		<description>Hello, my name is Denise.  Though I know your ministry is overwhelmed with prayer requests and have little time to read long emails and indebt stories or detailed personal histories in regards to prayer requests, I am praying that someone will receive my request and take the time to read it and pray for me in my areas of need.  If not, then I know that God will read it and this will be my way of confessing and asking God for his hand in my situation.  I am in a very horrible place in my life right now.  I was married for 12 years, separated maybe 7 out of the 12 years but I fought for my marriage.  My husband left me several times for different women and I would pray for reconciliation every time, and God would honor my request and my husband would return home but only to be short-lived.  2 years ago, my husband met a women he fell in love with and decided to leave me for good for her.  This was a detrimental time in my life and I didn't see how God would allow this to happen to me once again after praying and fasting for a whole year while my husband had left 2 years prior to this taking place.  God brought me through this time and I decided to move on with my life.  I am going through a divorce now though we've been separated since October 2005,  I recently decided to apply for a divorce because I had the desire to be with another man.  This man's name is Eric and he too, is also married, and has been for the past 18 years.  Eric and I were friends at work, in fact at one time he was my supervisor.  Eric and I in the past have confided one to another about our home matters, I know that he  has had previous affairs with other women on the job and that he has had problems at home for the past several years.  Eric approached me and told me of his interest in having a relationship with me.  He told me that he had already made up his mind to leave his wife but that he was trying to find a way to do it without hurting the children.  Being that I knew a bit of Eric's history, I trusted what he was saying was true.  Eric is well respected on the job and is pretty much looked up to in our unit.  He is looked at as a family man and has had one of the longest lasting marriages (especially in our field) in the agency.  Eric filed for a divorce after a couple of months of us living together and I then followed with filing for a divorce.  Eric and I both knew that we were living in sin and that we would not be blessed if we didn't do things the right way.  We knew this truth but continued to live with oneanother, attending church together, praying together, praying for one another, as well as for our soon-to-be ex-spouses.  I believed Eric was completed serious about moving on with his life and beginning a life with me.  Both of our ex-spouses were aware of the situation, though I knew that his wife did not want a divorce but was very angry with him.  I knew she was praying for reconcilitation and praying for her husband to return home.  Periodically, when times got tough with Eric and the divorce I would ask him if he was having a change of mind or if he thought he was doing the right thing.  He was always ademeant with me that there was no going back.  I believed Eric was telling me the truth.  I give you this background only to bring you up to this point and my reason for writing.  This situation began in July of 2007 and has now peaked downhill.  I have been praying for God to intervene because for the past week, I've been feeling like something was not right.  Eric has not been coming home and I found him to be spending alot more time back in his ex-family home.  I prayed that if it was not God's will for Eric and I to be together that he would grant a reconciliation to Eric and his wife and that he would somehow comfort me and help me to get through this tough time.  Eric lied to me yesterday about going out of town with his brother just to get away.  I have confirmed that Eric has taken his wife and children on vacation for Memorial Day.  I have been toiling and tossing with pain and hurt and the feeling of betrayal.  I know that I prayed for God's intervention but a part of me wants to know that he's coming back to me.  I feel ashamed to be in this situation, I am so embarassed of the outcome to which my csircumstances took.  I tried to trick myself into believing that maybe God sent Eric to me because we were both unhappy in our marriages and that he would bless us with eachother.  I told myself that even though the bible does not support such behavior, that I could not put God in a box.  That maybe he would do this for us.  Maybe he would honor our commitment to oneanother and when we got married, then he would bless us and we could move on with God in our midst.  I am indeed a fool for believing such things.  I am left here in such pain and torment, feeling abandoned and simply worthless.  When I read God's word, I don't see that God make provisions for a wife who is thrown away to move forward and remarry, and have a blessed marriage.  I don't read this anywhere.  Are my dreams and desires of being a virtious women of God over because my husband chose to leave?  What will God honor?  Do you think that God will bless me with a man that can be my head, that is known throughout the gates, an honest and trustworthy man of God? Am I even worthy to receive such a man due to my past decisions and indescetions?  Please pray for God to comfort me in my time of need and despair.</description>

		<description>I think the two things that have made the most sense to me, in my life, when ya don't feel at the top of your game, are these: Don't be guided by fear and worrying about not being in control is not my job.
   Keep Tha Faith even it it means taking it one minute at a time. I believe that the one thing we all say to ourselves at least once in our lives is "Gee, if I only knew what I knew now when I was there, back then. I think fear and loneliness are the toughest feelings to handle. They are our feelings though, so ya don't have to feel that way. Well, not being able to take back a typo is pretty tough too!! (what will they all think...oh my...whoops, there I go feeling scared and out of control again)...I have to share this with you all ok??!! The peeps that lurk and linger in and out of our lives that our filled with jealousy and well, more jealousy (which is really fear...everything that is negative is fear based), all have a look on their faces like they have gone to the bathroom in a long time (number two). I'm sorry, but that's how they look to me. They want to bring you down because of some past thing that you have done. some past thing that they think you have done or heard in gossip that you have done or because you are happy or pretty or in a goofy and fun mood. All they are doing is wanting you to act the same way they do when their world is upside down or better yet, when there world WAS upside down and they haven't been able to forgive themselves for something they did so they can't figure out why you can feel acceptance and happiness when they know (or they think they know) that you messed up once too...( oh wow that's fear again huh.!!) Here's a situation that happened to me...These people knew of something that involved me but I was the last to know and didn't know there was more to the story (news at five...lol). So they are all talking down to me and others crying sharing things that happened to them (over a period of many years) and blah blah blah but I didn't know why they were acting like that. Peeps wouldn't have anything to do with me because they knew something and for some reason. it made them feel out of control because I never said word one about it (because I didn't know) but isn't that what forgiveness is???..Forgiving ourselves and moving on like it never happened?? As I look back, it was a great lesson to me. For one, I found out who my friends were  and it also showed me that sometime silence is best...silence and a smile because after all, it isn't my job to control everything. It's almost humorous how peeps have an ego trip about "well look what happened to me..My worst event is better than yer worst event"...shessh... Those naysayers are gonna be in for a rude awakening when they die because someone else's life is flash in front of their eyes when they die, instead of their own. May God bless all of you real good or really good!!!
PS...that "thing" that everyone heard about... a girl I was involved with had a child and I moved far away (she was pregnant before I left but didn't tell me. I tried to see her before I left but she wouldn't see me...she even had some guy answer the phone and do her talking for her. I thought, "oh well, she's with some guy no big deal. She had a child but told everyone but me...Why did she tell everyone but me. Why didnt my friends tell me (instead of making late night calls crying that their biggest burden was that they couldn't hit a curveball). I found out 25 years later and someone said, "Hey you were moving and doing your thing. she didnt wanna hold you back"...LOLOLOL...oh yea then why did she tell everyone but me. She knew I'd find out. I feel sad sometimes but what a great lesson..and ya know what??? What if the kid wasn't mine? There were no blood tests or anything. I tracked her family down and spoke with her Mom (she said her daughter didnt have any children..now talk about embarassing...she said it would be nice to know if she had a grandchild...I mean I called like I knew that the girl kept the child, but she didn't and I wish someone would have said something to me. 25 years and nobody ever said anything to me. I was really popular, everybody liked me (although I didn't know that either), but ya know in the movies how there is a character yer jealous of because he always gets the girls or she's good looking or whatever petty resentment comes into our minds, well maybe they just wanted me to fail and said nothing because of their own jealousies. WE are all human and ya gotta admit sometimes when certain peeps get theirs, like in the movies, you kinda like it...lol... You can't control the past. There are no such things as time machines (Although I just did traffic school. The cop asked me "Do you know why I stopped you??" I said yea I was speedin' BUT I was trying to get going fast enough to get sent back 25 years...like a time machine..." He didn't buy it. I hope everyone finds love in their heart and their lives every single day and I hope the balances out the things that aren't so loving. The ex drinkers and drug abusers have a saying HALT...never get to Hungry, too Angry, too Lonely and too Tired. Works for me. It turns out when I'm having a not so loving moment that one of those (or all...lol) is involved in my life. Patty...two words...."ROAD TRIP!!!!"...Hey thanks for letting me share. Sweet sleeps tonight everyone!! Strength and Light to you all!!!</description>

		<description>Hello, 
My name is Patty to most. I am feeling very discouraged right now. I have a past history that continues to haunt me and try to keep me from having a quality of life I believe God wants me to have. Please pray for Divine intervention for me. I am desperate and not sure where else to turn for help. I may soon be living in my car at the age of 50. I live in a christian based home in Oregon. I've been here for a year and thought I was doing well. May God bless all of you that read this. Thank you for your time. :0)</description>

		<description>Dear Prayer team:
 
     My prayer is for my husband who seems to find something new to get into weekly... if its not drinking, its drugs, if its not drugs , it is women.  I can't handle much more.  It's like abuse.  I need a place to be that is safe.  This is a living nightmare and I seek God's refuge.

     Thank you.  P.s. my husband calls himself a born-again christian. ?????????
