Please pray...again

I feel bad asking for prayer yet again, when I have been less of a friend/bloggy friend to you all these past 3 months. But I know going to the Throne of Grace works. I believe it with all my heart. So...

My husband called this morning and is coming to get the rest of his things. I feel sick. Nauseous. I cannot believe this is happening. But it is. It's really happening.

Please pray for Zach and I today...that we would remain calm and non-confrontational. As you can imagine, there is a whole lot we'd like to say and questions we'd like answered. But my husband is so far away from the Lord right now that he has no desire to answer to anyone. He's made that very clear.

Of course pray for Rande most especially. At this point, I pray the blinders would be torn from his eyes and he would SEE clearly, the devastation that has taken place because of the choices he's made...and continues to make. I pray he his heart would be grieved and he would turn to the Lord. I know my husband. At some point, maybe not for years down the road, he will wake up and be a very sad, lonely man...and he will realize what he has lost. And it will be too late. The most important thing I pray for him at this point, is for his relationship with the Lord...no healing can take place until he turns to Jesus.

Thank you all so much for praying and hanging in there with us...we need you and appreciate you all.

***no healing can take place until he turns to Jesus***

This is the root, and to that end I'm praying for him, Mishel.

And, as soon as I click post, I'll humbly bow in prayer before a holy Lord of Lords, for all of you.

Love,
jAne

Praying for you all fervently, today. (We're adding you to our prayer jar! See my last post.)

Thank you for sharing this trial of your life. The manner of your conduct and your testimony of your steadfast faith is encouraging to all who stop by. God will protect you! Put on His armor and claim His promises, dear friend! I wish I could take this all away from you, but I know the One who will work this all for your good and for His glory.

Be strong in Him,
Katie

Oh Mishel, please do not feel bad asking for prayer again. We as believers are to help those who are hurting and to help hold their burden. No apologizing for it either, Dear One. I am praying for everyone involved. May you feel the arms of Jesus around you as you endure more of this trial.

CONNIE'S THOUGHTS FROM THE HEART said...

I have prayed just now for Him for you and your son. I pray it will go in a way that pleases God and that God's will be done in all of this. We know that will and pray that he sees it before it is too late. connie

Praying for you. I know it's probably over now, but Jesus works outside of time. He still hears.

I am but a Blogger friend who only "knows" Ashley from finding each other's sites. But I am amazed and often encouraged by her testimony before the Lord and now by yours. You have such Godly grace in the midst of this toughest of struggles. Please know that I will be in sincere prayer for you and your entire family each time the Lord brings you to mind. My strongest desire is that it will not take years, but that the Truth will become plainly visible much sooner. God bless you, dear Sister!

Never apologize for asking others in the Lord to pray. I am praying for you and your family.
Know that you are an inspiration and awesome example to others out there that have and are going through tough situations like yours.....you are allowing Christ to fill you with grace and mercy and love even while you hurt so much. Isn't that what our precious Lord did there upon that cross? His hurt was so great, yet he loved us through it all and still does even when we turn away from Him.
I am praying for a short journey for your husband's wandering heart.

I just prayed this very thing for him this morning . . . and I prayed a special prayer for you and Zach too. I'm so sorry. I'm just so sorry.

I honour your generosity and selflessness of heart, expressed in this sentiment, but this is the way friendship works in God's Kingdom - sometimes you talk and laugh about fun stuff, sometimes you huddle and pray through tough stuff. Like penguins, huddling together to protect each other from the storm, in the middle of winter at the South Pole - consider yourself huddled! I feel so honoured to read your blog and be able to pray for you. Thank you for sharing the tough stuff and enabling us - your bloggy friends - to pray for you, dear Mishel! *Hug!* I didn't read this post in time to pray, but I know Jesus was with you, dear one!
