A Prayer Request

We are about to embark on something that we have never done before.  We are asking you, our readers, to add a name to your prayer list.  We get emails from time to time asking for more specific advice about a situation involving a prodigal spouse.  We've been in contact with a lady...let's call her "Judy" for privacy sake...about her and her situation with her spouse.  She has been standing and she is getting tired.

"Judy's" husband has moved out and is living with another woman....even though he says there is nothing going on.  She has two young children; one of which is experiencing some health issues.  She was recently evicted from her apartment.  She is also involved in a business venture with her husband; she owns it, he runs it.

In corresponding with "Judy", we have seen a stander's heart that is unwilling to give up the fight.  She is willing to do whatever is needed to bring her husband home and allow God to restore their marriage.  She has admitted that she is tired and wants to take a break.  However, in a battle this serious, we cannot take a break from our stand.

This is where you come in....will you pray with us for "Judy"?  Even though we have few public followers, we know that there are hundreds out there that read this blog daily.  We are asking you to pray with us, battle with us, and help hold up "Judy's" arms in this time of need.

A few days ago we wrote about how everything has a season and a right time.  Well, this is a time of sowing seeds of full marital restoration into the life of someone else.  You may be experiencing many of the same things.  Sow seeds now, reap a harvest of your own marital miracle and restoration later.  That's God's laws of sowing and reaping...it's not something we made up.

However, we need to issue a warning.  If you choose to step into this fight with us and "Judy", you will experience the attack of the enemy.  He does not want the saints of God joining together in unity for the sake of a tired soldier.  The devil wants to see "Judy" fail and her family in shreds and he will attack any that get in his way.  But, that outcome for "Judy" and her family is something that we cannot sit by and watch happen.  This past 2 days or so we have seen the enemy attack our marriage and family.  So, be warned.

Also, be encouraged....because WE WIN!!!  The Bible says this...

1 John 4:4

But you belong to God, my dear children.

You have already won a victory over those people,

because the Spirit who lives in you is greater

than the spirit who lives in the world.

In your prayer time, pray with these things in mind...

1. that this other woman would be moved out of "Judy's" husband's life.
2. the "Judy's" husband would come home.
3. that "Judy" would remain firm in her stance and would experience the fullness of God in her life.
4. that "Judy's" husband's heart would be soft towards God and "Judy".
5. that until her husband's return, "Judy" would know the miraculous provision her loving Heavenly Father.

P.S.  We felt lead by the Holy Spirit to do this.  It does not mean that we will highlight your circumstance because you write to us.  We are happy to pray with and for you.  This blog was never meant for self-promotion or for the sharing of griefs.  Although we may do this again in the future, it is to be considered an exception, not the rule.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
