Original Prayer

Thank You Lord for giving me a safe place to bear my soul before you. I cannot carry this around in my heart anymore. I know I'm going through a season of testing. You are bringing the dross to the surface. And it hurts. I have hatred and resentment in my heart for my husband who is also my brother in Christ. Its been there for 14 years. You are the one who joined the two of us together. You've proven and confirmed it numerous times. Yet I find myself resenting the life you've given to me. It seems the closer I get to you, the greater my desire for you, the more he interferes and puts my fire out. Your Word says that we can't serve two masters. We will end up loving one, and hating the other. Well, that's exactly what's happening here. We don't share the same heart. We don't speak the same language. I'm angry, and I want out of the marriage. I know how bad this is. Because you also said, What you have joined together, let no man put asunder, when you stood as witness to our wedding vows. I love you. And no matter how I feel, I will honor you with my whole heart and life. I know that you are greater than all of my angry thoughts, sinful attitudes, and rebellious ways. I ask you to cut me deep, that the poison of these sins may drain from within me, and fill me with your undying love and a purified soul. Thank you for your throne of grace and mercy. I need you so desperately. Amen

Rhonda I very much emphasise with you thru finding myself in a very similar situation. Do not be hard on your self when sin strikes. It is often when we are down or momentarily lost that we fall foul and do things out of character or thought we had long left behind. God love's you as you stated. Continue to love and confess to Him - although we don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, thru faith we are assured that God has a plan for us, He wants the best for you! Hold onto that thought Rhonda, when you find yourself in troubled waters continue to seek Him. Father I just pray that You would see Rhonda's heart and recognition for the strife she is facing in her marriage. I pray that her husbands heart would soften and identify the anguish she is facing at this time, that he would recognise that Rhonda needs love and affection, not just to live a religious life. Bless this union Lord and bless this couple with the support they need to restore a loving relationship. Amen
