I left my husband of 23 years about 14 months. God deliverd my husband from alcohol almost 17 years ago and he started drinking again about 3 years ago. I prayed for him to stop drinking for 3 years before I left. I prayed, begged, cried and did everything in my power but nothing worked. He is still denying that he has a problem after 14 months of seperation. He has lost his job because of drinking, getting ready to lose his home and still continues to drink and drive. Please help me to pray that God will somehow open his eyes to what he is doing and has done to those that love him. Your sister in Christ, Kim

Please pray for my marriage. My husband of 11 years left me tonight, and I am scared he will ask for a divorce. He left without even saying goodbye to our five year old. I don’t know what to tell our son. My heart is broken. Please pray that God heals my marriage. Thank you. I am broken in two.

Please pray for myself and my family. My husband and I have been married for 14 years and together for 18. He started an affair at work (2 timing), and the same time letting me believe he is committed to our family and to me, giving me flowers, being romantic. I was pregnant with our 4th child. I found out about the affair (its a much older married women). He left and found a house near her house to rent, they kept on meeting in secret. I told her husband and he gave her another chance, just for her to keep on sleeping with my husband. I was hurt so much. My husband (now ex) started a divorce process, lied to court denying affair, I had no energy to fight the divorce which was illegal, as I had miscarriage symptoms. He told us to move as he was not paying the house anymore, he became aggressive and I ended up in hospital. I loved and still love him so much… I had to move far away due to his anger and aggression (personality change), he became a different person. We now live 5 hours away from him, our baby was born 3 months ago, he refused to be there, he didnt attend the baptism (we are a christian family). I am so broken and very lonely, its hard! I have no family as I live in the UK, and family in another country. I cant move to them as I will be dependent on my parents and the country they live in dont look after single mothers like here. Please pray for me, my broken children (ages 12,7 5)… and for my (ex) husband, with whom I still feel married too… so he can turn back to God. I am so raw inside.

I am having a difficult time moving on from my divorce because of bitterness and my ex’s inability to work with me for the kids sake. It is causing problems in my personal life and dragging me down to being a person I don’t even know any more. Please pray that I can be released from the anger and resentment that I feel inside and allow me to see the positive that I have all around me. Break the negative that flows from choices that my ex makes and allow me to move forward in my own personal relationships. Bring the smiles and joy back to me!

Hi Jason,
Thank you so much for doing this website. My husband divorced me & married someone else in less than a year (2006). I’m still not over it. I was well on the road to recovery with the Lord’s help & he (Tiger) showed up at my door on 2/14. I hadn’t spoken to him in 2 years. I feel like I’m starting over at square one dealing with the hurt. He only came to see me because he knows that I love him & he & his wife were fighting. I’m so drained in dealing with this & would appreciate your prayers very much. It always helps to talk to someone that’s been through it. Thank you, Jane

My wife recently left me and she is starting the divorce process. Its been very difficult for me to comprehend she will not even talk to me at all. I still love her dearly. I feel lost and hurt.

My husband recently filed for divorce after just a one-year marriage in which he verbally and emotionally abused me. I would welcome your prayers that God might replace his stone cold heart with a heart of flesh and that we might reconcile and go on to have a happy, healthy, God-centered marriage. Thank you!

Oh boy. Today I filed a restraining order. I feel sick, like I have been socked in the stomach. My husband of 14 years and I have been in a struggle for more than 4 years. He rejected me for 3 years and used drugs, I had a sexual affair and also several internet affairs. I am angry and resentful, he is hurt and betrayed. I wanted and needed space, to sort out my feelings. The relationships didn’t mean anything but how I got into them does. He just wanted me to be completely in love again, and it hasn’t been there for so long. Then some strange behavior started and he was using prescription medication again. He ended up telling my 14 year old son all the sordid details of these sexual relationships. How do people get through this. Whether you are the “bad” person or not, I can’t handle this. I never thought we would be this couple. I am so sick inside. I don’t know what my prayer request is… certainly not for me. For my boy, Noah. Thanks.

My divorce will be final any day now. It was not what I wanted but am trying to see the blessing in it. My husband continues to want every single thing to go his way or no way. It is difficult at best to share a 10 year old child. When she’s with me I’m on top of the world and when she’s not I’m depressed and cry a lot. it is difficult to know she is with my husband and his girlfriend. I struggle with the hate I feel for him, we argue a lot and I despise him. I am working on handing it all to God. Although my faith has never been stronger, I feel like such a hypocrite to say that and then talk of how I feel towards my almost ex-husband. Please pray for me to rid my heart of this despise for a man I spent 20 years of my life with.

I am divorced with three children, ages are 8, 5, and 2. We moved from a house to a small apartment. I recently changed jobs. My hours vary and cause me to be away from the children to much. I do not have that many hours at work. My ex husband does not pay child support, he does not work, and has problems with alcohol. We do not get along most of the time. He lives with his parents who constantly give me a hard time. I’m trying to balance everything as a single mother. I’m having a hard time figuring things out. I feel lost and unsure of my parenting. If you could pray for guidance for me. If anyone has any advice It would be greatly appreciated. This is all pretty new to me.
