my name is jose and my wife's name is erika.we are both saved through Christ.we also have a daughter named emelia.we've been married almost two years.our relationship has suffered much because of our growing distance from God and i myself made mistakes and failed in many aspects at being a good husband.over two months ago things "came to a head" and my wife said she was done and got divorce papers.through all this pain God has shown me much and renewed my faith and conviction like never before.i have repented and asked for forgiveness but my wife has hardened her heart and still insists on divorce.my prayer request i ask for (in faith and believing His Word) is for restoration for my family and of our marriage.i pray that Jesus will soften our hearts toward each other again and we could move forward together renewed and under His will as a family.i pray that i will be the husband and father Christ wants me to be.that i want to be.please pray for us and for my wife.

Father God, you know what has gone on in this marriage. I pray that you will soften the heart of this wife and that she will see the changes her husband says that he has made. I know that as he seeks repentance and forgiveness so you forgive, and he is to walk in obedience from now on. I pray for this union and I pray that they will find their way back. In the name of Christ. AMEN.

Please look at rejoice ministries on the internet and seek counselling both for you and couples councelling.

thank you for your prayers

Lord,

Please open the heart of Jose's wife and help her to let him back in. We all know that marriage is a blessing and you do not want to see anyone divorce. Please save this marriage. Sometimes it is the bad things that bring people closer together. Restore the love between the two and do not let it affect the little girl. I too have gone through trials and tribulations in my marriage and trust and healing do not happen overnight. Let them find a Christian couselor to intervene. Let us all remember that marriage takes work and it is worth putting in full effort to stay together - especially if you have been blessed with children.

Get the book Fireproof and continue praying. Your prayers will soon be answered.

Father, please touch this wife and heal the hurt and anger that she feels. Comfort both her and this husband as they go through this painful time. Cover and protect this little one that the pain of the parents does not become the pain of the child. Father, restore to them both the joy of their salvation and give each of them a forgiving spirit that they might come to respect and love each other again. Teach them your truth about the marriage bond...for better or worse...for life. Let them each withdraw to their prayer closet and seek your face and your will. Lead them and guide them Father...this husband to be the leader, provider and protector you made him to be and this wife to be the loving helpmate you created her to become. Do this through your power and your grace that your will for this marriage may be accomplished. In Jesus name...Amen!
