September 1, 2017 at 1:09 pmI would like to request that everyone prey for my children (age 14, 11, and 7) who will be told today after school that our family is going to be separated. I have fought for my marriage the past 18 months and tried everything I could to change the path. My wife of 16 years and which I’ve known for 25 years has been perpetually unhappy for a few years. She is steadfast in proceeding with the divorce and I have reluctantly conceded after seeing how her unhappiness has impacted her. I do this knowing that Satan’s work is in play whispering the lie that it is okay to divorce and that children are resilient. I don’t believe either are true but there is nothing I can do at this point other than to wrap myself around my children and protect them the best I can.
So, please if you wouldn’t mind prey for my precious children that they will eventually understand; that this disruptive event will not cause a lifetime of distress and negative impact in their future ability to build lasting relationships and to find unconditional love.
I would also like to ask you prey for my wife so that she can find happiness. I told her recently that I will always love her. We used to say to infinity and I still feel that way even when I can’t understand why this is happening.
Lastly, I ask that you prey for me so that I can continue to steer my children on the right path.
I appreciate this community as it has given me courage and faith that I can make it through this season.
God bless you.

September 1, 2017 at 9:03 pmMy dear brother,
l am going thru this same thing after 18 years of marriage (4 seperated, off-and-on) but it is due to unrepentant sin (at one point, l have truly repented) on my part and unforgiveness on her’s.
I feel for you truly. I will pray for you and your children and your wife. Yahweh will give you strength. You won’t feel great all the time. You will be sad, confused and angry. Just don’t sin because of those emotions. Tell your feelings the facts. That Yahweh is in control and will meet your every need.
Tell our Heavenly Father exactly how you feel, EVERYTIME you need to. I promise you, the comfort will come. He does it for me daily. Just KEEP PRAYING and TRUSTING in Him!!! Not yourself. Not her. Not your feelings. Just HIM!!! I love you my brother!!! My email is lawrencedacus@gmail.com if you ever need to vent. I will give you my cell number there. Hold on. Yahweh is good!!!

September 1, 2017 at 10:46 pmFather, thank you for this Dad and his request. I ask that you protect the hearts and minds of these 3 children. Let them look to You and trust You completely. Show this Dad how to follow You closely so that his children will feel secure, safe, loved and strong to walk the walk with him and You, too. Speak to his wife and direct her. If staying together is what You want for this family then I ask that you intervene and hault the divorce proceedings. Open her eyes, open her ears and cause her to trust and obey You above all else. Guard this man’s heart and mind. Give him wisdom and discernment. May he stand for Truth and be the leader You have created him to be. Into Your hands I commit this family. I ask that You have Your way in their lives. Thank you for them. Draw them close to You. Be glorified! Remind them all to walk by faith and not by sight. Thank You, Jesus! Amen. Blessings to you and your family, brother. Keep your armor on…pray continually and you will overcome and your family will be blessed. Fight the good fight!

You dearly love each member of this family. I beg your hand of protection on each as they navigate life through this painful time. Please send Your Holy Spirit of comfort and truth to keep their hearts and minds in Your peace.
Father, Abba, especially be with the children. Bless them with parents, friends and family members who will understand and guide them. Grant the parents the grace and peace to work together for the good of their children, even in difficult times as they go through these changes.
I ask all this in Your Holy and Precious Name.
Amen,

I know your arms are around this family right now. May each one feel your comfort today and look to you for continued strength. True & lasting happiness can only come from a growing relationship with you so I pray each member of the family will turn to you in this difficult time and come to see that you are their rock and salvation. Amen.
