[fuzzi]

I will be glad to pray, although I'm not sure what you mean by a 'covenant' prayer? :hmm:

My husband was saved almost eight years ago, and within the last year or so, he has started showing signs of growth and Christian maturity. Prayer does work!

[Catielle]

Hi Fuzzi - By covenant I just meant as sisters in the Lord, committed to pray faithfully for one another's husbands. My husband's name is Ken. What is your husband's name?

[steelerbabe]

I would be interested. My husband's name is also Ken and has backslidden.:cry: Hard to be around to say the least.

[fuzzi]

My dh's name is Ron. :)

[RUN2GOD]

I would like to join , my husbands name is Timothy, and we both got saved Easter, 1993.
Both of us had backslide, but this past year I have rededicated my life completely, joyously, and I can't stop talking about it. Anyway, this thread is a direct answer to my prayers and I thank you. Likewise, my prayers will include all of you now. God bless you all.

[ServantofTruth]

My wife's name is Sharon and she's a non believer. I've been a Christian for 11 years. Many are praying for her.

I know I can't join your group, but I hope the love, support and encouragement that you are to each other is a powerful witness to your husbands. Good idea, God bless each of you, SofTy.

[Lynbob]

Hi Fuzzi - By covenant I just meant as sisters in the Lord, committed to pray faithfully for one another's husbands.
Would you all like a Prayer topic pinned at the top of this forum? That way we can keep a list of who is needing prayer, praying together as Catielle suggested?

** And I think it should be for spouses not just husbands. We want to include SofTy in our prayers :hug:

[fuzzi]

Thank you! I think I'd like it pinned to the top.

Anyone else?

[karenoka27]

My husband is Ken as well. I will gladly keep in prayer those who have unbelieving husbands.

[Lynbob]

Although sadly divorced I would like to add my husband Robert who has fallen away from God. :pray:

[RUN2GOD]

That all sounds good to me to. thanks everyone.

[Catielle]

The new thread looks great. Yes, definitely ANY spouse is welcome to add the name of their mate. I will pray daily for each member of the group and their mate. If anyone has scripture reference they want to include, please do so. The word says in I John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will (word) he hears us and if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have desired of him.

Let's pray the word of God and get those spouses back! :pp

[fuzzi]

Here are a couple verses that apply, I think:

"Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;" (1 Peter 3:1)

"But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. ...
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" (1 Corinthians 7:12,13,16)

I recall hearing a message by a preacher who prayed for his father for twenty years... but then, was saved by the grace of God!

[Midyrvette]

Could I add my wife Michele to this prayer list? Her heart is hardened to all things Christian. We were married before I got saved and we are separated right now because of my Christianity, and I would appreciate it dearly if she could be added to the list.....Thanks everyone.

[Lynbob]

Absolutely :hug:

[RUN2GOD]

You can count on it!
today, when i read my testimony to my husband, he started to cry and he really started opening up some and talking about church. I know it is just a start, but my cup runneth over right now. Thank you Lord for the power of prayer and for this thread. Amen

[Lynbob]

That is awesome about your hubby :hug: :pp

[Catielle]

It blesses my heart to see God in action. The word says that we should pray for one another that we may be healed... James 5:16 It is so exciting to know that when we pray for someone else, we are also being blessed. And also, the fruit of our labors are apparent in that this thread is growing. Keep on praying and most importantly ...believing in the word. ;)

[Catielle]

I am so thankful that there are faithful prayer warriors who are believing God for their spouses and for everyone else's spouse that are on this thread. My husband never has been someone who likes to just sit and talk about the things that interest me. But, praise God, just today he sat down with me and had an entire conversation with me about an assortment of subjects that I brought up. He fidgeted a little, getting up to get a sandwich etc. but for the most part he paid attention, listened and had good feedback. This may not seem like an answer to prayer to some, but to me, it most definitely is an answer to prayer. Thank you for continuing to pray. .....if we ask anything according to his word, he hears us.....and we have the petititions that we desired of him. Please share any progress you have in your particular situations. Cat :bounce:

[RUN2GOD]

Your post fills my heart with joy and my mouth with praise to the Lord. My husband has had so many questions lately, and they're the right kind of questions,and of course, it's my favorite subject, so I don't mind answering. This is prayer and faith in motion. I'm grateful for all of you. You are my friends in Christ, Regina:pp

[lilybetweenthorns]

What a wonderful idea! Prayer is such a powerful thing. I read an article a while back about a group of ladies who prayed for their unsaved husbands together daily and one by one the Lord changed their hearts. How amazing! I would love to pray with and for you all. My husband Jeff is unsaved. He asks a ton of questions but struggles with faith and understanding a few other things.

[Lynbob]

Prayer is such a powerful thing
I couldn't agree more. I have added you and your husband Jeff to our prayer list :hug:

[Catielle]

The goodness of God is awesome!! May I be specific about something that I would like everyone to pray for? It is the bad habit of cussing - not just when angered but in everyday conversation. Pray the holy spirit would bring conviction and there would be true repentance. I realize that without being led by the spirit of God, such things are natural (carnal), so I need God to put his "super" on the natural. Col 3:8 Now put away and rid yourself (completely) of all these: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander & foul mouthed abuse & shameful utterances from your lips. In Jesus' name. You guys are awesome too.

[lilybetweenthorns]

I hope everyone is doing well. I Lord's Hand is right there always! God Bless you all.

[fuzzi]

While typing up my testimony the other day, I recalled something about prayer:

When I got saved, I was separated from my husband, and did not feel that I loved him anymore.

The Lord worked upon my heart, and impressed upon me that I needed to reconcile with him. I resisted for a while, but finally submitted.

At that time, and for months, I prayed for the Lord to help me love my husband again.

And he did! We're more in love now than we have even been! :pp

[Catielle]

I'm so glad that you guys are still out there. It's been awhile since anyone has written. My computer had to be put in the shop for awhile, but now it's back up and running.

The testimonies and responses coming in are so awesome. God loves unconditionally - what an awesome God we serve.

I hope everyone is continuing to lift up each other's spouses in prayer. United we stand....against the deceitfulness of the enemy. God is on the throne!!

;);)

[Lynbob]

I am still here and still praying :hug:


I am glad you got your computer back Catielle!

[RUN2GOD]

I'm still here, too..With lots of faith :pray: and love :hug: and hope :pp!!

[kricaud]

I would love to become a part of the prayer list. My husband was a Christian when we married, but he has now fallen into the New Age beliefs and it is destroying me. I know that God is powerful and wants to love and save my husband, but it is making life and love difficult. I would love for prayers for my husband to be filled with the truth of God's word and for me to be able to stay in a loving relationship with him until he is a believer again. His name is Eric.

[Lynbob]

Absolutely! I have you and your husband Eric added onto the prayer list :hug:

[Catielle]

Welcome - I will be praying for you and your husband. Eph 1:12-14 AMP 12So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!

13In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. 14That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it--to the praise of His glory.

Catielle :pray: Trust God!!

[Lynbob]

I just to let you all know I am still praying for you and your spouses :hug:

[reliant]

Joey, is my husband and he has been struggling on his walk for the past two years. Its getting hard for me, since I was saved when he came into my life. He was guiding me through, and I've never done this my self before. It's hard because we fight almost everyday. He is trying to get me back into what his life style is like now.

I pray, and pray and many others are praying for him as well. It's been a huge strain on our marriage, he thinks I'm trying to change him, and control him. I know Jesus is tugging at his heart, but he just doesn't want to feel it.

He has done things behind my back with other woman, I don't know how to deal with all this pain he is causing me to feel. I don't want to back out, but I don't know how much longer I can stay in this for.

I just found this site today, and this is this thread is the first one that came up...

Hi and welcome to the site! I too am married to an unbelieving husband. His name is Jeff. I am sorry for your pain, I know I have been at that point where I questioned whether to stay or go. I will pray for wisdom for you and for your husband Joey to find his way back.:pray:

There are some wonderful people on here that have been extremely helpful to me. I am sure you will find encouragement here.:hug:
