My marriage is over

Please pray that the Holy Spirit touches my husband's heart and convicts him to work on our marriage. We have not been intimate for 3years. He blames our priest, friends, anything and everything so he can get out of talking about it. He works abroad, and only comes home on weekends, he allows the kids to stay up til 4-5 and later in the morning to avoid talking with me about it. He is an excellent provider, but he is killing himself at his job, he is a serious chain smoker, doesn't eat right, nor sleep normal hours. He has disassociated himself with me for so long.

He brought all of us to HIS home country 7 years ago and has left many things undone. He won't take responsibility for the extremely important issues in our lives. And he won't discuss it, only to say, yes, we must do this/that...but he instead goes shopping for useless stuff. We have 3 children, whom notice, but say nothing. They don't help around the house, and he doesn't care. I try so hard not to complain, but it is never ending. My faith in God is huge, his used to be....no if I mention God, he rolls his eyes....I need him back.......I feel so dead inside....dead isn't even the word. Depressed, is not the word....only God can help us, and all my praying seems for nought....though I know He carries me right now....only God, I have...no-one, nothing.....and I can't talk about this here...who to talk to? If my faith weren't so strong, I'd have lept when we first came to this country....but God revealed so much to me. So, why take this marriage and let it be destroyed???

Thank you in advance...

Lord, I pray that you would touch this mans heart and bring him back to you. Only you can change things. Lord I pray that you would deal with this man and heal him of whatever happened to cause his heart to harden. Let this man at least be willing to talk with his wife and work on their issues. In Jesus name amen. Keep praying and believing-I've seen this power in my own life and I feel my own situation turning around for the better.

Father you give strength to the broken hearted, rest to the weary, this marriage is trying on this woman, convict her husband in his wicked ways, to identify her as the Proverbs 31 woman. Take away the Depression, Lonliness, and Dispair on her, may her husband see her the way you see her, thank you that you are our husbandman, never to give up, keep perservering, send earthen vessels for her to reach out to, be encouraged and to stay plugged in to her church family In Jesus name amen.

AliveinChrist:

Thank you for your prayers for our animal shelter. Our prayers are with you. Don't despair over the state of your marriage because this too shall pass. As will the rebellious stage of your children (trust me, I have been through it). Try changing yourself from within and as you change so will your husband. He is now responding to expected actions/responses from you. God will help you as you strive to release yourself from the insidious hold your husband presently has on you. May you have many blessings in the future.

Dear God we know that you are in control even when things seem hard. We ask your blessing on this family that you would cause the walls of distance to fall like those of Jericho and restore to them the love and the caring that are a natural part of being a family. I pray that believers would be present for them there and that special moments would come into play that would lead this man back to caring for his wife and family in a more personal way.
