what is going on? after a separation, my husband returned home on the 4th of July. i thought things were going to be different but we have done nothing but argue. how very short lived was my joy and my hopefulness!!!! i take responsibility for one of the arguments where i brought up something i am still having a difficult time forgiving him for. but, on the other hand, he has come back with this attitude that he was a nice guy and things did not work out. thus, now it almost seems as if he wants things to be "his way" or no way". sigh!!!! what is going on? i spent a long time crying last night. this is not the way it was supposed to be. what am i doing wrong? what are we doing wrong? please pray for us!

flowerchild,

God never said that the road to restoration or path to His will would be easy. In fact, He says that the right road is often a long, thorny one. Makes us strong in mind and soul when we get to our goal. I do not personally know your situation, but I do know that we have to wait on the Lord to complete our lives. He is always working our miracle, and we need to constantly praise Him and thank Him for it, no matter what the situation holds at any given time. Good times and bad times - always praise Him. It is difficult to wait but it is necessary for many things, including our spiritual wellbeing. You say that things have not changed with your husband and the situation. Have you asked yourself, and God, about what needs to change in your life in order to allow the Lord to work His miracle? Not just your husband's life, but your life, as well? Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do...to examine our heart and soul and mind to see where we could change. Maybe there is nothing that you can do differently, but many times there are. If things are to work, we cannot have the same attitude that we had when the seperation occurred. Each party to the relationship must admit their individual mistakes and take control to change them. Our father is the only one that can help us with that. I will continue to pray for you in a big way.

Take care and keep looking to God for his guidance and praise him every day.

Praise you, dear Father!!!

Flowerchild,

PRAISE GOD that your hubby is home! Just because he is home though, doesn't mean that satan is just going to say "well, ok, he is home, guess I will just give up on this one." Satan is NOT happy and will try to create discord between you both. It wasn't until about 2 months after I came home that my husband actually apologized for anything....and there are still things that he doesn't see, or sees them as my fault only on a couple of issues. BUT I am believing that as I pray and leave my husband in God's hands, praying for his eyes to be opened that he SEE. But then I always need to make sure that I am praying that he see so that he may ask for forgiveness from His Savior. And I need to make sure that I am not praying that he sees just to justify my flesh....

I am praying in the Spirit for you right now....

Dear Lord, please bring healing and restoration in this marrige. Please heal them INDIVICUALLY. Only two WHOLE people can make a marriage work. Deal with each in growing up and becoming mature in You. That is the real answer. Learning to put You first, even above the marriage, running to You when they are hurting and letting You heal them. Just a constant proccess of coming to You for healing, over and over and over, because it takes so long to get to wholeness. Please, Lord, draw them to You; call them with the Still Small Voice that is louder than all other voices. I will pray in the Spirit now, Jesus. Thank You for healing them, Lord, amen.

Dear Lord, I just want to pray for restoration in my friend's marriage. Lord, I ask that you give flower strength, and Father, I ask that you soften her husband's heart, that you tear down the walls he has built up. Lord, I also ask that Your light shine through flower as she leads Your example. Let her hubby thirst for You as much as she thirsts for You, Father, so that in Your time, they will be one again. Thank You, Father God! AMEN

dear all:

sigh! thank you so much for your prayers. things are just as difficult as ever. last night he told me he has lost his faith. how can we move forward if he does not even believe anymore. what is happening? i had worked very hard during our separation to work on my relationship with the Lord, to regain peace, faith and strength. in the past two weeks with nothing but anger, resentment and criticism, i feel sad, discouraged and as if i have made a mistake. i really, really need your prayers. i feel tired, depressed and confused. when is our breakthrough going to happen? will it be too late when it does? my husband does not smile, he does not look happy to be back. why did he come back? he feels depressed about not being able to find a good job, he feels angry about having lost his mom to cancer (7 years ago), about having lost the great job he had, about our separation, about "not getting a break"... he is so angry and i receive the full blunt of all that resentment. he was/is kind, patient, sweet, loving, understanding, etc. but, the man that came back is none of those things. what happened to my hubby? what did the devil do? why doesn't God intervene in this situation? we had an appointment for marriage counseling today only to find out we had a $500.00 deductible we cannot pay! so, i had to cancel the appointment! please help! we need a breakthrough and quickly! as i sit here typing i cannot help but to keep back the tears from falling. this is so hard! so hard! please pray for us!!!! thank you and may the Lord bless you, bless you indeed!

Have you done all of these things yet?


Here's the best way to handle attacks either spiritually or physically:

Matthew 11
29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."


1 Peter 5:6
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

John 15
4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Psalm 46
10 "Be still, and know that I am God

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.


Philippians 4:8
Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise think on these things

Ephesians 6
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

1 Chronicles 16
11 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.

2 Chronicles 7
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Zephaniah 1
7 Be silent before the Sovereign LORD

Isaiah 40:31

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint"

1 Peter 5

5 ... All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
Live in these scriptures and walk in them and watch Jesus use you as never before

Flowerchild,

I can sort of relate to your husband at this point concerning the whole job situation. When my husband and I seperated, well my husband wanted me out of the house, so I left. I had to quit a job that I loved, absolutely LOVED doing and I was good at it I want to add. Well, when I came home my job was still available but they were getting ready to hire someone else but asked if I wanted it back.....I told them no, that if the person they offered it too doesn't want it, then I will take it back and I prayed and prayed and prayed that the Lord's will would be done. Well, that person ended up taking it and so I believed that the Lord would have something else for me. It is almost 7 months later and I have sent out 50 resumes, I have a BA and a MA and I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE SINGLE PROFESSIONAL JOB. The Lord has had little odd jobs come up periodically, and it has been enough for us to get by since my hubby had back surgery last October and has not been released yet to go back to work. He will SOON in the name of Jesus. I have had several interviews and each time I just pray that the door is opened or closed as the Lord wills it, and so far many of the doors have closed or remained closed.

I share this because I have struggled with depression concerning this issue. I believe with all my being that the Lord is going to provide for me and my husband. My husband is even now standing and believing and lately when I have been down, my husband tells me to remember what I tell him hehehehehe That the Lord is working!!!! He has a plan and a purpose and it is all in HIS timing. We just need to be patient. And when he is down, that is exactly what I tell him. Allow the Lord to give you the kind and loving words to tell your dear sweet hubby, even during the times he isn't being a dear, sweet hubby. May your words be like honey, and the words from the Lord be like rain to his soul, which is PARCHED right now. I know that my husband has struggled with not being able to even WORK right now, he feels that he can't provide for me, and during those times I tell him that he was never providing for me to begin with because it is the LORD that provides all our NEEDS, HE provides the JOB, HE provides the food and shelter, HE provides a way when there seems to be no way!!!!! I know that there are times, that I struggle with a DEEP DEEP rejection. I mean let's face it, 50 resumes and NOT A SINLGE JOB YET???!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? hahahaha Well, that is the lie that satan would like to have me bite, but it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! Cuz I am SOMEBODY to my Lord and Savior and the ONLY thing that is wrong with me, is any flesh that rises up!!! So I am SURE that your husband is battling depression. BIND AND CLAIM BIND AND CLAIM BIND AND CLAIM......Your hubby doesn't feel like a somebody at all right now, satan is filling his mind up with all these lies, he feels like a nobody. Pray to see him like the Lord sees him right now, he is a broken man, so so sad inside right now. But the Lord will heal him, completely!!! And HE WILL HEAL YOUR MARRIAGE COMPLETELY WOOOO HOOOOO

IT IS NOT A MISTAKE THAT YOUR HUSBAND HAS COME HOME, FLOWERCHILD. GOD DOESN'T PERFORM MISTAKES HE PERFORMS MIRACLES AND IT WAS GOD THAT BROUGHT YOUR HUBBY HOME. Would Satan bring him home to restore your marriage? WOOOO HOOOO THANK YOU LORD!!! (Capitals are for emphasis only )
