Husband Falling From God & Family Going To ### And ###

[Anonymous]

I am married 10 years with 3 beautiful children. Unfortunately, I need help with praying for my husband. He is drinking up to 4 drinks of vodka every night literally every night for the past 3 months, goes and plays cards with his drug/alcohol using friends a couple times a week and then he has one friend that uses him and my husband has a blind eye and is falling from God. He chooses to spend time with his friend more than with his family. EVERY DAY. When I try discussing this with him, he says I have a problem and I am too controlling. But this friend constantly uses him for his hunting land and tools/supplies. Gets my husband to do work for him. They will spend hours together every day and then talk on the phone for 30-60min every day since they do construction it is easier for them to do their own schedules, they don't even work at the same company but will literally leave their work to hang out. My husband doesn't see it, but my husband is so exhausted from this guy that he takes it out on us, his family. His life is literally sucked dry by this friend, but doesn't see it. He takes it out on the kids that we are too demanding and want to spend too much time with him, although we only see him after school and work if he isn't with this friend or on the phone. I get screamed at when I try to ask my husband what his priorities are and why is this friend at the top of the list. This friend isn't a Godly Friend either. He is manipulative and knows that he is causing troubles in our life but keeps at it double time. I have been praying and praying but nothing is changing or nothing is visually changing, it seems to be getting worse. I tried keeping my mouth shut, it didn't work. I tried to support it, but it only gets worse. My husband flatly said he would pick this friend over me cause he is part of his hometown. Years ago, they had a falling out from their friendship due to the above and they didn't speak for 7 years. I pray that I can accept it and be enough for my kids, I pray that my husband sees the issue and realign his priorities. It isn't working. I could use the prayers of multiple believers in God to help us. I am afraid that if something doesn't change, my husband will segregate the kids and I from with no return. My children are old enough to realize what's happening, and I am getting too tired to defend my husband anymore.

If you have spare seconds to pray my children and I would appreciate it. If you have gone through something like this and have positive ideas and support on what I can do to help in a loving way, I would sure appreciate hearing from you. God Bless and Thank you for reading this.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
