marriage and finances

Please pray for my marriage of 16 years and for our finances. My husband and I are having a terrible time financially and it has affected our marriage in a huge way. I love my husband, but he blames me for everything. His family is not Christian and he talks with them 3-6 times a day. He won't bother trying to find a friend a church that could relate to him better. Instead he looks to his demonic twin brother for advise and his mother who doesn't even know what it is to be a Christian. He is upset with me because we left Idaho to move to Wisconsin to be near my family who do know and love the Lord Jesus. My husband had a problem with gambling, drugs, and drinking back when we lived near his family. They didn't like me. They tried over and over to get us to divorce. His mother has been married 4 times and going on her 5th husband. His brother just finds a woman to live with that will support him while he continues to get disability from the government each month. Neither of them love Michael the way a person should love their brother or son. Allowing them to get drunk or high in your house and playing poker or taking them to the casino when that person has a wife and 2 children at home to take care of is wrong. They constantly wanted his time and he gave it to them. That is why we moved. Satan got a hold of him and the only way to save our marriage was to leave. It took about 2 years and our marriage is much better and the children love having their dad around, but since our money situation isn't great he is not happy with our decision to move out here and he forgets why we moved in the first place. I need prayer that he doesn't have these thoughts any more and that he has faith everyday that God will supply all our needs in Jesus name. Please pray for a miracle for our finances and marriage, so he doesn't have these thoughts and that his family keep their distance. Thank you and God bless.

I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Ron and Julie Parrish's oldest daughter. Mike lived with us for awhile and I remember his thirst and hunger for the Lord! At times it even convicted me! I always admired his dedication to the Lord! I always wonder what happened to you guys! I will definitely keep you all in my prayers! My husband and I have been through extreme financial difficulties ourselves. I know exactly what you're going through in that instance anyways! My love to you and prayers for you and please look me up on facebook! ~Your sister in Christ, Cindy

PRAYER FOR A HURTING FAMILY

PRAYER FOR A HURTING FAMILY

Lord, we come together in agreement where in Matthew 18:19 we read that if two of you on earth agree about anything we ask for, it will be done for us by our Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them. Lord, we pray that no weapon formed against this family will prevail. Satan, you were defeated at the cross when our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. He arose showing you His mighty power. Get away from this family and all families around the world who are speaking separation and divorce. God hates divorce, instead he will be the Repairer of Broken Walls, a Repairer of the Breech and will rebuild homes on the solid rock of Jesus Christ.

Lord, we are praying that both of these people and all our prodigals around the world will have a personal relationship with You as their Savior and as their Lord. For it by grace that each of us have been saved through faith, not of ourselves, but a gift from God.

Lord, we are putting the full armor of God on this family and on all the families around the world who have strife of separation going on in their homes, putting a hedge of protection and the blood of Jesus over them, so that we can take a stand against the devil's schemes. We stand in agreement with our Lord God and know that all of the enemie's tricks and schemes against this family and other families are broken. For our struggles are not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Lord, we pray that all the spouses who are planning on leaving and the ones who are gone will flee the evil desires of youth, and instead pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. We pray that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. We know that Your sheep hear Your voice, so speak loudly to Your children today and we pray that they will be obedient to Your voice, Your will, and Your way.

Lord, we praise You that You are in control of this crisis, and I pray that You will show Your people the power of prayer. Give hope to husbands and wives, showing them and speaking to them that You can heal, restore and rebuild their marriage. Nothing is too hard for You, and greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. Lord, we praise You and thank You that we have confidence in approach- ing You; that if we ask in anything according to Your will, You hear us. And we know that when You hear us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of You. I pray I Corinthians 13:4-8 on them, restoring their love as the day each of them got married. Lord, we give this couple and all the other couples around the world to You Lord, and trust You to protect them from the evil one. We pray this in the mighty name of our Lord
