I am a Christian, my husband isn't. We've been married nearly 5 years and for the 3rd time, he has left us.
He never really has a reason and this time it was the craziest time yet. We just got custody of his 15 year old son and are waiting to hear from the judge as to when we can go pick him up!
I'm at a loss as to know what to do. I've been praying all day and all I know so far is that I won't be the one to file for divorce. Each time he's left, he's come back in anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, but how do I know it's God's will that I take him back. I found out he's been lying to me, probably our entire marriage.
He needs Jesus but is fighting harder than I've ever seen anyone fight it.
Please help me/us.
Thank you.
Laura

Dear Lord I pray for peace today. I pray for comfort and wisdom. I pray that You would interrupt this agenda and infiltrate it with Your divine agenda from heaven.
Father there seems to be a huge attack on marriage recently. The divorce rate is 50-60% for first time marriages. and 75% and more for second and third marriages.
The Bible says that this is clearly a sign of the end times ...the love of most will grow cold!
Father I pray that You would release peace into the troubled marriages here today. I pray for comfort and hope in the name of Jesus. I pray for order in the house--Your divine order today in Jesus name.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Lord, rebuke the attacks of the enemy who desires to bring confusion to this marriage. 
In the name of Jesus.

Father God, comfort and still Laura. I pray she will be quiet before You, so she can hear Your voice. Flood her with peace. I ask that she will BE STILL AND KNOW YOU ARE GOD.
There is a scripture, Lord, that says if she unbeliever departs, let him go.... we are called to peace in such cases. But if her husband keeps coming back, what should Laura do? He has not officially decided to go, so by that Bible scripture she can not necessarily just let him go.... 
This is a hard one.
Dear Lord, remove the spirit of confusion form Laura! I can imagine how her thoughts must swirl. Give her YOUR HOLY SPIRIT in mighty measure. Let peace flood her being!
YOUR WILL be done, Lord! Your thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours. Work Your pefect will in this. Let Your Name be glorfied. And work this so the most possible people are saved, healed and delivered, that hell is plundered and heaven populated.
Bring this man to repentance in full. I pray he is convicted by Your Holy Spirit with a heavy hand of conviction. Do not let him be able to fight any longer! I pray he is brought to his knees in repentance! Deal with him, Lord, of his need for You! I ask and pray that You would wash him clean in Your blood, bring him into loving relationship with You, and let him do what is right by his family.
I ask and pray, in Jesus Name, amen.
Dear Laura, perhaps there is a better user name than "HurtingWife." This name speaks of relying on your husband to remove your hurt -- when he finally does what's right. You can not live that way, or you may be in for years of hurt. Your husband can not heal your hurt; only GOD can. I would think a name like "WholeinHIM" would be far better. Begin to see yourself as AN INDIVIDUAL, not as a woman attached to a man. You must become whole and complete in Jesus Christ, no matter what your husband does. Even if he gets right with God and does right by you and the kids.... GOD comes first. God, alone, is the healer of our hearts and hurts. We must not look to man for this. I would so encourage you to find a name that would speak of something positive, so that everytime you sign on, it will say something positive to you, such as "Overcomer," or "VictoriousChristian" or something.... Rather than your identity being in marriage, let it be in CHRIST. The name you chose speaks a lot about how you see yourself, and I believe that a change of names would be a enforcing the positive rather than the negative. It would be a faith builder for you and your faith in action.

I am in complete agreement with Jeri, please rethink your life and find a new way to look at all this.
It may rescue BOTH of you.
