My name is Sherry and I'm coming to you in need of prayer for my family and my husband Tom. We have been married 23 years, have 4 beautiful kids together. We married young, both from troubled homes. We fell in love and I thought we would always be there for each other. Problem is Satan has tried to destroy us from the beginning. He has used the hurts,abuse and pain we grew up with and turned it on us in our marriage. Over the years my husband has gone thru periods of physical and verbal abuse that I don't understand. It seems as if everytime things start going well for us, we are enjoying each others company and happy something takes it away.
In October my husband snapped again, beat me worse than I ever thought he would. He was arrested and convicted of a class 4 felong battery today. I had been praying hard for him, especially last night and we had been making progress, he was starting to reach out to me, try to talk about things inside of him and be kind until today and he is back to being angry and not wanting to talk again. Its like the harder I pray the more satan tries to take him away.
Throughout all of this I have prayed, some days not knowing what I should be praying for. His heart is hardened and angry, he blames me for what he did to me because he cant accept what hes become(satan fills his head with lies) and our family being torn apart is hurting all of us. My husband was brought up in an unbelieving home and has never had a relationship with God so I know he is alone in his messed up thoughts and heart with all he has done.
Please pray for us, all of us including Tom. Pray for Gods will in all of this, for healing of our hearts, for Tom to hear Gods voice and finally turn to Him and accept Him. Please pray that we are all forgiven and show mercy and forgiveness towards one another as Christ has done for us, that God may show Tom that his family is most important after God and that we are able to put this all behind us. I do not believe God wants me to stay in an abusive marriage but I also don't believe God wants me to divorce him either. Pray that God surround Tom with good people who encourage him to heal his family and get help, protect him from satans lies so he may see and hear clearly the voice of God.
I feel as if I am being called to pray for Tom, that he would become a new man in Christ and be able to one day be a gentle kind man who loves his wife and family and sees that we have been here praying all along. I pray for comfort and peace for my children, for God to meet their needs in everyway. In the end, if that is not Gods will then I pray He gives me strength and reassurance thats its ok if I no longer remain married and move forward in my life. PLease pray for us....
Father, I lift up myself, my family and my marriage to You for healing and restoration. You know the sorrow and pain that weighs heavy on our hearts before I ever say it. Heal us God, surround us with your love and protection, open Toms eyes to your mercy and love and call Him unto you so that he may be the husband and father he was called to be. Forgive me Father for the mistakes I have made and give me strength and hope for each new day, may Your desire and will for my marriage and family be made known to our hearts and that we will be able to show love,friendship and compassion to each other once again no matter what your plan is for our future. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
