it, but I'm having a hard time with it right now. 

[Marisa]

I've been feeling convicted about praying for my marriage  (we get maybe one hour a night and one weekend day together  and lately dh seems more interested in tv than the kids and me)and was just wondering if some of you could help me with how to pray and what for.  This is what I've come up with so far.
1. Pray that I will be cheerful,reverent and submissive toward dh
2.Pray for protection of our marriage/temptation  in dh workplace

Thanks M

What a great article! Thanks so much. I'm going to copy it into my journal.

Please pray for husband....he was newly saved (or maybe he redicated his life) back in May of this year....I saw fruit/evidence of this, so I was led to believe it was a genuine conversion/rededication.  But, here lately, I've been seeing him go back to his old ways/life.....little by little, it's been getting worse.  I'm pretty sure the devil is on the prowl around here....I know he'd like nothing more than to mess up a Christians's walk.  But, I also have to say that my husband's personality in general is like this - he gets all gung-ho about something for a short time, then it sort of fizzles away into nothing.  I'm hoping this is not one of those "somethings".  I'm trying to be hopeful & supportive through all this, but I am having a hard time, so I need prayer too...I'm just so scared of everything going back to way it was.  I'm scared for me, our marraige, our kids, and most of all, for my husband's soul.

[Mrs. Davis]

I will pray for you and your husband.  For your husband that he stays focused on the Lord and backslides no more and for you that you will be gracious and patient.  (I say this because I have been ungracious and unkind when I have seen this in my dh and it causes the opposite affect of what  Iwant to see.)  Pray for him every day.  I have seen the Lord speak to my dh on things that I have worried about after I seriouslly sought Him in prayer out of LOVE for my dh.  Hang in there, sister, God is with you.

Thank you!   

Your husband's a Mr. Visionary, right? I think I've read that on another thread. I believe that Jesus Christ was a perfect blend of command, visionary, and steady. I also believe that as our husbands mature in the faith, they become more balanced. Not that I expect Christian men to loose their personality or to become all alike. It's just that as they grow, they seem to gain the ability to use all three skills.

Anyway, I say all that to say, pray that God will grow the Mr. Steady in your man. It takes a lot of steadiness to stay steadfast to the Lord. I have been grateful to see God strengthen my Mr. Visionary's steadiness. I pray that faith is not just one of your hubby's "things" that fizzles out, but instead of one of those things that he returns to over and over until his steadiness grows and his faith in simply part of who he is.

God bless you, your Mr. Visionary, and your kiddos (esp dd#1  ).

Amanda

Yes, hubby is 110% visionary.  It never occurred to me to think that their might be parts of a Steady in there, or that I should pray for the Steady part to grow.  I guess I will start doing that!

Thank you for your prayers too!

[khix]

Also...this has little to do with why I started the thread...but hubby has been out of work for 2 weeks, so please also pray that he will get back to work again soon.  Thanks!

[MomofaGoose]

Trust God! It always works! Hubby went through 8 jobs in two years. Finally he found where God wanted him and he's been there for almost 3 yrs. Prayer is powerful, and I will keep your family in mine!
*Also, learn from my mistake... Keep your attitude gracious and possitive... its much more helpful and will reduce some anxiety and stress from you hubby which might make him more motivated. Hubby told me that my constant state of stressin' out had him so stressed when he went to work that he was a total bonehead. ooops.

Thanks for this bit of advice. 

[Marisa]

removed, got an anwser

[MomofaGoose]

I removed this b/c I realized more and more, while I need your support and prayers, I need to be at peace with my husband in this, and having it posted on the internet could create in him a sense that I don't trust or believe him. Thanks all for everything.

[ladyhen]

What a lot of heartache this is for all of your family.   Praying that all of this will get sorted out and that the LORD will be able to heal all of the hurt in this.

I really haven't any advice to give you.  You are wise to be standing with your dh in this.  He no doubt needs to know that you are on his side.  Staying neutral is difficult, but wise.   It will limit the hurt and allow the truth to come out. 

As I read your post, I was reminded of one of my adult children coming to the decision that something we were doing with a teen dd was wrong, so the adult child talked to our teen dd to 'set her straight'.  This talk undid all the careful preparation and work that DH and I had done to get this dd to a certain point.  She rebelled against what had been said by sibling and we had her rebellion to deal with for several months before we were able to get back on track with the other character issue.   

That to say that, usually, a parent has insight into what is going on with their children and maturity may give them much more patience in waiting out a solution.   Your FIL and MIL also have God given authority over A.   I guess I would advise you to continue to wait this out, but also pray for your inlaw's to have wisdom and discernment here.  They need prayer, too, to communicate carefully and wisely with everyone involved.

[SC lady]

If the goal is to support your husband,
sometimes, refusing to take false accusations seriously as in --
"No one who knows you would take that seriously" and then not letting it cause upset and disruption in the home -- providing him with a haven away from the attack --
is a GREAT comfort to a man. It speaks VOLUMES about your trust and loyalty.

Also, the less you allow it to disrupt your home, the easier it will be to forgive if a false accuser later recants. I wouldn't needlessly expose myself to the accuser. Neither would I act as though I thought she were a great threat.

I'm all for turning mountains into molehills when possible
and following dh's lead in how to respond.

[MomofaGoose]

Thank you, and I'm trying.
Today the daycare told me DH came in this morning and wasn't himself, very distant and almost unfriendly... and that my daughter was mean and hateful today.. Very unusual. I told them to pray for us, that we were going through a trial but left it at that...
Tonight I am fixing his fav dinner, I picked up a few movies.... tomorrow we have plan to go see some Christmas Lights.. Family stuff...

Hi, all

I just wanted to share that my 10-yr-old daughter has been having migraines for a few years now, and they have been increasing in frequency this school year, and we are pretty sure that something at school is causing them (because she doesn't get migraines at home) and because of this (and also because I've stopped bugging my husband about it!), my husband has suggested that she be pulled out of school!  I'm cautiosuly optimistic!  This is how I feel on the inside:                          (because of what my hubby said, NOT because of my daughter's migraines!     ), but I'm trying to remain like this:     on the outside!  Anyway, just pray for God's will to be done.....and well, I'd really like for God's will to be that she is homeschooled!  I know God is in control & I am trusting Him, and I know that if He wants my daughter (and possibly my other kids?) to be homeschooled, He will make sure that it gets done (like He'll continue to work on hubby's heart, and He'll provide much-needed curriculum & material!)

[HelpmeetPlusHelpers]

What a wonderful blessing that could be! I know you are excited. The book samaritan might be able to help you get the books you need to homeschool (if you get the final go ahead, of course).

May God continue to bring about His purposes by His means! 
Praying for healing.

[In Christ]

Hey...this is silly and much of it is my own fault, but I am stressing right now.  Ds is upset, crying and sad because he was looking forward to going to play with some other kids this evening.  Dd is babysitting for a couple and they invited dh and myself to come over to this small group Bible Study, well my dh didn't want to go, he is sick of dealing with people because that's all he does at work.  I am trying to be understanding but sometimes I just want to SCREAM....
I think it would be wrong to drop ds off with dd when she is supposed to be 'working' and plus I don't know these people well...just the one couple dd works for and I tried to explain to ds that I could just leave him cuz dd was expected to watch the other kids not keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't disappear out of sight for a few minutes to "who knows where" with "who knows who" but you can't explain your concerns too well to young children...I mean who wants them to have those ideas or thoughts or visions in their mind, we want to keep them innocent, but he just doesn't understand and he just wanted to go play with the kids....As I mentioned before, we rarely, IF EVER, have company over....Dh wants everything in the house to stay like new, no scratches on hardwood or marks on walls or someone sitting on leather sofas with pen/pencil in their pocket or other sharp object...and the list goes on and on....so I can't guarantee no one will 'hurt' his possessions so I can't have anyone over....anyway....I guess I am just stressed....
I am trying to do taxes and didn't keep the best records either, and I didn't make any money so it's hard to want to do this when you really lost money anyway, ha!
I appreciate your prayers and any encouragement....I am so ill and frustrated and tired!
Thanks

[ThatKid]

I will definately pray for you.

Praying 

[SC lady]

Thank you, Father for the blessing of 7xSunday.
May we seek Your answer before our own.
May we minister to others with fear and trembling, knowing that we need Your instruction and guidance to discern what is good, true, righteous and just. Only You can see from eternity's perspective. Let us hear Your voice above the tumult of our daily lives. May we follow hard after Thee.

Father, I pray for the brethren that minister here.
May they thirst after Your truth and righteousness, searching Your word as the Bereans, never settling for less than to know You above all else. May they appoint themselves as the brave men of old, rushing onto the field of battle clothed in Your armor, for Your glory. Give them strength, discernment, wisdom and vision. As they set their hands to Your work, may it be multiplied as the fish and bread, feeding by heaven's measure.

Lord, grant them fear of You.
(Psalm 8:13-14, The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.)
In that, may they have wisdom.
(Psalm 119:10, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.)
May they learn of Thee how to teach us.
(Psalm 32:8, 9, I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.)
And may they receive Your mercy.
(Psalm 32:10, Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.)

I pray for dear sisters, Lord. Bind up the broken hearts.
(Psalm 147:3, He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.)
Dry the tears.
(Revelation 7:17, . . .and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes).
Comfort the Your people.
(Isaiah 49:13, Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.)
Pour out Your healing.
(Mark 6:13, And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.)
Remind us daily, Father, that Your love is personal, intimate and ever present.
(Isaiah 49:16, Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.)
Open our eyes to Your vision for us.
(II Kings 6:17, And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.)
Open our ears to hear Your words to us.
(Matthew 13:43, Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.)
Let our hearts hear no other.

Let us remember to seek You early, finding You to be our Source, not hiding our hurts and problems behind our garments of fig leaves.
(Matthew 9:12,13, But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.)

May we not fear to walk where You lead, even through places angels fear to tread.
May we stand fast in the face of the enemy.
(I Corinthians 16:13, Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.)
May we so conduct ourselves that only You are seen and all honor is Yours.
(John 3:30, He must increase, but I must decrease.)

Help us put away words that are not of You.
(Psalm 12:3, The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:)
 
And may it all be for Your glory.
(I Chronicles 16:27, Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.)
In the name of Jesus.
(John 14:14, If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.)
Amen.

[In Christ]

I just wanted to encourage you that from personal experience, when I committed to obey HIM (and dh) God DID provide for all our needs regarding homeschooling.  HE is so very amazing and worthy to be trusted and praised at all times.

YEA! God!

Love in Christ

Hi
I know that everyone is going to be praying for Mike Pearl today, but could you please add me too?

Last night my husband and I had a big arguement. Which actually consists of my saying something I shouldn't have said, and then him taking an extreme response to it. I know better, I should have relied on God to take care of the situation instead of telling DH what he should/shouldn't do.  We have had similar arguements before over the years, but this time, he is more upset than I have ever seen him about anything.

I feel like a total fool, who has torn down her house with her own hands.  He told me not to be surprised if he doesn't come home, at least not for a long time. He has never said anything like that before. He left for his meeting this morning without saying goodbye.  He is an extreme type of guy. Every time we have had an arguement,  it always permanently damages our relationship. He always refuses to hear any apology from me, and there is nothing I can do to draw him back to me, just wait and pray. But when we have reconciled in the past, he never fully "comes back", each time he keeps more of himself away. I think his love for me gets less and less. I don't ever want to make this mistake again!!!!!

I have read Created many times and tried so hard... And I think I do a really good job most of the time. but it only takes one mistake every so often to bring me here.  I am so sad and weary. Please, PLEASE pray for us today, we really need it!!!!
Thank you!

[RunAmokFarm]

Servantgirl,
We will be praying for your husband, as well as you today ~

[servantgirl]

PRAISE! 
Thank you so much to all who have prayed!

Hubby came home soon after the meeting was done  and has acted mostly normal all day  ! I had prayed hard for the Lord to speak to him and give him direction, then fill him with peace and joy about the direction he was given. ( I know that the real problem isn't what I said in our "discussion", it is the feeling of having no purpose, feeling lost and helpless. That is something he has felt for a long, long time  and it has really been getting to him lately. I have prayed this many times with no response.)
Today God opened a door for him and seemed to do just that- give him direction, and a sense of hope, although he is cautious. He was sort of baffled by the whole thing.

It is so good. He was so off-the-wall last night that I had no idea what to expect. This is God's doing, this is God hearing our prayer and acting. Oh, I am so relieved and I am in awe of the Lord. Thank you again for praying!!!
