Prayer for the life to come...
For over a year now my wife has been struggling with issues in our lives. Namely the loss of her daughter (my step daughter) who was killed in a car accident when she was 18. This was a couple years ago. Since then she has bounced back and forth from turning to God for peace and hating Him for the loss. This year she has progressed toward the hate more than the grace. A few times she has packed and left for days at a time, but always returned and I have always welcomed her back with no questions asked. I have even followed her (spiritually) away from God so as not to lose touch or track of her hoping I could be the life line between her and God.
Monday I came home from work and she was gone. After several phone conversations this week it has come to her presenting the ultimatum. Her or God. I did not follow this time and my answer is the straight and narrow.
My prayer is for Revelations. Guidance. Marriage. These three I give, live and recieve from Jesus Christ alone. I want to know what God has for me. My life I will live from here forward devoted to HIM no matter what comes. I am married to HIM now.
Pray for my strength to make it to where I need to be in HIM. For HIS guidance to be all I can be in HIM. Pray for HIS blessings in my new life to come and on the Revelations that are forthcoming.
Thank you all,
God bless..]

Re: Prayer for the life to come...
Scotty, I will be lifting you up in prayer. And pray that your wife finds peace. It took me a long time to do it. And of course it still haunts me at times. But God is faithful!!!!!!

Re: Prayer for the life to come...
This has got to be hard, Scotty. I wonder if there is some middle ground. Maybe if you asked her what she meant by her or God? Obviously, you can't leave God, but I wonder if there are things you could do to shift your priorities a bit. It seems she feels she is competing for your love somehow and perhaps with the church (NOT GOD). If you can still love and serve God, but shift your priorities so she doesn't feel she is competing, maybe that would help. I am not trying to tell you what to do, because I don't know your whole situation, but I hope maybe this can help a little.
