In need of STRONG prayers

My husband has two babies outside our marriage. We've been married for 14 yrs. I have not been a good wife. I verbal and emotionally abused my husband through many years of our marriage. He stuck it out with me, trying to reach out to my family and friends. He truly loved me and I took advantage of his love, I thought he would never leave me. His heart is very harden towards me now, he told me he has moved on in life. I know I wasn't a good wife but I'm still hurt. I pray God give me a second chance to be a good wife to my husband. I prayed for my husband before I even meet him. I described him to God in prayer and he sent him to me. I have emotional issues within myself. I believe that's the reason I was unable to show my husband the love he show me. I blame myself for what has happen in our relationship.... I pray he and God can forgive me. Our 13th year old daughter and my 4 year old son are suffering he has a wonderful and loving relationship with our kids. I don't know what to do. I feel like just dying. I feel worthless, I am such a failure. Please pray for us.

Thank you
by: Thank you

Thank you so much Karen for your words of wisdom. You are truly a woman of god.Ace and anonymous thanks for your prayers and kind words, I really need them. I have decided not only to pray to God to bring back my Hubsand, I told myself, I dont want him to come back and I do the same thing all over again. That would be selfish. My husband told me he found LOVE... I dont know what to do. Ive ask God to change me. I realized that I cant be with my Hubsand until I change within myself. I am so scared, but I trust in the Lord my savior and friend.I dont have anyone to talk to,I am so grateful for this site. I really want my family back....I just didnt know what I had. Now that I lost it I realized god had blessed me with so much and I just messed it all up. Please continue praying for me.

It's not too late

It seems so much easier to see our own mistakes when we look back than when we were in the middle of making them, doesn't it?

And then our sense of regret sets in and we find ourselves wishing we'd made better choices. I know. I've done it at least a thousand times.

But the truth is, you can't move forward until you acknowledge where you've been and where you are today.

Fortunately, God is always willing to work with us to make changes in our lives. He's always waiting for us to mess up enough on our own so we realize that without Him, we simply won't make it.

It sounds like you're ready to work with God to make some real changes in your life. That's a very good thing. I'm not talking about your circumstances. I'm talking about changes in you. I know. It would be so much easier if God would magically just wave His hand and make everything in your life better.

No, it doesn't work that way. The changes that God is most concerned with are the ones that have to happen inside you. And how do you get started?

Start spending as much time with God as you possibly can. I'm not talking about begging Him day and night to do something because you'll be wasting your time. Rather, I'm talking about reading His word. See what Jesus says about how to live your life. See what the Word says about how to love other people.

Talk to God about controlling every negative thing that's coming out of your mouth. Start small. Try going 24 hours without complaining, whining, or saying one negative thing about yourself or somebody else. Then try to go for a week. Seek God's strength. Seek His wisdom and peace.

Notice how I haven't mentioned your husband? It's because the changes that you need to make as you work with God are between you and God. The truth is, you can't love your husband in the right way because you can't give away what you don't have. Until you truly learn how to love the way God intended, things between you and your husband will never change.

As you work with God your husband will start to see the changes in you. As your life changes, your husband will have a reason to believe that things could be different. Right now all he has is what happened before.

I could probably continue writing about this for hours. But instead I'm going to refer you to my ebook, A Change of Heart. This is where I outline specifically how to make changes in your life that line up with God's Word.

Blessings,

Karen

prayer

Father, I pray for mercy on behalf of this loved one and her family. Father, forgive the sins, wrongs, hurts, and offenses of each family member, as well, forgiveness unto those that wronged, hurt, or offended them-in Jesus Name. Holy Spirit circumcise each heart and lead them into all truth. I pray and ask the Lord of the Harvest to send the laborers in the field-into this familys life, to teach, strengthen, and encourage. Let each one Father humbly submit unto Your Lordship and receive Your peace that transcends all understanding. Father, expose and expel all those wrongs, hurts and offenses that are bound in her heart that's causing so much hurt and pain, and that is causing the destructive behaviour that has led her to the place she now stands. Father, I pray for total healing, deliverance, true salvation-and a deep hunger and desire for You and Your way of doing things. Father, use this loved one mightily to help the many others that are going thru this type of situation-to restore sight to the blind, binding up the wounds of the broken-hearted, and setting the captive free, in Jesus Name. Father, I pray new beginnings of true freedom, righteousness, peace, joy, loving-kindness,unity, mercy; an abundant life-upon, about, and within each family member. Place their feet on solid ground in all confidence, courage, and hope-binding this family together in all love-the true love of God, in Jesus Name. Thank You Lord, that she trusts in You and leans not on her own understanding-in all her ways she acknowledges You, and You shall direct her path. Thank You Lord, that she only hears the voice of our Good Shepherd, and His voice only does she follow-we thank You Lord for hearing and honoring prayer, all in the Name of Jesus.

Praying for you

Hello you are saying that you prayed for your husband before you met. You also stated you prayed for him and God sent him in to you. Well be encouraged that God does not give you something or someone to take it back, for whatever God gives you is for you!!! You must understand the spirit of God and whats best for you in all things. If you believe within your heart that God sent your husband then believe he will send him back to you. All things work together to them that love the love and are called according to his purpose. Keep trusting God and he will show you all things. I am Praying for you!!
