Thanks for starting this thread bigybiz. Please add my family to your list and that the Holy Spirit reaches my W's heart and that also He gives me the strength to accept His will regardless of what comes my way.

I'll also pray when I can for you and Collin, Melo, SadHum, JimKao, Cherry, PacLove, JB9140, trumpet and iwad.

Also a thanksgiving for all those who have faith and share in and giveback to this community.

Hello Prayer Partners.

From a few online videos I was turned on to a book/devotion called The Love Dare. It was made famous in a Christian movie called FireProof.

The book has 40 days of scripture, devotions and challenges aka dares that will help build love in a person and hopefully the couple. I'm into day 4 and I've found it to be challenging, interesting and I'm not sure if it's rewarding.

WARNING - the steps/dares will/may conflict with some of the techniques, strategies, etc that MWD teaches in DB,DR. But, it could be helpful/interesting.

I'm not recommending how it could or could not work - just that some of the explanations of love etc could be meaningful and inspiring.

bigybiz,
great news about a potential answered prayer. One of my problems is, I've always wanted things to be resolved NOW on MY time. In thinking like that I am not putting my faith/trust in God that he will resolve it and his time frame does not necessarily correlate with mine.

I logged everyones name in this group into a list on Google Keep (a note taking app) and set a reminder for 815am (on my way into work) so every morning I get a reminder to pray. Everyone has their own methods, but I just wanted to share mine.

The good thing about that app is I went an copied and pasted the DB steps and whenever I feel like I'm about to break them I go read them. It's really handy having it right there on my phone.

Thanks again..

Collin thanks for sharing your methods. It's great when we can use the technology for "higher purposes"

Yes, God's timing is something we all struggle with. We all want a solution now - but it seems that we always have to wait. My devotional the other day talked about how God puts us in the desert to learn/grow, etc. We are reminded that Paul was in the desert for 3 years, Joseph for 13 and Moses for 40.

Let's hope we will all see His grace soon.

Thanks for praying for us.

Hey prayer partners. I wanted to share some recent answers to my prayers. These are small prayer request and by no means an indication that healing and forgiveness has come to our home. These are still answers to my prayers and I'm sure that they are a result of the collective prayers from everyone.

Here they are:

1) I wanted to my eldest to move back home - done

2) I wanted to build a better relationship with my youngest - he pushes everybody's buttons - its so much better. A much healthier father/son relationship. I'm sure my W see's the difference between us.

3) I asked for opportunities to talk with W about family, sharing, etc. - Over the past two weeks we have spoken most days in a very adult manner. Sometimes about our relationship, most of the time about the house, kids, $. - This is answer to prayer and I continue to pray that we will come together in a positive way.

So there you have it - some of my prayers are being answered. I'm sure some of yours will be too.

This is an inspiring post. I try to remind myself daily that this is not on my schedule, it is on God's. When I get angry or upset, I remind myself that god loves my WW the same as he love me. If you pray for me, pray that the lord shields my children from the chaos that surrounds them. Pray that i have patience and the strength to have the endurance for what has been laid before me. I will pray the same for you all.

I like the idea of sharing bible versus that inspire you. Let us also share the lords word as we share our prayers. Let us pray for the ones who have hurt us most, for the ones that we love. I like this site because I belive that many of its principles are founded on compassion, grace, forgiveness, and so many other godly principles.

Here is my verse for the day. Luke 23:34

THIS ONE sums up this thread James 5:16

I was complacent, not a godly leader of my family. i was guilty of not showing my WW love in the way that our father loves us. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8


God bless you all!

Thank you for sharing. In church today I learned how important it is to pay attention as miracles are happening all around us. Often times they are found in the small things right in front of us.

You have recognized answers to prayers, and that my friend is the truest examples of miracles.

I love this thread and want to see it continue.
