I feel like Cagzmom. I read the rejoice ministries but I feel so beat the last couple of days. I have been standing since June '06. AmyC thank you for your post I know it is true. At times I'm just so overwhelmed because I'm holding on by myself, surrounded by prodigals, and at times I so want to 'go home' and be loved and talked to.
I read last week that the past weekend was prayer weekend for prodigals to return home. I signed up for the prayer circle at the rejoice ministry and prayed with more conviction and also the hedge of thorn prayer. Last Sunday my DH was over and picked up his phone (which is very rare when he is at home) and talked to this person about how he was dumped by the OW (she actually tried to convince my DH to make up woth OW). I do sense they 'made up again' because my DH old behaviours surviced again but keep praying for strength and return for my DH.
FH. May I ask you about the group of ten men? Did you form this group for your wife to return? I read on a website about a prodigal return prayergroup which you can form yourself. They have had amazing reconcilitations. They started with a group and everyone wrote the name of their Prodigal on a piece of paper. Then they decided to come pray on a regular basis. The names of the prodigals were written with black ink. When a prodigal showed signs of being touched by the light their name was written in blue. After being touched more by the light they wrote the name in red and when the prodigal returned their name was written in (I'm not sure anymore but I believe)white. The power of prayer touched many prodigals.
Well I am very happy for you! THank you very much for sharing your succes. I admit that reading many posts filled with misery and heartache and anger make me feel like there is no use. Thanks everyone for your posts even though we hijacked yours FH!! Your thread encourages me to take another step.
