HangingByaFaith

As quickly as the Lord encourages my husband, the devil is right there taunting him. I can tell he is depressed this morning. Maybe it's because of the guilt he feels. I started to have the same fears, but prayed through the verses many of you left. This is one day at a time, and I pray for the strength to get through it. Blessings to you here at Worthy. Michelle

Thank you again Candi. Today was a great day at church. Since I read all of the messages you wonderful friends wrote, I've been on my knees several times. Then at church today my husband was overwhelmingly greeted with nearly every guy he was ever in men's groups with, from our church. Our church is gigantic, and we could attend without seeing any of our friends on a given sunday. But today it was amazing. I would say there were probably 10 guys who approached him with a hug. He asked for the phone # of 1 guy who is the communications minister of our church. i PRAY they get together. Thank you all so much. You have reached out to a total stranger, and used by G-d to minister His message to me. Through His word. G-d bless you all! Michelle Ask God to take away your husbands desire for that drug, that he wouldn't like it anymore, ask the Holy SPirit to speak to him about it, ask God to send Laborers in your husbands path, well seasoned laborers prepared to plant seed, ask that those laborers be all around him. Pray protection over him of course and watch what the Lord does. That is just what G-d did today!! At least part of this. I love when we see what God does when we pray for our spouses!! YES G-d was so encouraging today! Remember not to look on the situation-but that the end result-Jesus-Walk by faith and not by sight. God can still bless you through a disobedient husband-Just make sure to do what the Lord Says concerning your relationship with your husband. AMEN Great words of advice!

Wow, Thank you candi. that was such a timely message. I am having a really really bad night. He walked out on me when i confronted him about how sad it makes me when he is high (he used what he said was the last of his stash tonight). This was after spending the day, today, with our church friends serving at a homeles shelter and praying together. Don't you know that God can bless you through him. Believe me, bitterness drys the bones, the Lord showed me that in a big way, He introduced me to an elderly woman who was still dwelling on her youth, on what her husband did to her, I wasn't letting it go in the same manner, she told me, you know when I went to the doctors that they couldn't see all my bones, some were darkened, that scripture came to mind and on the way home-I heard in my spirit "do you want that for your life", I said, No", I started to pray for her often-in person, and sometimes on my own, I think God did some work on her prior to going to heaven. God will bless him with a good job for your sake-He will and can do that. Keep praying for him and don't get bitter!

Thank you so much, Kari. I have so many fears right now. He isn't even home right now. He left and said he was going to find a place to stay. How much more can I take? Michelle quote name='kari20' date='Jan 5 2008, 10:58 AM' post='1074908'] God hasn't forgotten you, dear heart. He promised to never leave you, nor forsake you...ever. He cannot lie. Your husband has the same free will you have. He chooses to not serve the Lord as he should - while you choose rightly to serve the Lord your God. God will reward you for your faithfulness in the midst of trouble. While your husband will receive what he is due for his disobedience. God is a God of mercy, but He is also a God of justice. Your present trouble will indeed pass. Hold onto that which is good, and do not worry for your future. It is all in God's hands. May you be covered with the mighty, healing blood of Jesus! And may all the blessings of heaven rain down upon you! In Jesus name, amen.

Thank you very much. Michelle

Thank you so much for your prayer!! Michelle

Thank you for that great reminder. Michelle

Been waiting 18 months for the dawn. When will it come? Come Lord Jesus. Thank you for your supportive words.

Thank you, Nathele. That was so encouraging, I can't thank you enough. We go to a fantastic Bible centered church where we are challanged weekly. He has a men's bible study, and we have a couple's bible study during the week. It is like he is 2 different persons in one. He knows the bible intimately, yet he makes such nonChristian decisions. You are right, I can not let his actions come between me and God. thank you so very much, Michelle

Thank you so very much, Rebekah. That means so much to me to know another person is praying for my situation. Michelle

Ok. I was not sure the exact location it fit under since it was my first post.

My name is Michelle, I am new to this site. I am a Christ Follower of many decades. Haven't known any other life. I was divorced years ago, and remarried, to a Christian, for 6 years. I have 2 young'ens. I am feeling so desperate today. I know I am most likely being selfish, but here is my earlier prayer written out: Dearest Lord and Savior, I don't get it! I feel like I have devoted myself to you, doing daily devotions, praying daily, worshipping you corporately several times a week, yet I feel like i'm Job. My husband has been given so much, yet he treats those blessings like trash. He had nothing 10 years ago, but lived for you, G-d. Four years later you blessed him with a doting wife, great doctors who care for his illness, a mentor that seeks him out, a potentially great full time job, and he just spits in your face and mine by dabbling in drugs, walking away from you, and treating me poorly. The world is all about him, what he wants, what can he get to satisfy himself. Yet I strive to serve you daily, G-d! Blessings are not my motivation for doing unto you Lord. But i do struggle with the fact that my heart is broken time after time after time. It's so frustrating! I almost can't stand looking at him dripping with blessings that he just takes for granted. He won't do anything that doesn't serve him and want he wants. How can I live like this and NOT become bitter??? I know you are a great G-d, and won't punish me for telling you these things. I resolve to continue in faith, but can i get a break? Please? AMEN Thank you, Worthy Board Members for letting me share this with you. I needed to "say" it outloud. I ask for your prayers over this mess. Michelle
