[__ Prayer __] Please pray

[Nick]

I continue to pray for you, and I am glad that you have a job and are staying sober. Just remember to make it through this with the Lord Jesus, and it will make you stronger in your walk with Him. Suffering can be a good thing in this way.

My grace is suffficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and peerfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down atthe right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. - Hebrews 12:2-3

In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16:33

Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. - Hebrews 4:16.

By standing firm you will gain life. - Luke 21:19

mayaggie, I also pray you will continue with the Lord because I believe this uprooting is of Him. Your husband needs prayer too, so I will pray for Him to be under the Lords conviction. He is living a lie and is playing with fire.
I don't think it's at all good for you to be staying in that situation and I pray you will somehow be able to get out of there soon. It isn't healthy.

I will be praying.

I am starting my new job today.I am thinking going of ahead and trying to move out when i get paid.
My attorney says i should not leave my house and lets go to court and see if i can keep it.
I couldn't pay for it even if i did.Even if he was ordered to pay half.I know he is seeing someone
else because he never takes a shower here anymore.It's funny when i started posting on
this forum my biggest fear was thying to quit drinking.Now i hardly think about it.
Now my biggest fear is how i am going to get thru this divorce.

Mayaggie, I had you on my mind today as I was praying and communing with the Lord. Sometimes it's hard to see the hand of God when we are going through a trial, but later we can look back and see the hand of God clearly in that situation.
You are going through a time of uprooting and upheavel at the hand of God, he is bringing you to a place of freedom from oppression, bondage and dependence on man. You've had a false sense of securtiy in that familier place but it has only served to bring distruction on you; God wants to restore what the oppressive years have taken away.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other and allow God to bring you out to freedom. He loves you and wants you to have a fruitful life in Him; From the outside looking into the window you've profided me to see your situation, I clearly see the hand of God all over it.

Bless you

Hi Destiny,
Thank you for your post.You have no idea how hard today has been!!Thank you for praying for
me.Some days i feel like i can keep it together and today is not one of those days.

mayaggie, am keeping praying.

so sorry to hear of all the updates. I am sure this is hard. I know this isn't really helpful to you from a christian point of view - as I don't want you to hate your husband (just what his actions). he is blinded by satan himself and I am sure he is hurting and acting cocky and getting more girls to fill up that gaping hole that we know only God can fill but..

every time you see him, imagine him with 'devil' horns on his head and hopefully it will serve to remind you that satan knows how to push your buttons, by reminding you satan is really working in his life but you don't need to fall into temptation by reacting to anything he does or says. Your husband will know that having girls and making it obvious to you will hurt you so he will do it. The weird thing is he is only hurting himself.

Actually he is hurting more than himself.Mine and his family is being hurt by this.I have always
got along with his family and he with mine.And our children.We have 3 children His,mine and
ours.His son lives with us and when one of us moves out the boys will be separated.He told me today i could keep living here and find me someone to go out with.It hurts so bad to here him say those things to me.I was pointing out to him that he never has wanted to do anything with me.
He said that i was no fun to do anything with.He use to say those same thing 3 yrs ago when
he was seeing a 19 yr old girl and a 21 yr old.Then he said he didn't want a divorce and we went
thru counseling.Now it's happening again.Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!

I am really sorry, it was a turn of phrase but a poor choice of words. Of course he is hurting you and your children. Hope the weekend went a bit better for you. Still praying (actually I don't need to post this, just doing it!)

Hi Ginger,
I didn't take it personal.I knew what you meant.Thanks so much to everyone who is praying
for me.This is a very hard time for me.I have spent over 10 yrs totally depending on
my husband and i have got to learn how not to be.This is really hurting me.Not him.
He couldn't care less if i died today.

His master is satan, until he becomes a christian, even if he doesn't know it - he is lost. He is following someone who just wants the worst for him, destructive, hate etc. Your master is Jesus who is loving and wants the best for you and cares for you so deeply.

Try and put him and the whole situation in God's hands - God knows you can't handle the hurt, so leave it with God.

So now that you are putting him out of your life as much as you can and start a new life with Jesus - you will meet new people/situations. I know it's so so hard all the betrayal and wasted years but we worship a God who knows all about personal betrayal from someone he loved and was so close with daily for years (Judas). So He understands exactly what you feel - give your hurt daily to Him. And if you put Him first in everything, He will guide your paths and you will be in His will/purpose.

And maybe one day you will meet someone who has a problem with drink or drugs and/or has a cheating husband and you can share with them the good news that it doesn't always have to be that way, and how God changed that situation around for you and how you are through the other side. and maybe it will be your personal testimony that will bring that person to Christ! 3

God is able to keep you and to free you from addictions if we walk with Him daily. It's not easy sometimes but we know there is a purpose even if we can't see it, even if it's self-inflicted God can turn that situation around and use it for His purposes.

We just have to keep being faithful for He was faithful first, loving for He is love and God will give us the strength to all that and more.

I will keep praying for you and your situation and that you always keep walking with God who loves you and gave himself for you. And that your son can see your faith and knows through seeing you there is outside hope, as he sees your life change for the better with God.

Hi Ginger,
Please pray that the Lord will give me direction.My attorney says not to leave the house until
the divorce.Says i will get a better settlement if i don't.We have some apartments in our town that
is new and goes by your income.They are fillling up.My husband knows the lady in the office and can
get me and our son one.I'm afraid if i wait i will miss out on getting one.My husband wants us to divorce and me stay here and let him do what he wants.Tomarrow he is going to do something with some friends from collage.It hurts considering he never does anything with us and the fact that he is 45yrs old.not 18 yrs old.I feel so lost and not knowing what to do.People that give me advice have no clue
what it feels like to go thru this.I am married to a man that acts like and "OLD FOOL".

 

[Ginger]
