I’m asking for prayers for my son-in-law. My daughter just informed me tonight that she’s leaving him this weekend while he’s out of town. I knew they were having problems and she “wasn’t happy,” but I was hoping she’d come to her senses and realize she was being stupid. Unfortunately, she hasn’t. They’re both 32, have been married for 7 years with no kids, and they are employed.
The reason I’m asking for prayers is the way she’s chosen to leave the marriage. He’s coming home Sunday to a note explaining that she’s gone. I love him to death but he’s got a negative outlook on life in general. I know how I’d feel if it happened to me and my heart breaks for him. I believe he also has a gun, although we live in Arizona so who doesn’t?
I’ve been here for over 20 years, including as a lurker, but this is only my second post. I’m really feeling anxious about this situation so I’m asking freepers to lift up Adam in prayer and surround his heart with love to help him get through this dark time. Thank you in advance!
Prayers up.
I feel for you my FRiend, especially seeing your blood making an apparent short-sided decision. Me, I think that there is a lot to blame our ‘instant gratification’ society for and this attitude is one aspect of it. All of you are in my prayers.
Always prayers for what God wants ... but also that this matures them both and ultimately brings them peace however it turns out.
Lord Jesus Christ please lift Adam up in prayer and help Adam and his spouse get the counseling they need to heal the wounds in their marriage and bring together in love and peace.
Prayers up.
You are a caring person and this shows. Stay strong.. God will have to show the way to the couple and it will be their choice to follow or go another route.
Best to all of you.
Thank you for the update and prayers continuing for their marriage, and all of you and the family.
Prayers for God’s guiding hand...
Prayers for your daughter and son-in-law.
Prayers continue.
We are Your children and we praise You and give You thanks for our lives and fortunes, no matter how pleasant or unpleasant they may seem at the time! For all things come together for good to those who love the Lord.
This situation of pain and separation is heartbreaking for more than just the couple.
May everyone affected by this relationship put their emotions, beliefs and most of all their faith in You and Your Word, dear Lord.
May they turn to You in sorrow and pain, and also in
humility (that they may not know Your plan for them and should wait for it to unfold),
patience (with waiting for Your direction and the fruits of the Spirit to reveal themselves in all the parties to this split),
repentance (for the part each of them may have played in adding or subtracting blessings or woe),
peace (in knowing where they are innocent or where they must repent and learn new ways, and
inspiriation (for how to heal and grow according to Your will).
If any in this situation are not saved or are not sure of their salvation in Christ, may true Christians outside the situation quietly and unobtrusively point the way without raising their fears, so that they may come to you in true surrender.
We thank you in advance for the blessings that will come from this crisis, including growth of spirit and discernment, faith in Your guiding hand towards recovery once a sinful situation has taken place, forgiveness of self as well as others, and wisdom both in speaking and it silence.
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
My prayers for your daughter and son-in-law. God bless.
I will keep your daughter and her husband in my daily prayers.
Prayers offered.
Lifting your daughter and Adam up in prayer...
God you know their needs and what is best for them!
Father in Heaven,
We lift Adam and his wife up in prayer. Please grant them healing. Please grant them calm rational thought. Whatever the outcome, we ask that it be for the best possible result.
Your Will be done.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
PRAYERS SENT
prayers for your family....
Thank you, infool7. I hope my daughter’s decision to leave is due to the craziness going on in the world because of Covid. At least that would explain her silly rationale.
