Can u say a quick prayer for Tony please? He just had a huge rage fit in front of the kids... Now he thinks he's a lost cause.. He said he's moving out & signing his rights to the kids over to me.. He's torn between putting all of the blame on me, & actually dealing with his problems..
Lately I've been praying nothing for him except that the Father would draw him.. I can't help but just know that's what this is..

Mary, I see that you posted this almost an hour ago and right around that time I was actually praying for you and Tony without even having seen this!! I had my time in the word and then checked the group real quick to see if there were any new prayer requests.. I didn't see any at that time and so I settled down to pray. As I was praying I felt moved to pray specifically for Tony and was praying that he would feel God's calling and also that he would feel the Holy Spirit's call to shift his behavior when he was treating you and the kids in a way that didn't honor God, and I also prayed for God to have mercy on him and show him His love... I went with what God put on my heart but honestly didn't know why I felt so called to pray for him so specifically, but now I know!!
I will continue to hold you and Tony up in prayer but I hope that this prayer moment I had can serve as a reminder to you that God truly has got you both covered in prayer. He remembers you and He remembers Tony and He's not going to abandon either one of you. Stay strong in prayer and trust in God, my sister!

I don't know if he will be receptive at all but I thought of the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin... Luke 15:3-10

Oh praise God!!! Thank you Lord!! Thank you Adrienne for being faithful & praying!
I just know that God is going to use this to draw to Tony to Him
I sent the parable to him..
Praying the Holy Spirit will give Tony eyes to see & ears to hear truth

Tony texted after he left, to check up on us..
Later I asked if he would bring my nephew over (he was on that side in town) & he did! He was very loving with the kids & sat our son down & explained that he was wrong.. He had my son tell me that I'm a good mom (he never apologizes, so I think this was his way of doing that) he wasn't very sorrowful tho & almost had a cockiness to him.. But he did stay to say goodnight to the kids (he doesn't do very often anymore) & he gave me a hug & said he loved me multiple times.. But we still haven't talked about it all.. So I sent him a text about how this is serious & he can act this way around us anymore.. That I hope he will come to church with us tomorrow.. He hasn't responded but I have hope!
I have no clue if he will even come back tonight.. He came home at 1am last night, so after today I doubt he comes back at all.. But I'm just praying for the Lord to draw him in, & hoping he decides to come to church tomorrow.. I'm so unsure of how to deal with this.. I don't want to enable him.. I feel like somthing Has to be done.. He was so scary.. I don't feel safe around him when he gets like that.. I want to tell him he has to do somthing to show he's trying to change or he can't live here anymore, but I don't want to disobey God or be disrespectful to my husband..

Mary Chris does the same thing. He struggles deeply with saying sorry or admitting he is wrong. He says it's awkward and embarrassing. It's something God is working on with him, but I believe that is what Tony was doing. Chris will often apologize to me through the kids. He wants you to know he is sorry, even if it is in a cocky way. He can't release that pride yet. God will work on that with him, I am certain of that.

Also, Mary you felt regret for pushing him out of the door last time. I can't say for sure what God is speaking to your heart, but you know God's voice. Please listen to Him and don't let the enemy deceive you. He may be calling you to action, but he may be calling you to wait. I am praying for wisdom for you sister.

Thank you! I'm thinking if He is calling me to action, it will be His way, not me reacting out of hurt like I did last time
I do know that tony cannot just ignore this like he does everything else.. He has to do somthing to show he's trying to change, or he has to be separated from us & im considering doing somthing legally so he can't try to take the kids from me... I think he wants to live else where but has no where to go & no money for a hotel.. But I have no clue at this point what God wants me to do.. All I do know is that this can't get ignored & dismised

Don't overthink it sister. God has the answer and he will speak it plainly to you. Go back to your prayer closet and quiet yourself and listen.

Mary, Sharon is right. Pray about this and wait for God's response to be clear. I have lately felt the need to pray that God speak so clearly to us standers AND to our prodigals that it is impossible to ignore or misunderstand. Stay firm in prayer for God's guidance... I will be praying the same.

I will be praying for you. Sharon and Adrienne are right. The Lord will show you what to do in a way that is clear. Try not to give in to worry about what he's going to do. The Lord will cover you guys.

I was reminded by the Father that Tony is suffering... The Lord took my eyes off my hurt & wants, & put them on Tony's pain... I prayed & spent time with the Lord..
Tony & I didn't speak, but he randomly came home for the kids bedtime & although we didn't speak, he spent the night & even in our bed instead of the usual couch.. I think God is moving!
