Our One Flesh Needs Prayer.

Our One Flesh Needs Prayer. - 08/22/01 10:15 PM

At the beginning of August. She declared that she needed space and privacy.

We are living separately in the same place. Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually. She handles all the money and has stopped returning to the Lord in what is His. Most of the time, when I mention God, either God or I and sometimes both, get slandered. She is pretty much in control of the whole thing now ( My opinion does not count anymore.).

She had an affair 3 months ago. I think the guilt is weighing her down. ( I begged her to let me back into her life at the end of the affair. ) Her Grandparents and Parents both went through divorces because of affairs. I am beginning to realize, she does not trust ( tolerate, yes; trust, no ) men at all. She has a women boss and all, but one women co-workers.

She saw a secular counselor ( a women ), last night. She did not want to talk about it. So I let her have her space. Pray that God will use her women counselor according to His will.

We need Prayer for her recovery/healing and my peace of mind, strength, patience, Love for Her in our time of crisis.

It's amazing what goes through my mind, with the rejection and doubt, because of her problems ( And mine, I know I'm not perfect either. ). And I thought I was a Christian ( Still am, but all this other stuff comes from you know who. ). I need strength not to give in, when my personal needs are not being met in our marriage covenant of 23 years.

She is going through Menopause and a Mid-Life Crisis rolled up in one big dose.

Thank You, for your Prayers!

Yours in Christ, Michael

Dear Chantale & Sarah,

Thank you so much for Praying for Our One Flesh. For I know, that we both need it.

I experienced a wonderful outpouring of Grace last night while struggling with God in prayer. And my soul was calmed in the storm of emotionally turmoil. While I will still pray that the storm does not tear down a 23 year marriage. I now know first hand, how I will finish this trial, by God's Grace.

I could barely believe it, I had main prayer during service, by the end of the prayer, I was crying ( My wife did not attend church this last Sabbath and has chosen to skip a lot of them over the last 8 months. ).

Thank you for your prayers!
Michael

She asked me to leave the condo. It's her parents that are the landlords. It does not matter if am the innocent party or not. Children cried and cried, and so did I.

Lord, we need healing from you.

Yours in Christ, Michael

Last Friday, She met me with her parents. She asked for a divorce. This caught her parents off guard, because she was seeing the lawyer for separation. Maybe all those jokes, aren't to far off? And came back with a divorce.

Well, This shocked her mother. And her mother got her to postpone it until some more counseling can be done. Her step-father and mother both apologized to me, because my wife did not consult them before telling me the news.

She is going to change counselors. She told her mother, it's because of the distance. She told me nothing ( I found out from her mother. ). When I shared this with another couple that had gone through some troubles earlier, they seem to think that she did not get the response from the counselor that she wanted. I feel it's to drop counseling all together.

She is proceeding to prepare for the divorce, as if nothing was going to stop her.

I asked her about what her faith ( She is an SDA. ) tells her about divorce. She replies that it's none of my business.

She is divorcing God and Husband in one quick move. Pray for my One Flesh. Because this is so painful for me. She is ignoring the Pastor, Her Mother, The Kids and me.

God Bless you all for your prayers,
Michael

I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you. It is not easy to be without the one you love. But, I pray that God will keep you safe through this trial. May God richly bless your marriage and I pray He will bring your wife back to you and draw her closer to Him, as well.

God bless!

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are the great and Wonderful Counsellor, therefore, I ask You to send the Holy Spirit to speak to Michael's wife in the way You know best through some it is writtens from Your Holy Word. I don't know where she is at spiritually, but You do. Speak to her heart now.

I also ask You to be with Michael in a special way during this time of stress he is going to relating to his wife. You also know where Michael is at spiritually, therefore, speak to him also through Your Holy Word.

We all pray that Your will will ultimately be done in each of their lives that they may both together live in harmony with Your will.

I also pray for their children who could be Your instruments in bringing them back together by bringing his wife first back to You and then back to Michael.

In the Precious Name of Jesus Christ I pray and thank You,

Amen!

Pray alot today because she has a terrible temptation before her. She going to meet her old boyfriend again. Pray for closure on this chapter of her memories.
Pray for her salvation, because she said, she can't find God right now.

Yours in Christ,
Michael

Let me also mention, that he broke it off in May because of a Bible study on Eph. 5. So I know he is Christian.

So I am hoping that in God's will, that he will give closure to her on this fantasy affair. He's married with children also. So two families are involved.

I am praying that God will use him to bring the ultimate healing that my One Flesh needs.

I asked to take all her problems to God. She replied that she can not find God.

Lord of Glory, reveal your love to my One Flesh. Show her your persistent love working through the providences of a world in motion. Rebuke Satan, his Angels and his Spirits from her and the children and from me and this other family as well. Restore her to love again, as it was in the beginning. Please let not this sin fall upon two families. You have said, "I hate divorce." God Almighty, I plead the shed blood of your Son, Jesus Christ for the remission of all these sins and for the healing of the souls involved.
AMEN

Yours in Christ,
Michael
