I am asking for prayer for me and my husband. My husband is not a believer and wants a divorce. I am a believer and i do not want a divorce. I believe that through prayer anything is possible. I am still living with my husband but i am about to move back home to Indiana with my son to live with my parents. I am just asking for prayer to strengthen my husband and soften his heart. Please pray that things will work out for us and that we will be able to save our marriage in the name of Jesus.

Thank you all so much

Dear Tabatha,
I know how hard it is to have this situation because it was very much like my own. My husband too is not a believer. God heard my cries for which I am so very thankful and saved me and my kids from some bad things that my husband brought into our lives by his adultry. First, I was pregnant and my husband said I had to accept a divorce or abort my baby. I chose neither and felt that God would not allow his wickedness to stand. My husband did not officially leave me and my kids but he did force an agreement (he is a lawyer) and I signed it. I hope that it will not be a stumbling block in my life but prove to be either smashed on the rock of Jesus or be an instrument that God uses for us for His glory. My husband did not stay faithful after this and he cheated on me and began a long and drawn out affair for years that had the effect of killing our marriage and because he was guilty, he would exercise his anger, rage and disssatisfaction at me and the kids, making for a sad and emotionally abused household. SO while he was home, he was cheating and was emotinally, financially abusive and just plain cruel a lot of the time to us all. I thought i was going crazy because I would have a sense of his lying but he would become really good at demeaning me and then started to openly be hostile about my faith in God. Then it all unraveled.
My husband left 5 years ago this November and has not moved back though I have seen God move. I know that God is merciful and wants our best.
The mistake I made was to not let me husband go when he first said he wanted a divorce. I didn't fight, but I did compromise by letting my husband shape a separation agreement that was binding. At the time I felt that if God didn't want me to sign it, He would not let it happen. I was pregnant and hoping that God would resolve the issue in my favour and awaken my husband to his senses. The Bible says many things about divorce: only if there is adultry, God hates it (Malachi), but it does say that if an unbeliever wants to go, we the believer are to let them go if they have a disagreement with our faith and cannot live peacefully with us because of our beliefs. My husband and I had become light and dark. He had stopped going to Church and said he didn't really believe Jesus was the Son of God.
I think that this would have been the Godly choice and I regret/repent for not taking it. There have been years of real heartache and my kids have suffered because I chose to not believe that God would want not want us divorced. My husband is an angry man and very unstable emotionally and can be dangerous with his cunning. He knew I was not in the right frame of mind to do anything right fo rme or our kids and he and his lawyer took advantage of me and believe there isno remedy from the courts. Look to the Bible Tabatha, if your husband wants to go, let him go Biblically as God has called us to peace. I didn't want to face this because I felt that it was giving in or up. I felt that if I didn't pray, pray, pray, and pray and reach out to everyone to pray, that I would fail and our marriage would fail and it would be because I didn't have enough faith and belief to move God to do His thing. God allowed my husband to go on like he did for His reasons and I have faith and believe Jesus that He will restore the years the locusts hath eaten but I don't think I had to hold onto my husband when he so desperately wanted us out of his life and didn't want our baby. I cannot fathom why God allowed my husband to go from one wickedness to another with his abuse and adultry. I do know that satan is real but I know that Jesus is more real and does have the final say. That's a relief. So despite the times I have wrestled with God and shook my fist at him, I am humbled He didn't strike me dead or leave me. He had lvoe and mercy and delivered us and spared us from a lot. Over the years,
my husband drew up papers for divorce several times and has not submitted them. He just wants to have and do things his way. He comes over every day almost, calls, emails, buys me a birthday present and throws me an occasional bone to go to the movies or dinner when he feels like he has to do something.
It is no way to live Tabatha. I am in the process of asking God yet again what He wants me to do at this time. I read your post at just the time I felt such regret and repentence for not obeying the WOrd and letting my husband go. He went anyway to adultry, confusion, abuse, cruelity, lying neglect, rejection abandonment. I have no doubt that it was satan behind things. Just as satan is behind what is happening to your marriage. But I do think I hindered things beacuse I wasn't able emotionally to face the reality of my situation. I had faith, knew Jesus as my Saviour but I had marriage, family ideal, etc. as an idol.
There are lots of real life stories where people let go and the husband/wife does not in the end choose divorce but comes back after a regrettable time of wandering and waste - like the prodigal son. If you are able, fast and ask God to keep you safe and to guard your heart from deception and fear and ask Him to give you the eyes of His heart to know what you are to do..to open scripture to you in a vivid and true way for you to be led ONLY by Him - not your fears or hopes but by Jesus. I know God has a plan for you and your family, for good and not for evil, I just pray that God hems you in so you can only act or not act according to His desires. repent, fast, humble yourself before the Lord for He cares for you. He loves you and your family. Only Jesus can truly guide you and then Godly believers can confirm and the HOly Spirit can confirm and lead. Be couragous and reach out for prayer through every true believing website, like this one, Bible.com, rejoiceministries.org, wailing wall, ask for prayer, for NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. Ask God to bring you and keep you and our kids in HIs safe harbour, lash your self to the mast of Jesus and keep your eyes on Jesus through this storm. Praise Jesus, praise God, the HOly Spirit because satan and oppression leave when you praise God. He will not let the waters overtake you.
You can pray scriputre you know, just put your name, kids, husband names in scripture: Lord, give tabatha a sound mind, a spirit of love and courage, not fear.
Lord Your Word says that when we ask for wisdom, you give us Your wisdom, Lord, please give Tabatha Your wisdom from above to know what You desire her to do and give her wisdom in her decisions. Lord, keep Tabatha and her family under the shadow of your wings and do not let her foot be caught by the trapper. Pray psalm 91, 119. Lord, give Tabatha peace that passes all understanding and give her the wisdom she needs to parent her children. Give her children teachable heats to receive Your words from her and keep them from being changed or corrupted by satan and his deceptions. Pray Ezekial 33:17-34, Lord you say that you desire the wicked to turn and repent from their wickedness and live. Lord, turn my husband from his wickedness, give him Godly sorrow that cause him to repent unto You Jesus for salvation, and Lord, You say you hate divorce, put Your hands around our marriage and in YOur mercy, open the eyes of my husband's heart to know You and love you, and love me as Christ loves the Church, and seek You dear Jesus on how to be a Godly husband and father.
Lord restore Tabatha's joy and keep her in good health so she can take care of the precious child9ren) you have given her. Provide for her Jesus in all ways and remove her doubt and do not let satan steal Your words, but plant Your word in the good soil of her heart and nurture her faith to bear Your fruit in her and her family's lives so they may partake in Your supper Jesus. FOrgive them their sins, and let them be unafraid to confess their sins to you and God, please grant them the will and desire to forgive one another and obey You to forgive. Open their eyes and heart to unite in Jesus' name to stand together with You Jesus and overcome evil with good. Give them grace and laughter, empathy, compassion, respect, love, joy, good health and finacial provisions, may their hands be led to work at the work You have for them and be diligent. Give them Godly, good friends and deliver them form all evil. Pray Hosea 2:6- withyour husband's name in it and rest in God. Give Tabatha Your counsel Jesus. Protect her and her family Jesus.

I take God at His Word. I trust Jesus Christ for my salvation. Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner, but You have shown Your love for me by dying to forgive my sins, and You have proven Your power to save me from death by Your resurrection. Lord, change my heart, and save me by Your Grace.

I pray for Tabatha and Ronnie, reveal to them anything in their own heart that is threatening their union. I pray for the restoration of their marriage into the covenant that You intended. I pray that Your Love flows through each of them to the other. I ask for God’s forgiveness. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.

Thank you all for your prayers. He seems to be coming around. I ask that you continue to help me pray for restoration in our marriage in the name of Jesus! Thank you!

Praise the Lord and the power of prayer.

If you really want your marriage to work and you are determined to work at, even if it means you are the only one working for now, there is always hope.

I am giving you a gift. This is my repayment to another, a “pay it forward” of sorts. It is a book and a movie. Watch the movie. It’s a bit hokey, but the substance of the message is very powerful. Read and work the book. “This forty day journey cannot be taken lightly. It is a challenging and often difficult process, but an incredibly fulfilling one. To take this dare requires a resolute mind and a steadfast determination. It is not meant to be sampled or briefly tested, and those who quit early will forfeit the greatest benefits. If you will commit to a day at a time for forty days, the results could change your life and your marriage. Consider it a dare, from others who have done it before you.”


"The Love Dare"

Fireproof


Best Wishes and may God bless you in your endeavor.

You and your family are in my prayers
Hosea

I have watched the movie. and i have tried the love dare. But he just isn't coming around like i want him to. He is blaming me for the whole divorce. He is hurt for some reason. And he wont talk. I love him alot and i have been Praying that he will come around. And it may take some time but he told me that he doesn't trust me enough to show him that i want this marriage to work so he is giving up. I guess the only thing i can do at this point is to let him go and Pray that GOD stops the divorce and changes his mind. I'm not giving up hope on our marriage. We have a little boy who is not even 2 yet and i just don't see how he can give up on his family. I just want restoration in our marriage.

Dear Lord I pray Tabatha and Ronnie will be able to work things out and she remains with him where she belongs. Let her see if she leaves her home she will lose her rights in this marriage. May she cling to you at this time more than she has ever done in her life and show your love toward her husband through her. Let her remember their is an innocent child in this marriage which didn't asked to be born, and it will affect his live negative if they separate or divorce. Touch Ronnie's heart Lord like you did to my husband. Let Tabatha see that she can't force her husband to become a believer, but she can pray and guide him gently to you so not as to turn him off you. We know marriage is not an easy trip in life and we have to make the best of it with your help Lord, so help her to understand this and give her the strength and wisdom she needs at this time. Bless this marriage Lord and bring understanding, kindness, respect, trust, unconditional love, forgiveness, fidelity, and joy. Have them understand their child needs both parents not just one. Have them both grow in you and in your love so they can become the responsible parents they need to be. Lord please touch this man's heart and have him face life as a man and take his responsibilities of being a husband and a father seriously. May they both make you the cornerstone of their life so they can stand on solid ground and not in the quicksand they are in now. So Lord hear our prayers and answer them speedily so this precious child in this marriage can have a normal home with loving parents. May it all be done for your Honor and Glory Heavenly Father. I pray and thank you in advance in Jesus Christ Precious Name, Amen!
Tabatha I prayed for my husband for seven long years, it was not easy and we had a very difficult marriage all those years. I started putting Christian tracks on the livingroom's tables, in the bathroom, and little places where he may be tempted to pick up and read. I would put on Christian television every now and then, not overdoing so he wouldn't get angry. I prayed God will use this to touch his heart, for he was the kind of man that if anyone would try to witness or preach to him he would be turned off more, then he would take it out on me. I knew God had to be the one to touch him and open his spiritual eyes and ears. Today he is a Christian and our marriage of thirty seven years is better than I could had ever hoped for. So please keep your faith and don't give up, keep praying and loving him just as he is. If you walk away you will just open the door wide for the enemy to pull him more away from you. Be strong in the Lord and pray without ceasing for God is faithful to us who loves Him and leave your husband in God's hands he knows him better than you, even better than your husband knows himself. I will continue to pray for you your marriage and your child.

Thank you!. i am about to move this weekend 19hrs away from my husband. I am only doing this because i don't have family here and he doesn't want me to stay here. I cant afford to live here by myself. I feel that if i do this that he will think that i gave up or whatever. I pray that the Lord will find a way for me to stay. I don't want to lose my husband. This is getting hard on my son who has no idea whats going on but he sees me cry and im not the same. Lord i pray that you give me strength. I dont want to give up on my marriage. I pray that the Lord blesses him and makes him see this little boy needs him to. I pray that he steps up to be the man that he needs to be in this marriage and that he knows that its not going to be easy no matter who hes with. God bless him!! its not too late to save this marriage!

Dear Lord Please send Tabatha some help from above so she won't have to leave her home. Also Lord open her husband's spiritual eyes and ears, and touch his heart by softening it toward her and their child. Have him come to repentance and realize that whatever is out there that has been pulling him away from them it's not worth the heart break he is causing them. Bind those evil spirits in Jesus Christ's name and send them back to the pit of hell where they belong never to come out again. Bring forgiveness, peace, and love into this marriage Lord and may they get along without anymore misunderstandings between them. Calm Tabatha and let her feel your loving arms around her comforting her, giving her the strength and the wisdom that only you can give us in the middle of the storms. Dear Lord I know you can do it for you have done it for me and for many others. May Tabatha have many good reasons for enjoying and giving you thanks this coming holidays and always in union with her husband and child. I pray and thank you in Jesus Christ's Precious name always giving you all the Honor and the Glory Heavenly Father, Amen!

Thank you all for your prayers. I am not giving up hope or faith. I KNOW GOD WILL SAVE MY MARRIAGE!!! I will keep yall posted on what happens. And im praying that i have an awesome story to tell you!
