Hello everyone my name is Mark. I am married to my wife Kara and we have two children Sabrina 9 and Nicholas 3. Last Sat I came home from work to find my wife had taken most everything and moved back to Illinois. Now our relationship has been strained the past few months due to loss of my job and high debt. Neither one of us were truly seeking God. I take full responsibility for my failures, I kept buying and selling stuff even when we did not have the money. I was edgy around my family. We have lost our house, Kara said she has just had enough. God has blessed me during all of this. He has shown me what is really important. None of the stuff that I put us in debt for is worth anything. He has drawn me closer to him than I have ever been. He has softened my heart and filled me with his spirit. I have not responded in anger with Kara over any of this. That is ALL GOD folks. He is sustaining me. I ask that each of you pray that God continues to work in my heart, that he changes me into the man my wife and children need. That he makes me more like Jesus each day. I ask that you pray that Kara and the kids are protected. That Kara will see the change God is doing in me and her heart will soften. I know it will take time for her to trust again. She said she was praying that God would change me. I told her that her prayer is being answered maybe not in the way either of us wanted or expected but he is moving. Praise Him!!!!

Please Pray that my children will be protected. Nicholas who is three does not want to talk with me, I asked Kara to show him my picture each day and she said she would. Sabrina is praying each night that Mommy and Daddy are brought back together. Please Pray that God softens Kara's heart. I am having bad feelings today. I am asking God why, yes I had some bad habits with money and was grumpy sometimes but I never touched Kara or the children in anger. Why after 11 years of marriage when we need each other the most she would leave? I know why, we were not seeking God. I was hiding in stuff to buy and she threw all her energies in the kids, and seeks advice from family members all of whom are divorced. Please pray that God puts some Godly people in Kara's life and she is show what God's true will for marriage is.
Lord, I pray that this family and the marriage of Mark and Kara will receive the blessing of Thy grace. May deep healing, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and open hearts and minds take place within each of them. May Kara and Mark truly be aligned with one another's happiness, and a new deepened commitment and devotion to raising their children together in their own home be paramount. Let their love and their joy in one another be reignited. May wisdom, love and peace guide them.
May Kara see and know that Mark is a new man in Christ.
I pray that forgiveness and willingness will help pave the way to a reunited Christ- centered family.
May each be guided, protected and kept safe by Divine company, always.
In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
