In order to ask for continued prayer I need to explain all that took place. It started in 2001 when my wife and I first got together. Two years later, I lost my job. After going to the VA hospital I was put on mood stabilizers. Over the years, rather than stabilizing my moods, it made them worse with rage entering the picture. Along with this, after losing my job I hid behind the computer and started losing myself in pornography. I no longer spent any time with my wife and she's walked in on me more than once viewing porn and masturbating. Things continued to spiral out of control as I remained rebellious to God. It finally came to a head last week when we fought and I hurt her physically for the first time. I was arrested on the 23rd and attempted to commit suicide. I was stopped and afterwards turned my heart to God. I've been in constant prayer with him since then. I've met with a pastor and will begin counseling. I've stopped the mood stabilizers and removed the computers from my life completely (having my wife pick them up so they are out of the house). My prayer request is twofold: I want God to make permanent change in my life so I am a God-fearing, gentle man absent of any thoughts of hostility or anger, free from any distractions that would take me away from facing life and giving the proper attention to my wife. The second is this: that healing come to my wife and God's healing power repair our marriage. I know it's not too late. God has given me numerous signs that he doesn't want this marriage to end. All things are possible. I need to know God's love so fully that I can give the love that overflows to others, primarily and foremost my wife. My wife's name is Stacey and mine is Marc. Please pray continuously for us? Thank you from the bottom of my heart. One last thing: I'm not glad my wife was hurt. However, I am glad things came to the point they did because I never would have desired to or made the steps to change that I have. God permitted me to come to the point I did so he could literally bring me back from the dead. Now pray that the changes bear the fruit he wants. ~Marc~

Lord,

I uplift this couple to your throne and ask that you bring healing and restoration and if you can use the above website to lead to healing for this couple Lord, speak to them both.

Help them Lord as they commit to you and to each other to cling to your promises and your word and to stand on your solid rock.

Lord, help this man do like Joseph did, when temptation came, he fled all temptation and clung to you Lord. Help him to flee temptation Lord, and come running into your safe , protective arms.

We thank you for the healing you have already done and the healing you are going to do in this couples life. Bring forgiveness, understanding and hope Lord through the darkeness. Give this son of yours a sound mind and peace that passes all understanding too.

We ask this in your precious name, we pray.

Amen.

Lord, Only You can heal our wounds. Please completely heal Marc and Stacey's relationship. We pray that both of them will put you above everything else. Please help Marc to resist the devil, and to learn to refute all temptation with your Word. Help him to realize that you will forgive those who repent, and that our sins are truly washed away by the shed blood of our Savior. Please heal Stacey's heart and body, show her your grace in your Son, and keep your angels by her side and by Marc's side. Bind any efforts of satan or his demons to affect their minds, bodies, and souls, and let the Holy Spirit fill them completely. We pray this all for Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen
