I am recently separated from my husband of 18yrs... We have had our ups and downs..I have been able to forgive him for his cheating on me 3 times.. We have two teenage girls one of which he is close with and the other he's not.. About 6 weeks ago we were working things out and possibly getting back together...Then he changed his mind, he completely cut me out of his life, he only called to talk to the kids and that was it..Well needless to say that was hurtful to me because he kept changing his mind.. Well he have done this a couple times before but were always able to find one another again..Now we are divorcing because he has found someone else and has moved in with her...She is a little younger than he is and has 2 small children. I Know that our break up was because of us being unable to communicate like we should have, but thats something I am living with...I know this sounds typical but the catch to mine is that my husband was a licensed minister and gave it up...We worked so hard and over came many obstacles and he gave it up a couple years ago....He has had a calling on his life since he was a child.. His dad was a preacher for 30 years, he grew up a preachers kid..He is one that won't play church.. Either he is in or he's out...At this point and time he is out.. Way out...I am worried about his soul and what will happen to him if he doesn't get things right with God...He is so miserable that he is searching for anything that makes him feel good.. He's already had two small strokes and it has affected the way he talks...So he used this as an excuse not to teach the word....He would sometimes get tongue tied and that frustrated him.. So I guess what I am asking is that you pray for him and his soul that he gets himself staight and continue the calling that he has on him.. When he used to preach he was awesome he could reach people in a special way..If I am no longer a part of that I will can acccept that, I just want him to be able to see his loved ones again in heaven...Although he is soon to be my ex that burden weighs heavy on me...I was the one who prayed for him the last time we went through this and we worked it out and he became a preacher..I don't think we will get back together only God knows. I just want him being the person I know he can be and not the one he is right now....So please lift him up in your prayers because when 2 or 3 are gathered in prayer great things can happen..Also pray for our kids so that they can acccept what has happened and that they can find peace in the situation...Thanks..and God bless you..

Dear Father, I ask You to accomplish Your will in the lives of this family. Please restore all mentioned here to full fellowship with You, as only You know how. Please be with this dear woman and her children, give them comfort in what You are allowing, and help them to see the blessings that are sure to follow them as they walk with You in Your decision. Provide the finances, and the help they need to make these changes in their lives. You have promised to never leave or forsake Your own, and I ask that You show them just how near You are to them in Your word also. Protect them both physically, and mentally in this situation as you heal the hurt, and loneliness they face. Thank You Father for listening to me and this family, and may we glorify You in all things we do in Jesus’ name. Amen
May God bless you Treena with all wisdom at this time, to know what to do in Jesus’ blessed name - larry :)

I am on the verge to getting a divorse or to seperate for a while from my wife.
We been married for over 20 years but enough is enough,
My wife has the last word in everything, and even tells me when to eat and not to eat, where to go and etc.
I can't take this life of legalism any more.
Please pray for me also, as I will pray for you.
I have two kids to lose here in Germany.
Maybe I might come back to USA and give up my dreams , viosions and etc.
But I am afraid because the bible say my people perish for ´no vision and a lack of knowledge.

Thanks for the post..I understand what you're saying.. My soon to be ex was the same way.. He was very controlling and I had little freedom..I couldnt go anywhere that he was calling me and checking on where I was and how long I would be.. He will always believe to the day he dies that I had cheated on him and I hadn't but he was always trying to justify what he had done and was doing.. I will keep you in my prayers....Keep the faith....

You are an amazing woman. At a time that can be so difficult for you, you have opened your heart and put the person causing you the hurt high in your prayers. I do hope that he will re-realize his true calling. I pray for all of you that all will work out for the best for you.
Treena,
Based on what you wrote, you are an incredibly strong woman and I commend you for your committment to your husband's spiritual destiny inspite of all the turmoil. I pray that God will bring the necessary restoration to your relationship with him and that God will bless your home with peace.
My husband's father and grandfather are heavily involved in christian ministry and he often feels the pressure of that heritage. It's not easy to have that strong ministerial background. One thing that I've been helping him work through is developing his own relationship with God, independent of his family's influence. I'm not sure if this is a big part of your husband's struggle, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
May God Bless you richly as your work through this and I pray that your husband finds his way back to the one and only truth.

Thanks for the prayers....I guess I realize that I know what he can be and what he was and I know that he can be that again and so much more...besides I have to realize that this is just the enemy working hard against a man called of God and I refuse to give into that no matter how much he has hurt me....He has many people that care about him that have passed on and I would like for him to see them again....To me no matter how much pain I have endured its not worth him going to hell over so I figured all the prayer I can get will help change things...Enlight of the situation I have been told by others that I was incredibly strong do endure what I have and I guess I don't realize it....My husbands father was also a minister and he never got the chance to see his son fulfill his calling....But I know that his dad is in heaven watching over him.... And your right it's hard to fullfill the heritage of preaching...But when my husband was in it he was awesome and could reach people like I have never seen...So thats whay my prayer is that he gets to that point again and then have more of God's annointing of him than before, even if I am not a part of his life at that point...Anyways.. thanks for the reply and just keep the prayers coming.....I KNOW that prayer can change things.....
