Father I pray for myself. I have been so down and empty. I feel like giving up. But I can't and won't. I don't know if You are tearing me down totally to build me into who You want me to be. I still give you the glory anyway. This Sunday praise team sang two songs. One about Abba I belong to you and all is well with my soul. I sin that to You now. I lift up Chris. He needs even more than I. Please help him. Bring Your son back to You. Also my nephew will probably hear by the end of the week the fate of the custody hearing. You know me and the family or so worried about the kids. Please have Your will and it be done. Bind satan. Protect the children. In Jesus' name amen.

Amen, Wendy, joining in prayer with you for all of these causes. Here are some verses that are encouraging to me, with the hope that they will also encourage you.
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." (Psalm 55:22)
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" (Psalm 27:14)

Today I feel it's over. So many lies. I do t see a change. Chris is a tough cookie. I believe he feels so far down he can't look up. The evil one has him so blinded. I don't just don't know. I'm scared. I wish one way or the other it was over. I'm so tired mentally, emotionally and physically. I just feel like crying myself to sleep. I want to ask why. But that won't help. I guess the stress of it all is getting the better of me. Sorry. Do t want to be a downer. But I know Chris can't come back till there is a total change in him. So Damascus road take Chris on (so to speak). Also worried about my nephew's kids. We should hear something in the next couple days.

Praying for you Wendy...your strength, guidance and perseverance. Also praying for Chris. I'm in a similar situation. ...husband was unfaithful and satan is deceiving him that we should never have been together. He's been gone 15 months. ...after 20 years. He has to get right with god again before he can participate in the marriage. He has to forgive me for my part in this and right now his anger consumes him. I know how you feel....physically. emotionally. ...its not easy. I encourage you to stay strong ....your fight is not with Chris its with satan. Never give in...never give up (Galatians 6:9). Pray, Fight, Trust. If you haven't seen War Room, i would recommend it....back to basics and encouraging. God bless

Thank you. We are in the same place. One problem is that Chris doesn't talk to me about it at all. I don't know exactly where he is in this.

Mine doesn't either. I sense so much even with his silence.

Wendy and TK, I posted this prayer on a thread of Mary's but as I wrote it I was thinking about both of you as well. I'm standing in prayer for both of you, dear friends.
Dear God, today I was reading about how to approach you in Psalm 95. Your word tells us to come to you with joyous willing hearts, with songs of praise and thanksgiving. But sometimes my Lord it is so hard to do that when all we can feel is this devastating hurt. Our hearts are broken Lord because our spouses have gone far from you and are no longer walking in your ways. We are feeling so sad and hurt God because we crave their love, yet their hurts have turned to the world instead of to their covenant partners. God we want to worship you gladly because we know that you are worthy of praise always, we honor you in our knowledge of your greatness and grace. But it is so hard to lift our hearts to you Lord when they are so heavy with despair. We beg you to please help us Lord, help all of us who are hurting and aching. I ask you for all my fellow standers, for all your servants across this wide world who are struggling in their marriages, and I ask you in particular for Mary, for Wendy, for TK, for Sharon, for these dear sisters who I know are hurting so badly right now. Please comfort them in your Spirit Lord, strengthen them and give them rest in you. Remind them of your eternal and unconditional love, and whisper the truth into their heart that you have good plans for them and for their marriages. I plead to you Lord on your behalf, that they may feel your loving embrace today Lord wherever they are. That they may be able to lift their heads again and put this burden back at the foot of the cross where it belongs. All this I ask in Jesus' name and in love for my sisters and respect for your will. Amen.

I can imagine its very hard not having tabs on your husband and knowing where he is in his walk with God or if there is any change, but God knows. He sees everything going on in your husbands mind and heart and He is the only one who can make any changes there. Just keep your hope, and keep trusting in God. He has never let you down and He never will!
