My Prayer for You

Dear God,
I pray for my husband today. I pray for him like I have prayed for him every other day during this nightmare we are going through. I pray that you would speak to him, show him that you love him and that your heart aches for him even more than mine does. Wrap your love and forgiveness around him and encamp angels around him. Fight off the enemy for him. Pull him out of this quicksand that he is sinking so fast in. Pull him out and set him on a high rock to stay. Pull the blinders from his eye. Let him see and feel all of the love that we have for him. Let him feel the forgiveness we want to bathe him in. I can only feel the pain that I am going through, but I am sure that the pain he is feeling, even if he is suppressing it, is so much more and deeper than even I can imagine. Throughout this entire ordeal, I have been walking by faith and trying with all of my heart to just trust God and his plan for me. I pray that you would find that little piece of faith to just take that step back towards me and our marriage. It isn't easy, but I pray that you would have a little courage and faith to say I will try. I pray and pray and pray for you, My Benny. I pray that your heart would be mended and that you would give our marriage the chance it deserves. God knows your hurt. God knows my hurt and he is ready to start the healing process if only you would let him. Let your guard down for just one minute. Let yourself feel the emotions you are tyring so desperately to hide. Let God back in your life and just watch what he can and will do. Philippians 1:6 says "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." That is your scripture. He has begun a good work, not a bad work in you, and he wants to see it carried out. He wants to see you reach your full potential in him. He loves you and He needs you. I pray and pray and pray for you my husband. I am your wife and I blanket you in my prayers. God, please heal my marriage. Heal all of the hurt and rejection and failure on both of our parts. Please soften my husbands heart towards me. Soften his heart towards you. You can do anything and I am putting my marriage in your hands to mend and repair it without scars.
Amen.
