Hello, [Frown]

I have an urgent prayer request for my marriage.
My husband Michael moved out of our house about two month ago to go into a Christian Mens Drug Rehabilitation Center. He signed up for one year. While there he was told he has to attend "outside" AA or NA meetings. While at one of these meetings he meet another woman named Raydene (sp?). He spends more time with her than with either me or his children. Both in person as well as on the phone. He's told me he has a serious problem with other women in general. In that he wants them and lusts after them. He's almost acted on it several times that I did not know about through out our 6 years of marriage (seven years being together). He also has a serious problem with pornography.
He told me a couple of days ago that he knows he loves me, but doesn't know how he loves me (i.e. like a friend, or the way a husband should love his wife). He's taken off his wedding ring (although so have I). His actions are that of a man who does NOT love his wife the way a husband should. He has been trying to spare my feelings due to the fact that I'm 8 months pregnant. This is a terrible time for all of this! I also suffer from depression and it gets seriously bad right after I have a baby.
I need you to pray that our marriage works out and we can be together, or if that's not Gods will, then please pray that I have more than enough strength to go through this divorce. More than enough for me and our children (Nick, Sarah, Jade, and the baby boy on the way). Please ask that I'd be sparred the severe depression from this and that may God please show me a light at the end of the tunnel. Something to look forward too and not be suicidal. I just don't have it in me to go through this right now (or right after I have the baby!). I still love my husband deeply! Please pray hard for me (for us).
Thank you,
Patrice [Frown]

P.S. Please also pray this for me in your churches and any prayer meetings or groups you attend and please have all of them pray for us as well. Thank you!

Patrice,
I will pray for you. God will answer in His own way and in His time.
Do you have a church home? Does it love God and preach His word? Does it Support you? Do you support it, are you there when the doors are open?
God can not be the most important thing in your life. He must be your life.
There are many great churches in San Jose, what area do you live in?
Your husband has an "addictive" personality, the cure will take time and trials, for both of you. It will not be a straight line recovery. If your husband works hard and submits himself to Christ he will have good days, great days, and some bad days. You are going to need a loving Christian family, church, to get you through this.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry you must face this. But know you have alot of people praying for you and most of all you have Jesus as your intercessor.

Your husband has betrayed you. Don't make the same mistake by not giving your children their mom. Its not their fault and they need YOU more than ever now. God gave you those 4 little blessings and he will help you take care of them.
TRUST and FAITH!
Your husband has nothing to do with your choice of your relationship with God. Put GOD first.
Love God more than you love your husband.
PRAY PRAY PRAY for your husband. I dont know if God will choose immediate healing or not. Thats up to Him. But HE will be there and at work in your behalf every step of the way.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIS KINGDOM. Everything else is temporary. In fact the Bible says everything is in vane. BUT we have to keep going and live for Jesus Christ, our saviour.
Invite Him into your heart today and let Him help you.
Call the church right now and set up an appointment to have counseling.

I pray for you and your family. I pray that you will put GOD first and formost. He will help you with the rest.

Gentle hugs.
