  1. I am in a marriage of 29 years. My husband had been through illness and is home on disability. He is diabetic and is on medication but does not follow any of the doctors diet recommendations or take regular sugar readings through the day. Due to back/neck surgeries he does have pain and limitations but in my eyes that is not the problem. He is negative and has been come very self centered. The small little things he can do to help he does not. He sleeps every day in the living room in front of the TV all day long. There are days I come home from work and he is still sleeping on the couch in a dark room when I come home. I work full time to support the family and while I work he does nothing to contribute to help me (emotionally or physically). He does not do any chores at all and all conversations and energy I feel always are centered around him. I have anger and resentment building in side me. I no longer see him as a kind or loving person. It is extremely difficult for me to be loving and kind to him when I feel I am being constantly taking advantage of. He feels that I am abusive to him saying that I yell at him daily. I try to talk but so difficult to get through to him that I easily escalate to a yell when he won’t get up from the couch, help cook dinner, wash a dish, take out garbage or just be awake to greet me from a days work and have conversation. He won’t join me in doing any chore no matter how small and sometimes by time I finish cooking and am sitting down to eat my meal he can finish he meal and get up from the table go back to the couch before I even sit to eat my meal!!! Then I eat alone, clear table alone and do all dishes etc alone. So I feel when he is awake that all I do has to revolves around him. I have to go into his area where he stays (living room couch) but stuff is stacked around him and not comfortable to be around (plus its dark and he doesn’t want to turn light on). I don’t want to sit in the dark every night when i get home. and I certainly don’t want to spend the only hour or two I have to relax watching something he prefers after he has been able to watch any show he wants ALL DAY long. When I don’t pay attention to him he gets angry with me and then I feel anxious and stressed out and we wind up arguing and yelling at each other. We each want attention from each other but I don’t feel like he “gives” anything to me. I’m constantly giving in and doing things for him and with him and I get nothing in return. He has not even slept in the same bed with me for at least 16 years. He prefers the couch so that he can stay up and watch TV all night rather than be near me. Because i would have to cry and beg for him to please turn tv off so that I could sleep – I had to get up for work. It was hard for me to get good night sleep and get up early for work with him watching tv in bedroom until all hours of the morning (2am and later) Right now he wants me to pay attention to him but I am not comfortable with him. Makes my life feel horrible every day in the same house with him. But the longer I don’t pay attention to him the worse his behavior gets and then he gets impatient and angry with kids and everyone is walking on egg shells. If I give in to him, I don’t enjoy myself and feel taken advantage of – he gets what he wants and then i feel like he goes back to doing what he wants and I go back to feeling lonely and being on my own. He will not go to church, he will not go to counselling, he does not want to talk about it…he tells me he doesn’t care anymore but then if I don’t do what he wants or pay attention to him he is not easy to be around. So he only cares that you take care of his needs and what he is saying to me is that he doesn’t care about me, my needs or my happiness or my children’s happiness. Please pray to give me strength to be a kind and loving wife. Please pray that my husband finds some sort of peace and joy in his life so that he can enjoy and be loving to me and my children. Please pray that God gives me strength to grow, learn and endure what lies ahead. I am struggling so much to be married to a person that I don’t like anymore. The most important qualities in a person to me are to be kind, loving and generous towards others. I don’t see that at all in him….and the worst part is that because I’m around that type of behavior all the time I feel so angry all the time I feel I’m being robbed of the joy of being able to do things and be kind to others…..when i am so angry all the time there is no room for joy in my life. I miss that very much. Please pray for me to be better and feel better.

    • Father God, no matter what the situation is, we know that You can turn it round for the people involved and also for Your glory. I ask Lord that You would intervene in this couples lives and bring about a positive change. We pray for strength Lord and a change of hearts. Thankyou Lord for Your Love and mercy,. Amen in the name of Jesus

    • Hi Nancy,
      Liking someone is not our choice. You either do or your don’t. Loving someone is a choice. With all your struggles, you are making a choice to love.
      Even though it’s not “fair”, ask God to change you first. YOU must bring God’s Spirit to you home. It’s not magic, it’s accepting God’s will.
      It’s not easy either. But it is definitely LOVE.
      I’m so sorry to hear of your troubles. I will be praying for you and your family!

  2. I interviewed for a job as Administrative Assistant 3 with LSUHSC School of Dentistry the other day and I pray that you will pray with me for success in receiving the job; my confidence and faith is high but know that further prayer is required for the outcome I am anxious for. Please pray with me that this position has already been granted to me and indeed set up by our Lord himself and is His will. I want his will, not mine but am hoping to find out very soon that my wish is His will. If not, that He has a better plan for me that will reveal it self soon. Please pray for my husband in this as well; he too is confident that this one has been chosen for me by our Lord but selfishly do not want him to be disappointed or doubt for even a second that God will never let us down. 

    I pray that our Lord abundantly blesses each of you for your fellowship in this request and for His Glory alone. Many thanks! In Him, Paula Harrell

  3. Once again I request your prayers to be hired as soon as possible, especially for the Admin Assistant 3 position with the LSU School of Dentistry. If not that position, an equal or better position preferably as a civil servant with the state of Louisiana. Also, please continue to pray for my faith and patience and for my husband as well. Thank you in advance for agreeing with us in prayer for this; many blessings to you all. In Jesus’ name we pray!

  4. Prayers for my daughter JBs medical problems. I pray the lord heal her. I pray for RM praying for a stronger relationship. Please clear his mind. I command all evil and evil doers in Jesus name out of his life and home I command evil doers to never return in Christ Jesus name Amen

  5. Prayers for my finances, and restoration of my health so that I may find a job. I don’t know if working is what I need to be doing. But bless my grand daughter that I raised from a baby and let God keep her and protect and keep her in perfect peace. She’s going thru a lot right now, I pray that the lord let her come back to me, if it is his holy will.
