I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,
and it told thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith
and be closer drawn to thee.
Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to thy precious, bleeding side.
2
Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
by the power of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in thine.
3
O the pure delight of a single hour
that before thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
LORD of all,
I ask that you will finish the work in me that you have started.
Phi 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Let me be your workmanship created for good works in Christ Jesus.
I pray that your Name will be Glorified in my life.
I pray that your Name will be Glorified in the church today.
Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Let nothing over which I have control, hinder your work today.
I ask this in Jesus' Name above all names
BTTT
Please continue to pray
...as this battle is very far from over.
I am not sure how to deal with what has been going on.
He moved back home on Monday saying he was here to stay because this is where he belongs. Since that evening, and at least twice a day, he keeps crying and saying his head feels as if it is going to explode because he feels tormented because he has hurt other woman, someone he loves, and then there is me and the kids and he doesn't want to hurt us even though he already has.
These last few days my approach has been to listen, bite my tongue, and to give him his space here at home. In other words, I am not hovering over him. He and I shared some intimate moments but since then he said he cannot get involved with anyone emotionally because he is conflicted by his feelings.
I think he is headed for a nervous breakdown.
I asked him if he wanted to talk to someone and he said no. He told me that if I did not do some of the things I have done, we would not be at this point. What did I do--I called her and told her to stop seeing my husband, that sort of thing.
This is, in my opinion, a spiritual battle--Satan vs. God. It should be an easy choice but he has an ultra obsessive personality and he is very harsh on himself and he feels that he is inadequate in the eyes of God, and that he can never be happy again.
He also told me that the only stability he has ever had was with me and the kids.
Today, he went back to work. He said he did not know what time he will be home which means he will be seeing her - I think.
I know there is nothing in my power I can do. But I am praying that God brings him to his senses and allows him to see that what he is doing is wrong and disobedient to God.
I don't know if I have worded everything properly above but this is the best I can do at the moment.
Thanks for your continued support and prayers.
