Lord, I come to you today to pray for my family, my 3 young boys Holden, Easton, and Whalen. My wife Nicole has seemingly made up her mind that it is time to move forward with a separation which will lead to an inevitable divorce. We both have agreed that we do not want to battle out child custody in the courts of Virginia, but she insist that divorce is the only answer for her happiness. She has moved out of the family home, taken the boys with her, claims she is no longer in love with me, and wants a divorce. She is now trying to use manipulation tactics and legal threats to remove me from the family home so that her and our 3 boys can move back in. I welcome her back with open arms, but she refuses to come back as long as I am here. She says the sight of me triggers her. We have been married for 5 years now. Live in a beautiful large home, her childhood home, I am so grateful for the gifts that the lord has provided for us, but I feel as though she has lost touch of her morals, beliefs, and gratefulness. I feel our relationship spiraling out of control and at the moment my heart pains so bad. The reality of my current situation feels insurmountable. We both believe that god has risen Jesus from the dead and died for our sins, we were married in the Catholic Church and all 3 of our young boys (ages 5,4,3) have been baptized in the same Catholic Church in which we were married. Her thoughts and judgement seem to very clouded by personal gratification, wealth, greed, desire, and lust. I pray lord that you free my wife of these evil thoughts that have condemned our relationship and are preventing our children to prosper and grow. My faith is strong. Grant me (Joshua) the courage to move forward with grace, remove all anxiety so that I can earn my wife’s trust and love back to rekindle the flame of love that we once had. I pray for my 3 young boys, please guide them through these harsh times. We currently have an open line of communication, but she keeps telling me that her mind has been made up. Lord please bring my family home to me so that we can repair our pains and love again.
-Amen
