Need prayer for husband/marriage

[yuna17]

I'm on my 2nd year of marriage, and have been getting discouraged lately. I know the devil is trying to deceive me and hurt me. I don't want my husband's flaws to bring me down or discourage me. But I can't understand why he'ss so selfish. He doesn't work and I don't nag him about it... He doesn't help me do anything at all around the house... On a rare occasion he'll help if I ask him, but complains about it... I go to work everyday to bring in the income, I come home and cook for us, and clean up after us, and I don't get any help. Sometimes I come home to a sink full of dishes wondering why my husband can't help me. He has become increasingly lazy in the past year. If I ask him to do something, he comes up with a million excuses why he doesn't have time, yet he doesn't even work. I know he has depression, but I don't think that can be blamed all of the time. I do stuff with him that he enjoys doing all of the time, but he hardly ever does anything that I enjoy doing. He sits in front of his computer all day and all night. Today he joked that he doesn't have to "try" to sweeten me up anymore because he already got me. I know he was joking, but sometimes I really do wonder. He is a very good man deep down, but he is also very selfish. He complains about helping others if it doesn't bring him any personal benefit. I just need prayers so that God will remove the devil from our home completely... THat he would bring angels to form a hedge of protection around our marriage. I'm so tired of going to bed all by myself every night. If he won't meet me all the way, I pray that he will at least meet me halfway. I know God is working his life... I just need patience and peace of mind as He does it. I need to remember to depend on God for happiness, not my husband. I pray for spiritual strength in mine and my husband's life, and for our love to grow stronger every day. I pray that I don't define my life by the world's standards, and to not let negativism find harbor in my mind. I pray for mutual honor, respect, love, passion and desire to grow through Christ in my marriage. Forgive me for my sins, Lord, and let your light shine through me to others. Amen

UPDATE / PRAISE REPORT BELOW! Thank you for your prayers!

Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is There - grant Yuna Your comfort and healing I pray. Lord, I pray that You would bring equity to this marriage and help Yuna's husband yearn to participate more. May You flood his spirit with a sense that something is missing from his life and guide him to be an equal partner with Yuna. God, she has be selfless in providing the income for her family and taking care of the household, she has a servant's heart and puts others before herself. I pray that You would raise her up and give her a marriage that honors her commitment. Allow Your Holy Spirit to work within this husband's heart, mind and soul - lead him to be a helpmate, a confidant, a lover, a friend. May he grow to hold his marriage in high esteem and honor his wife in all of his actions, words and deeds. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that You would shower this marriage with a fresh start, a chance to rebuild what has been lost and make it shine to Your glory. Bless and keep our sister in Christ close by Your side. Amen.

I just want to praise God for the work he's doing in my husband! This week, my husband has really reached out as a husband & child of God. Father, I feel so blessed by the restoration of my husband's heart & the gentleness he has shown. Thank you for the small ways which he has helped around the house this week... Even if they are not big things, the small things too, are very, very meaningful. Thank you for his kindness. I see him wanting to be the spiritual leader in our home, but still conquering his insecurities. Thank you so much for working in his life. It is truly a gift to see how your blessings ufold. As I continue to trust in you, Lord, I pray that you will bring my husband closer to you. Help me to be strong when he is weak... Help me to be patient and kind when he has an "off" day or "off" week. I am so thankful for the place you are bringing us to in our marriage. Thank you for the support he has shown. I pray you would remove the devil's attacks on our minds, and help us stand upright and faithful. I pray for your everlasting presence as the foundation for our marriage. Praise be to God!! And AMEN!

AMEN Lord, I sincerely pray for Yuna and her husband Lord. Some of us women here, on this site do everything for everyone, and I too, am one of them, and we have to remember when we do, even if it is not right, You Lord is with us and You will take care of us. Help us daily to not let what others do, affect what we do Lord, and Lord that is a task. We must do this Lord, as you tell us. You tell us, We must not get tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time. We must not give up! Galatians 6:9 Do what is right to other people,Love being kind to others, And Humbly, Trusting God.Micah 6-8. Give Yuna strength Lord, and open her husbands eyes more and more each second of each day, Lord.Draw him to You, Lord. All this mentioned I pray, IN Jesus Name Amen
