Sad

I am so sad by the fact that this may be the end. And I am confused that I forgave so easily (though everything changed) his infidelity when we broke up. It isn't that it is okay, it is that the Lord made me realize many things. I also realize he may not be with me ever again, and we are coming to accept that. My family and some of my friends strongly encourage me to cut off all contact.

Dear Father,
It is so hard to cut off contact with a man I have shared a life with for 12 years. Father, this evening I go and meet with the pastor at my church. The very first time I have ever done this and I plan to open up about everything. I don't expect immediate answers but I do know that there is strength in prayer and that my church praying for and with me will surely lead to good. As You tell us father All things work together for good for those who love the Lord. Again Lord, be with my ex fiance today. Where he is right now, what he is doing. Touch his heart with your tenderness, make stronger in him the longing to find the spiritual side of him. Let him find no rest in the way he was raised and instead be drawn to those who emmulate Christ. Forgive me Father for not showing him Christ in these 12 years. In the smallest ways maybe, but I had such an opportunity and I failed You Lord. And I failed him. Please Jesus, never give up on this young man. His life is so filled with pain, anger, hatred, blame, confusion. He loves me Father, but he also feels I should be something I am not and I know it tears at him too and led him into temptation. My family Lord just wants to see me happy, secure and cared for by a Christian man. It is so hard for them to see that in some cases in life you sacrifice happiness for others, yet I am not sure that is what you are asking me to do. Lord please speak through the Pastor as I meet with him in what I hope to be several meetings today. Father help him to take charge over his own spirit that the devil has captured and resist ANYTHING and ANYONE that who becomes a lure to evil things such as drugs, alcohol, worldly behavior. May he "abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." Romans 12:9 I pray as Stormie Omartin did that he wilol be repulsed by tempting situations to do any of these things and give him courage to reject them. Give me the words so that when/if he turns to me for counsel, that I will give him strength through your words spoken from my tongue.
Lord, he has a strong desire for money and he now has it, and his family all praises him for his financial successes. But Lord you say "Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition." 1 Timothy 6:9 Lord he knows no better. Please do not stop making yourself known to him. Please Father never quit knocking at his heart's door to come to you.
Help me to know YOUR will and to ABIDE BY IT. Wrap your arms of love around him Jesus.
In your most precious name I pray,
Amen

Update - about 1 year ago:

He just texted me that every time he thinks of his mom he wants to take a pill. My goodness...he has been on this for a year....I'm worried and praying.

PLEASE LORD, BIND the devil from tempting him right now. Get his mind off of this and make him better...please Lord. Please go to Him right now and fill him with peace.

God is Good all the time it may not look like it and it may not feel like it at the time but God is good all the time. I was just recently divorced from my husband on the 18 of this month he was an alcoholic and he was very abrusive in every way. I decided through prayer to move on I don't see hiim anymore and although he seemed hateful and a bad person I realize that he was troubled and I learn how to pray for him and I said Lord I would love for you to fix my husband and my relationship but if it's not meant to be I still want to see him saved sactified and holyghost filled You see I've learn to let go of things I can't chang I love the song I'll take Jesus for mind when I don't seem to have much it's ok cause I'll take Jesus for mine be encouraged stay prayed up and remember God is God all the time

Dana,
How are you doing? You have been on my heart today. I believe the Holy Spirit has given me a burden for you. Keep you eyes fixed upon the cross.

dnreyn7 - about 1 year ago: I have been troubled. I am trying hard to immerse myself in the Lord and today, rather this evening i have felt some frustration. My ex fiance is very restless. He has not touched anything illegal but tonight in his pain plans to go drink with a friend that is no good. I am filled with sorrow instead of prayer. Not that I am not praying you see, I just feel so very tired. I am coming down with something today, feeling a bit ill, likely from all the stress of the last few months. I know how deeply he is hurting and it is difficult for me. Again I have to pray "Lord, take from me my worries. Help me to remember that You are in control. You are my God. I have GIVEN Mike freely to you, I have given my LOVE FOR HIM to you to do as you wish with it. I know that you are interceding in his life, I know you are as you promise to intercede in the lives we pray for. I ask Lord right now that you send your angels to fight off the devil and his minons that are attacking him Lord. He told me he is not doing good for he feels so restless inside and unhappy. How I long to take him in my arms and tell him stories about Jesus if only he would listen. Lord I told him that I was praying for him, I tell him every day. I told him about meeting the pastor, I told him so much. He said I have been acting different the last week and asked if I was seeing another man. Praise God I almost laughed! No I told him, I am giving my life to God first, HE is the other man...But praise God he sees a difference. Jesus, hold him and I tonight in my frustration and sickness. I know the devil tries to attack at us when we are weak and ill. Please Jesus help me to fight off the devil's attack with your name and by focusing on you. And Father, wherever Mike may go tonight, please send your angels with him to protect him if it be your will God. Lord in the Desire of Ages, one of my favorite books it says: Earnest persevering supplication to God in faith...can alone avail to bring men the Holy Spirit's aid in the battle against principalties and powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world and the wicked spirits in high places. Spare Thy people O Lord and give not thine heritage to reproach. Lord you say that there will be sheep from many flock in your kingdom. Bring your son home...whisper in his ear so he may abhor evil this evening. That he may go out and not find joy, not find happiness there, rather become more and more restless to the point of wanting to leave these places and return to his home...away from the crowds and the evil. I thank you Father and I trust your Will in all things.
