Husband on drugs, I'm pregnant & our marriage falling apart - LB26 - 10-10-2011 02:28 AM
I need A LOT of prayer & support. It has gotten much worse since my last prayer request. I found out that my husband has been pawning our things to buy pills. He even pawned a new laptop that he borrowed from my parents. I was going to leave when things got really bad in august, but he had confessed that it was because he was addicted to pills & that he told everyone at work that he had a serious problem & to not sell any to him. He swore that things would change & that we would have a better life... I am now 2 months pregnant & I thought things were much better, until I found receipts from the things he pawned & my parents told me that they think he stole their prescription pills. Things have gotten physical before & I am afraid of who he can become. After asking him if our family, our daughter was not enough for him, he went in a rage and started throwing things, & cursing me at 3am. I took my daughter & went & cried in the car. I was at the alter today, begging God to help our family and it got so much worse... he came home at 2am, high & saying he fell asleep in the car. I don't know what to do, we have been together since we were 14, married for 6yrs. I told him that I couldn't take it anymore and I was leaving & he was ok with it... he said I try & change him, when I've only wanted what's best for our family. I am so distraught, I'm in so much pain. We can't afford rehab, please pray for God to build our marriage back up, to fill the void in my husbands heart that leads him to drugs & self destruction. For God to work in his heart, as well as mine... for God to protect my daughter & heal her heart from the pain we have caused her.

Father, lead this woman to follow you and to walk away from this husband for now. Let her remember the words of Isaiah 54 where you say you will be her husband...just as you were to the nation of Israel. Father let her put her safety and that of her unborn child first, Father give this woman the strength to tell this man that he either gets help or that separation will occur and mean it. Let her pray for this man's recovery...but let her understand that her first responsibility is to remain safe and healthy as she carries the life inside her. Father comfort her in this difficult time and help her to understand that as long as this husband remains in active addiction...he will put feeding it before all else. God bless her and keep her and give her peace. In Jesus name...Amen!
