Offering Prayer

[bigybiz]

I was quite moved by a post I saw. Someone stated that they were not doing well and had even given up on prayer.

I can tell you that one of the only things that is keeping me going is: I have an army of people praying for healing and forgiveness between my Wife and I.

I know it is not much - but I would be honored to pray for anyone out there. I'm not a clergy or a scholar or have any more answers than you. I can't promise any results - but I can pray for you.

If you would like me to pray for just reply with your username/handle. If you want to give a specific prayer request i.e. Healing, Strength, etc. put it in and I'll try to keep them all straight.

bigybiz,
I too have an army of people praying for my situation with my wife and I. Heck, I even went as far as to download a prayer app so I can post my situation to have more people praying for me. The app is called prayer by praywithme. I also believe that prayer is the only way to get through a time like this. Praying for my wife's heart to be softened, praying for my strength and praying for reconciliation between us. I firmly believe that it was the absence of God that got us into this situation and only with God will we get out.

If you would pray for me I would be honored. And I will be praying for you and your wife too brother.

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Collin:

Thanks for trusting me. I'm in the same boat. I did not put God 1st and my wife 2nd. I chased other idols and now everything is broken.

This wake up call - has left me realizing what has gone wrong and all I have left is prayer.

I will pray for you and I appreciate your prayers for me.

bigybiz,
my problem was i got real complacent and essentially was sleepwalking through both my faith and my marriage. i went to church, i listened to christian music, i did all the stuff on the exterior a christian should do. but, i still didn't have a relationship with christ. i didn't pray daily [sometimes the only praying i did was at church], i didn't read the bible at all. same with my marriage. i did stuff around the house, i told my wife i love her, but i didn't show her i loved her like i should've. i took advantage of the fact that she would always be here even if i was emotionally distant. i treated my marriage more like a part time job than a lifetime commitment.

looking back now, i see it, it's so clear. but at the time, i was blind to it all.

Collin: Your situation is very similar to mine. I had some issues of my own and my wife has some of her own too. Now it's not looking good. I'll pray for you guys. Does your wife have a relationship with Christ?

[collin]

You know. There was a point in time where I would've said beyond any shadow of a doubt she did. I mean, she's the one who got me going back to church a few years back. Now, I'm not so sure. I think maybe she's sleepwalking her way through it as well and just doesn't realize it (like I was). I don't mean to say she's a bad person or anything. But, here lately, it just seems that other stuff takes precedence over going to church. Like, we foster dogs through a rescue. Seems that more times than not when people at church ask me where she is, I reply with "dog stuff."

Perhaps that's why we're in the situation we are in now.

Thanks - Let's hope a couple of extra prayers will turn things around for you two.

Collin and Melo. I'm just letting you know I've been keeping my word and praying for you both twice a day.
