I am sorry for the hard times you are going through right now. I know it seems too much to handle, but let me tell you what my experience was, than maybe you will be encouraged. Your mom doesn't want to know how much your dad needs her right now. He needs to place his heart in the Lord at this point in time, and allow him to be the one he needs, more than anything, or anyone. I don't know what the problem is between your parents, but since your mom left, I would say that if he wants to win her heart back, he must back off from her and allow GOD to work on softening her heart. Sometimes when someone wants, and needs someone "too" much, it has the opposite effect of what the hopeful person would want. That has been what I have experienced in my life. My ex husband "needed me too much." It pushed me totally away from him. I was at the point of not being able to stand the sight of him...That is why I advise backing off. If he can show her that he can make it without her, even though he loves and misses her, it would make him more attractive to her. Father God, you know this situation. You know the hurt, and the sorrow. I pray that you would give wisdom to this husband. Help him to put his heart in your hands, help him to trust you. So many times we can't see beyond our sorrow, yet there is a life beyond that that you have ready for us to walk in, if we would just understand that. I pray for a spirit of love, and of hope to surround this family. Let them feel your very presence. Give them joy in the midst of the circumstances. You will take care of everything if they will give it all to you, so Father, please help them to do your will in this situation. In Jesus name, Amen.
