I feel silly updating in a prayer thread: But thank you so much for the prayers and countless PMs that I have received. I will respond to them eventually. Things are still still very...well, very, right now. Can't describe it. Shock, I guess.
Am with my family for the holiday and will be praying hard over the next week, months.
I don't know any specific prayers other than the prayers for married couples in my prayer book, but any prayer or intercession would be great, and has been already felt. I keep coming back to this thread to read and repeat everyone's prayers. Thank you so much.

I can't even believe I'm posting this here.
I am in a daze.
My marriage is virtually over. I don't want to post details, but this has happened very abruptly. I am in shock. We will be trying to work it out, meet with Father over the next few weeks, but the prognosis does not look good at this point.
I can't even pray right now. I'm trying, but it's not going. Nothing except the Jesus Prayer. So if you could please lift up a prayer for me, my future plans, please do.
And pray for him. He needs help, and since I can't be the one to help him, I really hope God does.
Lord, have mercy!
I'm so sorry to be reading this. Praying for you and this situation. |

Agreed. If you read this Ismi, you've been in my prayers rather frequently. |
