Intro- new to forum

[AMVanNess]

Hi my name is Anne-Marie. I'm in a difficult marriage (coming up on 9 yrs) and am seeking Christian friends. I have 4 children. I am considerably involved in our church. I have a few close Christian friends. Yet, I feel so alone. And at times, I feel completely hopeless and helpless.

There is no one in my life with whom I can be completely honest about my marriage. Maybe I am kidding myself, but I feel his lies defrauded me of the marriage I was looking for. And his anger is just unreal. He doesn't love me...no matter how many times he says he does. He never wants to spend time with me. It's all about him and the other 5 people in this house are just in his way...and he lets us know it by his harsh words, his demeanor, and his actions. I live under the constant threat of being kicked out. This is not and has never been a marriage. It may say that on some legal document, but he has never treated me like a wife.

Sorry to sound so depressing. I really need positive people in my life. Living with my husband is very mentally, physically, and spiritually draining.

Anne
First and foremost I want to pray for you.
Father in heaven. My heart was broken in reading her opening post. The heavyness in my heart. The anger as well. Father thank you so much that you are a faithful God, A god who is not made by the works of peoples hands but you are the mighty I AM. who has always been there and will always be there. I thank you father for this forum that its a place where many people can come and lift each other up bfefore your throne. I look forward to meeting her and her husband along with thier children someday. Father I pray that you will settle your peace that you would fill anne with your Holy Spirit and that you will place a hedge of protection around here and her children. I pray Jesus that you will bind in Jesus name the evil one who takes pleasure in destroying marriage. I pray Jesus for here husband that you will bring him to his knees and bring him to a saving grace and knowledge of your Son, that he will learn to treat her like a queen. Jesus I know this breaks your heart and ask that you will do what you will do to protect her for you did not give her a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.. Give her rest Lord and may this be the begining of a new life for her.. We give you honor, praise and Glory in Jesus name.

Welcome to the board.. I also suspect Lovely will be able to be a great blessings and a help to you. She is a Mod on this forum and the Holy Spirit indwells in her.. Send her a PM..

Know that you are Loved and that you are worth it. Know and believe that you are not Junk, but you are a treasure whom the Lord thought of enough to send his Son for.

Father I pray that you will equip her with your armour. That she will take up the shield of faith, the swrord of the spirit, the belt of truth, the helmet od salvation and shoes with the readyiness to praise your Holy name.

I normally don't browse this part of the forum but

Amen to Jg's prayer. Kenneth Hagin's ministry has a good teaching from the Biblical persceptive about Marriage, divorce, and remarriage. It helped me a lot. I am not saying to get a divorce, but you should admit it could be a possibly. Just ask the Lord to renew your marriage and to give you answers.



May God bless, golfjack

JG and Jack:

Thank you. Your prayers and encouragement are exactly what I need. I find myself mostly unable to pray about my marriage and/or for my husband. The brokenness and bitterness make it hard to even want restoration. I feel like I am trapped in a slow death. I go through periods of renewed hope ...sometimes daily....only to face his constant rejection. So, my thoughts...my prayers for him...are not of the God-seeking and God-honoring kind. I pray for some Old Testament smoting. Every time he utters a "gd" I think, "Now God...strike him down." ---- Most of my prayers are for the protection of my children...from the stupid things that we both say and do.
