First of all, please don't ever think that by having a difference of opinion you are disrespecting me.
I think it is great that we can discuss these things together, like adults.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
It is my interpretation from these scriptures, that God is NOT a Genie. As our Heavenly Father, He will not always give us what we want if He doesn't feel it is the best thing for us.
For example, if you prayed earnestly for Him to give the OW a deadly disease so she would die and your Husband would come home, do you honestly believe that God would give you this, just because you asked?
There have been times in my life that I have prayed earnestly for something to happen for months and months. And it didn't happen, but instead something else happened which was better for me. Does that make sense?
There is also a whole other issue with prayer, especially when it comes to another human being. God also gave man free will. We can pray for another person, we can pray for their salvation, we can pray for them to return to the Marriage, but our prayers do NOT guarantee anything other then Gods will be done.
I want to wrote more about this, but I am very tired right now, and if it is OK with you, I will finish this tomorrow.
Have a great evening.

There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
