Hi all,

Please pray for healing in my marriage. We have been married for 10 years and have endured a lot. My husband is in recovery for alcohol and porn addictions. Divorce is not on the table for us. But these addictions have devastated me and our marriage. Even though he’s working on everything, I still have deep wounds. I’m struggling with resentment and unforgiveness. I grieve for all the lost time. On top of all this, I struggle with anxiety, depression and daily headaches, which sometimes turn into severe/debilitating migraines. I do not feel like my experiences or feelings are typically validated by him, which causes me further emotional pain. I often feel like an inconvenience or a burden. In turn, I have a lot of anger towards him and can be very disrespectful. We are seeing a counselor but still fight a lot and we’re both just tired of all of it. It feels like a vicious cycle we can’t get out of. Anyways, thanks for listening and for your prayers. :)

Hi Jenn,

I’m praying for your marriage right now. You are a very strong woman and I admire your strength. My prayer is that God restore what the enemy is trying to destroy in your home. Believe that your home is restored in Jesus name. Be blessed sister.

I will be praying for strength for him to be delivered from his addictions and for you to have comfort and peace . I go to a recovery group that people had the same addictions and have been delivered from them for 30 years or more . Keeping God and keep the faith in God .
