Change In My Heart

[lkm]

I have worked through somethings in my mind regarding my husband. My pain is still great and I will continue to work on my walk with the Lord. I woke up this morning and I had some thoughts. I need to have compassion on my husband, obviously he is hurting as well. I am by no means condoning his behavior, but when he left he said he was feeling guilty. Maybe he has all ready realized he failed. That is why he is struggling so much.

My brother told me the parable of the seed. The one that falls on the hard ground does not grow because the ground is too hard. What would I do if I were the farmer? (I would till it up.) But a farmer may water the soil to make it soft. Tears of compassion can soften the hardest hearts. I pray that I may have compassion for him. I can just imagine the Savior crying tears over his lost child. Bring the prodigal home...

I do have a praise though it may seem small. I did my Bible study yesterday, I kept feeling God tugging at my heart to read in Joel 2:5 and through the end of the chapter. THe verse that stood out was God would restore what the locusts have eaten. (paraphrased) I prayed that someone would back up this verse up to me. Not to test God, but to confirm His word. Later I was speaking to my friend and she said "May God restore what the locusts have eaten". I felt that was my confirmation of God's blessings. Praise God!

Father, I pray for You to touch the lives of these two people and their marriage. Thank You for the word and confirmation that was received by her. Give them the strength that they will need as they work these problems out Father. I pray for them both to come close to You and then to each other, putting You at the center of their lives. I pray for their marriage to be like the cord of three, not easily broken, a marriage strengthened by You being the major part of it. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord, I touch and agree with these prayers. I thank you for the warriors that have gathered around my sister to lift her up today. Lord, I pray your hand upon this marriage. I pray that no weapons formed against this couple prosper. I pray that whatever has taken his eyes off his wife, that it will be removed so that he can see clearly that what God hath joined together, let no man tear apart. Lord, give my sister wisdom and discernment as she ponders her situation. She is right that she should show him compassion. Lord, I thank you for her brother, for his insight and his compassionate heart to his dear sister. May you bless him as he shares your word. Lord, I pray you would draw this couple together, that they could meet and sit together and have an honest discussion about what went wrong and what they can do as a couple to make it right again. Lord, be with them and guide their conversation. May they find forgiveness and healing of their broken hearts. I lift them up today. To you be the glory. Bless them with a restored marriage. In your name, I pray. Amen
