Prayers so needed for Anxiety, my family, the Lord's presence...Please!!

If my impending divorce is God's will, shouldn't I have peace about it? And yet, here I am filled with anxiety as I fill out the very intrusive paperwork for the court. Deep in my heart I know this is wrong. But my husband has had an affair and wants our marriage to end. I do have anger over what he did and it would take a lot of work to fix and forgive, but I think I am willing to try-now, if only the Lord would put the same on his heart. To put on his heart (and mine too) a spirit of meekness and obedience so that the Holy Spirit can work. It is truly urgent that the Lord act before it's too late but again, if it's His will, shouldn't I have peace about it!? And how can the destruction a family with children ever be His will?

I just don't understand it. Isn't family worth fighting for?!

If you pray for me and my family, I would so appreciate it. Satan and his demons need to be taken down from my family immediately!!

Thanks for listening!

Father God, we pray for HisPeace and family, Lord have your mercy upon them and bless. Lord remove the power of darkness and you shine. Lord we pray for your healing, peace, understanding to come upon HisPeace, Lord please bless husband and wife and help them to obey you. Lord we bring this matter to you and pray, please bless. In Jesus gracious name, Amen!

I just prayed for you sis...



Yes! Family is worth fighting for!

God bless you and your family ❤

Please pray for me for a godly husband and restoration if my family

i am so sorry.

i think it's a common misconception in the Church that we'll have peace about a situation if it's God's will.
i'm not saying this impending divorce is the will of God, just that plenty of times i know in my own life God's will was done, yet peace was far from me. that was my own doing, tbh.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. (Is 26:3)

The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4: 4b-7)

i have prayed for you. may God's will be done.

Not everything that happens is God's will. If your spouse Chooses, of his own free will, to cheat and divorce, that's not God's will. That's someone exercising their free will. People are given that freedom to decide to act opposite of God's will. Have you ever sinned? Then you've done the same.
God may very well be trying to change your husband's heart, but He can't force anyone. Your husband is acting against God, willfully, so he's not even trying to hear or obey God. More often than not these situations do not end according to God's will because people aren't following Him to begin with.
This is part of your confusion and lack of peace. A misunderstanding of how God works, creating false expectations on how you believe things should happen.

Satan may be involved, somehow, but ultimately your husband is still making his own choices. Satan can tempt, coerce and attempt to influence but nothing more.

Sometimes having a proper understanding of how God functions is part of what brings us peace, or opens us up to receive His peace. When living under a wrong belief about God it creates wrong expectations which robs us of God's peace.

Sorry this is all happening to you. It is an all too common occurrence in the church. Not just divorce itself, but all the things that lead to it. Just keep trusting God will work things out (which may not be your will or wants, but that He will work things for good, one way or another) in the end. Just cling to Him and His truth. And keep working on forgiveness no matter the outcome.
I have a friend that was cheated on multiple times before getting divorced, they still struggle, at times, and get affected by it all. But they also continually strive to grow out of those effects to be free. And God is helping her. He can do the same for you.

Family is indeed fighting for and that is why the infidelity of your husband is so destructive to your marriage. A man that loves his wife will not event think about cheating on her let alone actually do it.

The only thing wrong is what your husband did and nothing that you did. It is biblically acceptable to divorce on the grounds of infidelity and my counsel is to proceed with the divorce process and not look back.

There are many others here that have suffered the heartbreak of infidelity so please know that you're not alone. The only way peace will return to you is for you to have closure and move forward in your life.

I have prayed for you and your family.

Yes, family is worth fighting for!!!
Start with praying for strength, and strive to become the best version of yourself possible... It is more about 'what your do' than 'what you say'...
I will pray for you and your family...

God Bless you!

Even though God says it's ok to leave a spouse because of infidelity, it doesn't mean the sin won't hurt. You don't have a peace because it's not God's will that your husband sin against you, and sin against Him. Bad choices affect more than just the person in the wrong. The two of you became one, right? So the severing apart hurts. But yes, I would love to pray for you.

Father, I pray for my friend now who is trying to see this situation from your perspective, and straining to know the right thing to do, the right way to act, and the right way to feel. I pray you will lead her and guide her in paths of righteousness for your name sake, and show her clearly which path to take. You are a God of restoration, and we pray you will cause her husband's heart to turn tender and pliable so that he may become clay in the potter's hand. We ask you to tear down every stonghold that has wrapped itself around her husband's thinking and that you will release him from the snare of the devil's lies. We pray in your precious redeeming name, amen.

Philippians 4:13

Thank you ToniB. Do you think God ends marriages? I have wondered this myself but of course, his word tells us that he hates divorce.

Thank you Devin02 ! Ahhhh...so good....I just love God's word. I am going to post that beside my desk!

I am so terribly sorry you and your children are going through this.
Awful to see a brother or sister in pain. We are all members of His Body. When one hurts, we all hurt.
I love that you want to please the Lord and forgive and reconcile with your husband. I believe that is pure and good.
Unfortunately, it sounds like he doesn't want to confess and repent of his sin to you and God.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you would strengthen Your faithful daughter, and give her Your Peace that passes all understanding. Be with her children as they are hurting as well.
All things are possible with You Lord, so please give her husband NO REST, til he confesses his sin and makes amends. In Jesus sweet Name I pray.

Thank you PennEd for your words of encouragement and for your prayer! I so appreciate your understanding, and everyone who has been kind enough to reply and pray. I know I am not alone in these struggles and it seems that marriages are falling apart left and right-even Christian ones. Regardless of what happens to me, as long as I have my Lord I know I will be okay.

I also pray daily for our Lord's return so that we may all be set free from this place of turmoil and trouble, healed and given peace and rest with our Beautiful and Wonderful Lord, Jesus Christ! I can't wait for that day!!

Hello Friend, I am sorry to hear about what you're going through. I want you to know that you're not alone. As a single, I don't know what it is to be in your shoes, but I do know what it's like to be betrayed. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It's not easy to forgive, and it will take trust and hope in Christ to get to a place where you can. We may forgive with head knowledge, but surrendering the pain to Christ allows us to forgive from the heart. I've grown most in this area when I surrendered my will to the Lord's and allowed Him to surround me with His community of people. We're not alone, but sometimes, we need to have faith to take a step on the water. I encourage you to seek out someone who can walk alongside both you and your husband. I read about this marriage intensive and hope you may find answers and guidance Have You Lost Hope in Your Marriage? | Focus on the Family Keep in touch. Praying you through.

I'm so sorry for your pain (((HUGS))) I'm praying for you and your family.
