Prayer Please

Here I am before you all today asking for prayer. It seems everyone I know is being hit and hit hard by the enemy. The simple fact that we are children of the most high is reason enough for him to attack us in every area of our lives. In my current situation, Raymond has allowed me to remain in our home with the children but had given me 3 days in which to raise 975.00 (I’ve not yet done that and have exceeded my 3 days) I’m fearful of his next step. I’m asking for prayer in every area of our lives. Our children are so disappointed in their dad, that many times they’ve said “Dad? I don’t have one of those!” That in and of itself breaks my heart, but what can I do for him?



I know that Raymond has a calling on his life; I can feel it so deep within my soul that my heart aches for him. He is so lost and manipulated by the enemy that everything he held nearest and dearest to his heart has nearly slipped completely away, just like the sands on the shore. He continues to be with as many other women as he can; telling the OW in NJ she is the only one, she is NOT. What is going on? His finances are in trouble, he owes everyone and keeps buying on credit, and this is SO NOT MY Raymond



Financially I’m a wreck. In one breath he told me he wanted me to stay in the house until our children graduate high school, I was relieved and didn’t save a dime. I was buying groceries every week and paying the bills. A little over a week later, he told me that he had changed his mind and wanted me out, SHOCKED I began to panic. 3 days later he sends me a text message telling me that he was moving out and I could keep the house in lieu of child support, relieved again I was able to breathe. On 7/3 he said that in order for me to stay I needed to come up with 975.00 so he could move out. Being that it was a holiday week resources were very short. All of the organizations I’ve called have all told me there is NO assistance out there. I’ve been working like crazy to find some help, I need a financial blessing in a huge way, please please pray for me in this area!



Work has been difficult, I’m blessed to have a job which is close to home and understanding of my situation, but I’m 4 months over my review and that is troubling me, not to mention my immediate supervisor has had an attitude with me a lot lately and I cant figure out why! Please pray for my job security!



My children are struggling and confused. They want a normal family they want our family to be restored and participate in things like we used to do. They continue to plead their case before the throne and still see nothing changing for the better. They have even told me they feel last on the list of family restoration and that it feels like God is just to busy with the major issues of the world to deal with this “Petty stuff” I’ve tried to encourage them but that is hard when I, myself need encouragement. I just don’t know what to do anymore, what to pray anymore, how to feel anymore. I feel Lost and alone and although I know that I’m not, I still feel as though I am.



My dearest friends are struggling with their prodigals just being mean and uncaring and I so desperately want to help them but how, when I can’t seem to help myself? What good am I to ANYONE at this point in my life? I’m not living, just merely existing, spending every chance I can in prayer, trying to be still and know! When will things change? When will there be SOME light at the end of MY tunnel? I’m sorry to drop all of this on you, I know each of you have your own issues but I just needed to get this off my chest before it explodes. I need prayer and tons of it. I pray everyday that God will place me on the hearts of many just so I can feel different. I need a breakthrough before I have a breakdown.

Thank you all and I appreciate your support!

I will pray for the areas mentioned on your list, for you to have wisdom and guidance and peace. One thing I have personally found that helps is to go before the Father with just one request at at time (or whatever you want of course) and remind Him of James 1:5,6 where He promises to give wisdom generously to those who need it, without finding fault. If you need wisdom and if you've got faults (like all of us) then you qualify. The trick is to not waver, after asking as mentioned in James 1:7 (anyway, again, this is what has helped one person, me). When that topic comes to mind and you want to pray again or fret, just instead praise. Praise Abba that He heard your prayer and will answer in His good time. This a person might have to do a hundred times, or not much. The answer could come the next day, or over a month from now. We don't get to pick the timing.

Then, when you hear from Him, when the wisdom answer comes, as Yahushua's/Jesus' mother Mary said to the servants at the wedding feast, "Whatever He tells you to do, do it." Then, onto the next prayer...We always, always need wisdom. And it's free.

Just a thought.

Lord God, move upon this man to repent, and show Genna that there is NOTHING she can do for him. I truly see that this is one of those cases where she must leave him at the alter. She must quit trying to "fix" it, for she can not. Only YOU can do this. Even if she has to divorce him for the cause of fornication (Matthew 5:31 & 32), You can change this. Help Genna to have courage to do whatever You tell her by way of direction. Help her to hear for You. When our thoughts are racing and wrestling, it's SO HARD to hear You.... Please help Genna to hear Your voice, to truly know what You are telling her, to know for sure it's You. Give her courage and willingness to obey. Father, show Genna the right way to go, so that this will be to the best benefit of all and to Your glory.

What we want, Lord, is for Raymond to love the Lord his God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength and to love his neighbor (wife and children) as himself. Please let Raymond love You more than these other women, more than even his wife and children. Let him put YOU first in all things, and in this find the true satisfaction and happiness he is looking for.

I pray, Father, that You will be a Father to these children. Let them find in You the sweetest, most beautiful realtionship. Fill all the empty places in them. Heal them and make them whole. Instead of believing You have forsaken or forgotten them, let them begin to look for YOU -- not for what You can do for them -- but for Who You are. Let them find the treasure to be found in YOU and YOU alone.

Be Genna's Husband. Comfort and encourage and provide for her in every way. Be her satisfaction, happiness and wholeness. May she bring her heart to You for healing. May she not go to things that don't satisfy, but YOU alone.

I ask and pray these things, in Jesus Name, amen.


I read some of your story before, but I am not clear: Are you divorced or just seperated? I know the Lord hates divorce, but it is permitted in cases of the husband or wife having continued affairs (scripture reference above). You need to be getting spousel maintainance or child support or both. He can't be making YOU pay for him to move out! This is messed up! I know it's painful, but divorce is your greatest protection in this situation.

I know it's horribly devistating (I have seen this with my sister's kids), but you need to protect them from this man SPIRITUALLY. He is setting a horrible examle for his children, and you need to take decisive action that shows them that his behavior is unacceptable. The way he is now, you surely would not want him back. Turn him over to Satan for the ultimate saving of his soul. LET HIM GO!

This was written to the Corinthian church, but think of it as being written to your family. He was not saying you were guilty of the sin, but he was saying that you should not associate with the sinner for a time:

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! 2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

(So, don't let your husbands sinful activities leaven the lump -- influence your children). I know it's hard to not have some contact with him, but, as much as possible, cut him out of your lives and give him over -- that he may eventually come to repentance unto salvation. You must leave him, now, to God's dealings.

I am trying to condense what might be many weeks of counseling sessions into one post.... so it sounds kind of blunt.... I fear I may not have come across in a gentle manner. I am trying to tell the truth in love, and I am not sure I am doing well. I can feel the pain and confusion you struggle with.... But a divorce, that the Bible says is OK in your case, would help with you getting the finances you need for yourself and your children. I am not saying divorce is what God wants, but Matthew says you CAN divorce in such a case, and I believe God allows that for your protection. Right now, this IS who your husband is, so you have to make a stand for you and your children.

Lord, cover this in grace, that Genna is not offended. Help her to see the love in which I offer the advice.... and help her to truly let him go unto the ulitmate saving of his soul.
