Prayer Requests

Susan 8/11/2008

Please pray for me. I have just gone thru a divorce. I was really blind sided with it. Everything was ok and then my husband came in one day and he wasn't happy and he was "talking" to someone. It wound up being a lady that I work with, same office, different location. I hold a lot of bitterness toward both of them. I don't hate my ex-husband, but I do hate the sin. At one time he was a Sunday school teacher, and also served as the assistant superintendent of Sunday school at our church. Suddenly about 7 years ago he left the church and never returned. Please pray that I can let go and let GOD. Also pray that he will find GOD again. Thank You

Michele 8/08/2008

Father God, I come to you this day asking for healing in regards to my marriage. I still love my husband and I believe he still loves me. Help the both of us know what to do in regards to whether we be together again or stay separated. Let your Angels guide us to doing your will, not our will. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

Jane 7/11/2008

I am about to begin the divorce process after 29 years of marriage. I did not want this, but my husband does. He is already with another woman and planning marriage. She is the second woman he has committed adultery with in the last three years. I have two daughters, one 26 and one 15. Please pray for us to conduct ourselves through this whole procedure the way God wants us to. I am trying to forgive my husband and pray for him, but there are times when I hurt so bad by his lies and sin. I appreciate your prayers.

Charl 7/11/2008

My wife wants a divorce. We are both children of God. I love my wife and know we can work this out. In our situation there is no biblical reason for us to get a divorce, I have looked, my friends, my pastor. My wife is not seeking out God in this matter; she doesn't want to hear what our believing friends have to say.

I just ask that we pray for Renee to open her heart to God so that He may work in her.

Whitney 7/08/2008

My brother is getting a divorce from my sister in law. Please pray for her and my three year old nephew. They are so strong to leave after putting up with my brothers neglect/mental abuse/and sexual abuse, but you always see in there face that it hurts them.

Please pray for me to one day find the power of god to forgive my brother for abusing me when I was young, and then hurting my dear sister-in-law, and only thinking of himself instead of his son.

Dana 7/05/2008

My husband of over 9 years is having an affair with another woman. He comes from a strong line of ministers and was once feeling he was being called into the ministry. So I know he knows every biblical aspect of his choices. I was angry and hurt by this. I feel God is calling us as a married couple into doing His work. I told my husband my convictions and he just blew it off. I am so scared we will miss this. I am afraid that once divorced I will not be able to witness the way I feel like I am supposed to. I feel so scared. I am raising 2 kids on my own and am so overwhelmed. I just need help. I am a wreck with crying all the time and I know in my heart this is not God's plan. Please pray for my situation.

JC 6/29/2008

please pray for my wife and me. She asked me for a divorce and I am in Iraq..not much I can do here but I believe that god does not want this for us. I love her very much and I pray that she is still in love with me...

Kevin 6/28/2008

My Wife informed me that she no longer loves me and that she will be seeking a divorce. We have been married 21 years, and she treats the divorce like it is no big deal, she even jokes about it. It's killing me I never thought this would happen. Thank God my Daughter is 18 and leaving for College this Fall. I ask for you to pray for her, Taylor, my wife, Lisa and myself. I have forgiven her, but I am hurting and grieving terribly.

Todd 6/27/2008

Please pray for God's understanding and His wisdom for my situation. I am 8 months out of a 6 year relationship with my g/f and her son. I raised her son from 2 years old to 8 years old and was engaged to marry his mother. She has issues from her past and made poor choices in our relationship including infidelity. Long story short I lost my Mom in Feb. 2007 and 5 months later my fiancé' and her little boy left me. I am still so sad and lonely and can not seem to move on emotionally. I need God's help and direction I have no clue how to move on and walk with God and not follow the ways of the world to comfort my self. I am so confused and hurt and the loss of my family and what I wanted and thought my life was going to be is killing me. I need a miracle to get my sanity and happiness back and to get over this situation.

CJ 6/26/2008

My husband announced that he wanted to separate and move out; at first I was very angry and blamed only him for the deteriation of our marriage. Since I have discovered through much soul searching and prayer that I had been aware of his unhappiness for quite some time but chose to ignore it and pretend the problems didn't exist. He had even written me a letter which explained how unhappy he was and I chose to throw it out and ignore it. Still I was somehow shocked when he announced that he wanted to leave us and get his own place. I was blind but am no more.

He is not open to reconciliation; he says that he no longer loves me and that it is too late. I keep praying that the Holy Spirit find a way into his heart and show him that the enemy has sown bad seeds into his mind and that he shouldn't believe everything that he thinks. I would love to try to be the kind of partner that he needs and for him to want to do the same. Somehow we got off track and I am asking for prayer to open his heart to the truth and to see the lies that have been planted in his mind for the poison that they are. I know that this is not what God had planned for our family, the enemy puts up a big fight...

Anonymous 6/24/2008

Please pray for my wife and myself. She has left me. I am open to the change in my heart, my mind, and my will and my actions and I fully allow God to do this. I have made immediate changes in my life and my wife knows this. Please pray that my wife will have a change in her heart, her mind, her will, and her actions and that she would fully allow God to do this, and that she would make immediate changes in her life and be reconciled back to me. She is presently not open to reconciliation but has chosen the path towards divorce. Please pray that:

1.) Our minds would be bound to the mind of Christ.

2.) Our wills would be bound to the will of God.

3.) Our actions would be bound to the Fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness and self-control.

4.) Our hearts would be bound to the Heart of God.

5.) Our marriage would be bound by the Spirit of God and the Spirit of His perfect love.

That true change will take place in both our hearts, minds, wills, and actions speedily, and that permanent reconciliation will take place speedily through the Power and the Love of God. Thank you

Susan 6/23/2008

My husband moved out three weeks ago and says he wants a divorce. I love him so much and have a huge forgiveness to ask for my wrong doing in our marriage. Please ask God to soften his heart, hear our Lord and not to want a divorce. Please ask the Lord to help him come home and be with me in our home and have God and Jesus in our lives.

Angela 6/21/2008

Mindy 6/14/2008

My Christian husband divorced me two years ago. I was not a godly, loving wife and I also was battling from a mental illness during our marriage. My relationship is back on track with the Lord and I am being treated for my illness. I miss him so much and am desperate for him to love me again. I feel like I drove him away though and that he doesn't have a reason to come back to this marriage. I am scared all that he remembers are the bad times. Please pray for reconciliation.

Alex 6/14/2008

My second wife of thee years and I separated. Divorce seems inevitable. We don't even communicate, except through lawyers. I know only God's power and mercy can turn this around. Please pray for my wife and I to each see our own faults, be humble, repent, and come to God for forgiveness and restoration of our marriage. Thank you

Scott 6/07/2008 - Email Scott

My wife after 18 years has told me she no longer loves me and does not have feelings for me anymore. I am very saddened and can't stop crying.

I pray God that you will intervene and show Susie that she really does love me and that it is just satan who is trying to get between us destroy us and our families! Susie was my best friend Lord and she was a good wife to me Lord.

I made many mistakes and now I am on the road you have made for me and will not turn from it. But God is is too late for Susie and I. I pray Lord you will show Susie how to forgive and Love again. And for me Lord I pray you will always guide me and show me a clear path.

Jeff 5/28/2008

My wife of just 2 1/2 yrs. has decided that she no longer wants to be married to me. We filed for divorce yesterday and it was the hardest thing that I have ever done. I still love her more than anything and hold on to hope that she will realize that we can make our marriage work. Please pray for us.

Kadian 5/27/2008

Hello, I am a 25 years old Jamaican female who has been Divorced for the past 2 years. Currently I have difficulty accepting God's forgiveness as I currently feel that there is no hope of happiness in the life for me as I have made a mistake. I honestly did not understand. I feel as if I have no hope.

A 5/24/2008

Help me ask God for peace and direction. I'm not finding myself worthy of being in a good relationship. I feel like I should be happy if anyone takes a second look at me. I'm 31 and my struggles are getting in the way of my Christian life. I have no children but its still so hard.

Emilio 5/23/2008

I am a fool. My absence of the fear of the Lord while I was married terminated our marriage. I committed adultery, drunkenness and violence in our home. My wife has every reason to divorce me and I am sitting with the divorce papers in hand. We have been separated for a year almost to the day. After recently fasting for the fear of the Lord, I want to have a relationship with her and she has made it clear that she is not interested, the thought of it upset her as she wants to move on with her life.

Please pray that I would understand and have the courage to do the loving thing. May God's will be done.

Kelly 5/22/2008

My husband and I have been married 20 years. We have been together for 23 yrs. We have two children (boys 13,and 8) Our 8 yr old has ADHD, along with ODD. My husband said he is not happy and wants a divorce. He moved out. I now have found out he has a girlfriend. She has been married 5 times has lived with three men. She was also married to my husbands cousin at one time. I am a very strong Christian. I am having a hard time understanding this. This is not like him at all. We have always been close. where you saw one of us you would see the other. We were both committed to raising our boys. He started complaining about having to do different things. I would just say okay I will do it. I don't understand how a committed family man could leave his family for a woman of this nature, and from going to seeing your children every day to every other weekend. ( He is ready to bring them back when it is time.) I so desperately need help not to sink into depression.

Jill 5/22/2008

My husband moved out three weeks ago and says he wants a divorce. I love him so much and have a huge forgiveness to ask for my wrong doing in our marriage. Please ask God to soften his heart, hear our Lord and not to want a divorce. Please ask the Lord to help him come home and be with me in our home and have God and Jesus in our lives.

Christine 5/17/2008

My husband had an affair and is still with the woman...this has been going on for 2 1/2 years...we were both believers...we divorced last July...I would have reconciled, even after the divorce...but he has made it clear that he wants her...I have 2 teenagers and struggle often for the Lord to heal our hearts. Thank you.

Richard 5/15/2008

My world is crumbling, and all I've ever wanted is to serve our Lord. I could not in this marriage, even our 5 children, 3 of them adults, all said I should have left years ago. But now, with the finalization of the divorce drawing near, even though I know I am doing the right thing, it hurts like hell. I know this is normal and will pass, but I need help from God to get me through.

Debi 5/10/2008

My husband just texted me that he is going to file for divorce and is living with another woman - he left 2 weeks ago and we have 3 daughters and next month our wedding anniversary will be of 10 years...I don't want a divorce and believe and have prayed/fasted that our marriage be restored. Please help me and my family in prayer. Thank you.

Claudia 5/9/2008

My brother and sister in law divorced one year ago with 3 small children. My sister in law committed infidelity and has dated several men and introduced them to the kids providing unstable environment. My brother after one year has found a girlfriend and now my ex sister in law is trying to file for full custody just because she does not like my brother's girlfriend. It is an endless fiasco and the kids are hurting. I ask for prayer for the kids, my ex sister in law and my brother. I pray that God touches their hearts and gives them strength and that my sister in law's eyes will be opened to all the pain that she continues to inflict not only on my brother but most importantly on the kids. Thank you.

Shakita 5/2/2008

My husband has a calling on his life to minister God's word. We have been married for seven years and have 3 kids (7-4-3weeks old). He has been telling for months that he is not in love with me anymore. I found out that he has been talking to a young lady that I grew up with and he told me that he has feelings for her. I don't believe in divorce but I am at the point of giving up. Please pray that God restore my marriage and the love for me that I need from my husband.

Dayton 4/29/2008

My wife, Carol, has left me and filed for divorce. We have been married over 10 years and have a 10 year old daughter, Brianna. Carol's heart is hard and I ask for prayers for her to be faithful to God and to our marriage to return with a broken and repentant heart. My daughter and I need comfort and peace. I ask for Jesus to restore us into holy matrimony.

Janet 4/27/2008

My husband and I have been separated for 10 months and he is pursuing a divorce. I don't want this divorce. We have been married for 10 years. No children. We are both Christians and I have hope and faith that God can restore us but my husband does not. I don't know what to do. Keep praying or just accept that this is they way it is. I am 32 and my husband is 36. Thank you

Scott 4/27/2008

My wife of 11 years told me she wanted a divorce we have 4 children their ages are 5,4,2 and 1 year and 8 months , I was abusive and thought I could make myself better, I thought I was a strong Christian man , I was wrong we are both Christians and she has every right , I feel I am being punished by God , and I am dead inside it has been 6 months and the paperwork is on the way, as far as I am concerned she can have it all , we built a 5000 sq ft home together and now that is gone, recently I found out I am bi polar , this is no excuse , but will explain some thing to me. It is all in the Lord's hands

Matthew 4/25/2008

My wife has filed for divorce. She is moving out in a few weeks and taking the kids. She is being very nice about all this thou. From what she has told me I understand her issues. But I have had trouble communicating with her for several years and I believe all this issues can be worked out. I feel she has blown some issues out of proportion because she doesn't talk to me and then misunderstands a lot of what I do. Please pray God will open her heart and eyes, that He will show her I do love her and will do anything to work it out.

Goddard 4/10/2008

Please pray for me. My wife of almost nineteen years told me that she never have been and never will be in love with me ever. She only married me because her parents liked me. We have two children, Godwynne(16) and Ruthelia (12). She has now filed for divorce. Both our father's are pastors and both of us born again believers. I do not believe in divorce.

Her words in contradictory to her actions and message she sent me during a time of separation. She always said that she loves me very much and would never leave me. I still believe that God can turn this divorce around and that we would be able to find each other again.

Rick 4/09/2008

Oh, please pray for my family. My wife of 18 years has decided that she needs to move on with our four children to the next stage of her life. She is still living here, but the silence, lack of love and comfort are gone. She tells me to buck up and act like a man, I don't think feeling abandoned, unloved and hurt are unmanly. She seems to be doing everything her mom is doing, her mom is going through a divorce, so she is trying to divorce me. Please pray for reconciliation and restoration in our marriage and understanding and restoration for our kids. Please God, have mercy on our family.

Wendy 3/31/2008

My soon to be ex is very angry with this divorce. He's a very controlling man and will not release my finances to me. I am now in financial destruction and don't have a home to go to with my children, therefore he gets them every night. He is a pastor and has been this way for a while. My prayer is that God will intervene and cause my ex to release my funds to me this week. His excuse for not doing it is, "I know it's yours, but God hasn't told me to release it yet." Please God tell him in the way he needs to hear it today.

Monique 3/30/2008

Please pray for my husband. He left and got a divorce without my consent. I love him deeply and have for the past 24 years! I don't understand how he can still be a Christian and yet know how profoundly he has shattered me, our family and our testimony as a believers? It's been six months since I got word the divorce is legal by the state. I know God still sees us as one though. I am praying him home. Please pray that all root of bitterness is removed from me and that he will turn his eyes back to The Lord and towards Truth.

Jason 3/26/2008

For my wife and I as we begin going through a divorce. I'm totally against it and she says she doesn't feel the same way about me anymore there is no love that she once felt for me there anymore. I ask that you pray for us and that we can get through this and have God show us the right paths for us. Thanks

Todd 3/17/2008

I am going through a divorce. I married a woman I had been in love with since 4th grade and we had always been the best of friends and fell very much in love. She had been married twice before and neither husband had been very good to her nor her family (she had 2 children, my step-daughters, from the first marriage at 19)After 3 months she told me that she could not share her life, her time and her space with anyone (not just me). She said she was just selfish like this and emailed me for a divorce (she does not express feelings verbally). I am trying to get past the anger, I truly am but my heart feels like it has a HUGE gaping hole in it. I had finally begun building a relationship with Christ and this seems to have hardened my heart. I feel hollow when I pray as though I have been abandoned by everyone.

Norma 3/15/2008

I really need the strength of a prayer. My husband of 13 years left me for a younger woman, I`m dealing with so much pain some times I can barely deal with it. I have pray to God for peace and strength to continue and keep going for the sake of my daughters. Thanks

Judith 3/08/2008

I read your story I am a Christian I wanted the perfect marriage but for me it was not I try. Please pray for me am almost going to the same process one thing I don't do is blame god please pray for me for I need the prayer of those that know god is able. keep holding on to god.

Delsia 3/04/2008

I just found out today that my husband had written flirtatious comments of a sexually perverted nature to what at the time would have been a 17 year old and a 15 year old girl. I had a dream last night that my husband was doing this on line and felt to Google him when I got up this morning. The posts came up with the information, which was shocking.

We are both Christians and I'm afraid my family won't support me through this. I feel in this case I want a divorce. I would be afraid to have children with him and really want the opportunity to re-marry and have children in the future.

Please pray that the hatred I have been feeling today will go away. I am so angry with him, and just want to be free of that so I can move on. What's worse is he owned up to it then blamed me. He has blamed me for everything that goes wrong and hasn't really been a spiritual leader. I have alot of residual anger about him not taking on the leadership role when I needed him to.

Please pray that I will find God's will for my life in this. I feel like maybe I ignored warning signs right before I married him that this wasn't going to work out. We've been married for over 10 years. I want to stress that I do not want to reconcile due to the age of those involved and the situation. I'm very uncomfortable with him as a person now, and know I couldn't bridge the gap. Thanks so much for your prayers. This is a wonderful website!

Sylvia 2/23/2008

Last summer my husband of two years had an affair. He was a professing Christian and active in church when I met and dated him. The affair was a complete surprise. We went to counseling a few times, but my husband finally dropped out. We separated in November and now he is pursuing the legalities for divorce. I need prayer for anger and bitterness. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with these two emotions. I really want to get beyond all of these and I resent having to go through this process. Thank you for your prayers, Sylvia.

Enola 2/13/2008

My husband, Chad, left me the weekend before Christmas for another woman.  Since then, he still calls me nearly every day and has even asked me out.  I thought I knew what I wanted and what to do but I can't continue to be pulled back and forth between wanting to be with him and knowing that he is with another woman, too.  I need a divine intervention from God.  I need His help to know what to do and to come through this in the center of His will.

Tim 2/09/2008

Please pray for my relationship with my children as my wife has left me and taken them from me. I have never felt so shattered. My family was my world. My wife has been deceived by the enemy and my children are hurting. My boys are 8 and 4 and they need their daddy. I still love my wife and badly want to reconcile, God please mend my family.

Archie 1/06/2008

Hi, it has been 2 months since my wife left. We're not divorce yet and I don't know what is going to happen. I had been doing my best trying not to think or even tried to move on. But I still hope that she'll be back. Also, there are many times I'll be very frustrated and think about leaving; what I'll do is read Christians/divorce. I think about it but I don't. I promise God but I'm not sure about her. I'm very weak, my mind is everywhere, and I'm tired. Please pray for me that I'll get stronger. Pray for my wife for whatever hardship she may have.

Mary 1/05/2008

Lord heal this family of 4 persons, even though the its clear divorce seems the only option. Let the sons (Scott and Ryan) forgive their parents and re-kindle their relationship with their father. Heal the mother (Cheryl) of her wounds that she will forgive her estranged husband and allow the sons to built a relationship with their father.

Phil  12/07/2007

Please pray. Pray that God in His mercy and unfailing love will send me a miracle. Pray that he will work a miraculous healing in my relationship with Aimee and restore us to each other. Pray also, that, as David prayed in the Psalms, He will not hesitate but will act swiftly. 

Please continue to pray.

"Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." MARK 11:24

Thomas 8/18/2007

Please pray GOD gives me all the desires of my heart that are righteous in GODs eyes, GOD sends me on the mission He has for me now, Pray GOD raises me a mile above those used by Satan to glorify GOD, Pray GOD Blesses me financially now and always and GOD brings me the girl He has for me now. Thank You
