my husband and i have been separated for a year and a half now. i think we had hopes of reconciling; a lot of time has gone by, and a lot of things have happened. i was willing to do anything for my children; i want them to stop hurting. they want our family back together, but i don't think it's gonna happen.
i let them go to indiana to spend thanksgiving week with their dad; i was so lonely and i missed them so much. i was hoping it would give them a chance to spend some quality time with their dad. he was always a wonderful father. but when they got there, he had a girlfriend. he didn't even tell them about her; she just showed up. she spent every day with them, even putting up the Christmas tree with them and going to look at Christmas lights with them. the children were devestated. they called me, crying, feeling as if their dad was trying to replace me with this other woman.
i think this marriage is pretty much over, and i feel guilty that i couldn't make it work. i am begging for prayer for my children, for their hearts to be mended, for them to be able to move past this big mess. i also pray for our spiritual growth. i hate to admit it, but this has gotten the best of me and i haven't been taking them to church anymore. we need prayer, guidance, and maybe some advice.
please pray for my children; i ask that Christ lift the pain from their little hearts. thank you all for your prayers.

Father,
I cry out to You Lord, for You are our Deliver, our Redeemer. You will not cause for us to stumble, You who place us on a Rock and make us to fly on wings of eagles. I ask Lord for Your amazing work to be done in this marriage. What looks to be dead and gone is just yet another amazing, merciful miracle. You are the same God who declared Ezekiel to say to the bones "DRY BONES HEAR FROM THE LORD." For You are the same God who raised Lazarus from the dead. NOTHING is impossible with You Lord God. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! I pray a hedge of thorns around this man, so that no other relationship can prosper but the one called by You, the one to his wife who is standing and praying for his return. Lord may You pour in Your peace and comfort and healing presence upon this woman right now Lord. May her path be made straight. I pray for healing for her children as this is so very difficult to understand and such a shock to an adult, let alone a child. Oh Lord we cry out for the children. I thank You for Your faithfulness and mighty anointing. May this woman come to a more intimate walk with You as a result of this trial. I pray this all in Jesus' name, Amen

I just really want to encourage you to find a church or return to church and to dig into the Word of God. Claim the promises that He has given each one of us. God bless.
I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD .' Ezekiel 37:14

((((cjash and children)))))
My heart aches for you and for your children especially. I can't promise you that I have alot of wisdom in this area, but I will promise to hold you and your little ones up in prayers. I know it's had to have been a very difficult time for you and if you ever need to talk or vent, please do not hesitate to pm me and I will get back with you a.s.ap. Ok?
Father, I bring this woman and her children before Your Holy presence, beseeching You for healing of their broken hearts. I ask that You camp your angels round about them, and put the shattered pieces back together again. Pour Your Divine love over them and give them peace of mind, soul and a new song in their hearts as they trust You to put their lives together and move on, to your Glory and praise. Direct mom to the church family You want them to be part of, where they can get support, love and help in every need of their lives.
I ask You to also move on this husband/father's heart. Whether it be Your will or not that there is a reconciliation of the family, I trust You to guide and direct this woman, as to what to do next. But Lord, please...tear down the walls of this man's heart, that he be the daddy these children need. Let him put You first and foremost in everything he does and always have a mind for these children.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen and amen

Dear cjash,
You are still a family! You and your dear little one's can have a wonderful, happy home together.
I can't believe how he treated them on their visit. This is your opportunity to help them see him realistically and to learn to accept him as he is and forgive him as they go along.
Being completely honest and open with your children will set the standard for the future. Helping them see that life can be full and happy and secure will ease the transition.
It is important that they know that you are all right. They need one parent that they can count on to do the right thing and meet their practical needs each day.
Making sure that they are in a wonderful, close church group is so key to the recovery.
God be with you as you start your new adventure together.

Lord, please surround these dear one's with your love and healing. Help them make new traditions and memories and enjoy their holiday season.
Keep them safe and meet their needs. Give them wisdom and understanding and patience with each other.
Thank you, Lord.
In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.

Father, I lift this woman and her children up to You. I pray for Your healing hand to gather and put back together the shatter pieces of their hearts. I pray for Your angels to encamp around them. I pray for healing for this family. May this woman know that they are still a wonderful family. I pray that You will lead her to a church home that she and her kids can be a part of. Father, I feel in my spirit that I need to pray for emotional healing for mom and her children. So, I pray for emotional healing. Heal each ache and remove it completely from their lives. May they know that they did nothing wrong. May the children not be affected by the behavior of the earthly father. Just love on them.
Father, I pray for this man/husband/father. May he be convicted of the wrongness of his actions. I pray for his salvation. I pray that he repents of his actions and walk away from this ungodly relationship. I pray that his eyes will open up and he see the wrongness of the way he handled his children's visit. I pray that he will be the father that he is to be to these children and the husband that he is to be to his wife.
In Your name, I pray. Amen

hello everyone, i accidentally created a new screen name, so please bear with me. i really do appreciate all the support and prayers that i got after my post about my children and me. i'm afraid that things aren't much better; their father has stopped sending money for them, and i am struggling. we are close to eviction, and i just pray that my lights and gas don't get turned off.. i'm paying a little to who i can and when i can; hard to make it on just one income now. my daughter seems to be better; my son is very angry. he hates his father and doesn't even want his name anymore. please pray for him especially now, that the anger be removed from his heart so that he can move on. praise that i might get a promotion at work within the next few months; my boss is hoping to promote me to a social worker! this will truly be a blessing. please continue to pray for us; i'm exhausted and my heart is heavy. i just don't know how to go on.
