Marriage Woes

Doc Thomas

Disciple of Prayer
We have been married for 16 years and although we both claim to be born again, me being a preacher, she wants a divorce. Nouthetic counsel showed her her errors and no grounds for divorce, she wants one anyway to include getting a protective order against me which was disproved in court. The local church is ready for church discipline which is proper but I believe she will use that as another reason. Pray for godly heart changes. Although the church leadership has explained that she has no biblical grounds, she's proceeding with irreconcilable differences. Leadership is looking at church discipline. I pray it doesn't get there.
 
[SIZE=12pt]Dear Lord. I can’t see the way ahead and at the moment I feel so confused.
So today I ask that your hand would be upon mine.
Please lead me safely through.
Guide my heart, my mind and body to navigate the way.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]I put my trust in you. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.[/SIZE]
 
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we were perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him. (1 John 5: 14-15)

I am praying for you.
 
Praying with you and for you In Jesus Name Amen

6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanks giving let your request be made known unto God. 7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen (Philippians 4: 6-7)
 
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.
