Wow, I have alot on my plate that could take awhile but the nitty gritty is this... I have five daughters and one son. My oldest daughter who is now fifteen struggles with self-esteem, pride and lack of any father figure. Well, the lack of father is absent in the first four of my daughters lives. Then, my husband now has informed me he has a problem with lust and pornography. I cannot share this with anyone so I am hoping for some encouragement.

The battle is raging, will you engage with me?
My husband has recently surrendered to the ministry. Although he has not been called full time to a church, he has been doing quiet a bit of pulpit supply.
God has gone above and beyond my prayers for my husband to know the Lord. I am amazed at the power of my God. Yet the evil one, although he is defeated in Christ Jesus, has been busy. I have begun to notice distance in my husband. Althouh he does attend our home church reguarly, he has been distracted from prayer and Bible study. It seem to be getting worse. He has even begun to turn away offers from churchs for him to come preach. He says "I have not been in God's word and I am not going to cram, like for a test, for a message".
At this time, he is the sole provider for our family. (he has a job outside of ministry) I know that he carries a great burden and his time is more limited than mine. But I have begun to notice more time for TV and leasure activity.
This situation has begun to cause friction between him and I. Even though I have tried to be a encourager for him, he seem to resent me. I am begining to notice some of the "old self" coming out in him. In his anger he has said things like, "Your not my Holy Spirit" and "It's hard to be around you when your up all the time, because I am so down".
I have been praying diligently for him. It is my prayer that Jesus become his all consuming passion, that he would grow to love the Lord with all that he is, that God would give him wisdom and knowlege, and would place godly people around him, that his heart and mind would be guarded. I have also been praying agaisnt the power of the dark.
We do have children that are looking to us as their example. I have known two men in my husband; the old one full of rage, anger and misery and the beautiful new creation in Christ Jesus. I will do all that I can within my power in Christ Jesus to engage the enemy in this battle.
It is Satan's desire to tear apart families and to tear down the good work God has begun in us. My husband is on the front line of the attack and he is really getting beat up. Will you pray with me, my sisters in Christ.
This is my first time to submit a request for intercessory prayer, although I have visited your site many times before. I have been praying over this situation for a long time now and I know the Lord hears and is working. As I was again petitioning the Lord God, he laid it on my heart to have others join me in prayer for my husband. Will you engage with me in battle?!?!!!!
To God be the glory!

Ashamed
I am searching for woman of faith. I need words of God that will encourage me and begin to direct me towards the light.I have been a sinner my whole life. I have always thrown myself to men, and allowed them to do whatever they wanted with me because I thought that's all I had to offer. I have always hated everything about me (inside and outside).
I ended a 17 year abusive marriage, and just ended a 2 1/2 year affair with a married man, not by my choice. But, somehow God has come into my head and into my life and told me that I have one more chance to get my life in order with Him.I am struggling with this affair addicition. I am struggling with being a single sole financial provider for 3 kids. I am struggling with my emotions and everything else in my life. I need help!
I want to repent my affair, and I don't know, I don't feel remorse in my heart - how awful does that sound. I want to repent of my sins and the life style I have lived. For the first time in my life, I want to be a "true" child of God. I want to be an honorable woman and mom. I want to honor myself. I don't know how to begin the repent process and begin a walk with God. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I MUST DO. Will God listen to me even though I have lust in my heart? I want to change - I really do! HELP ME PLEASE.
Sincerely,
Ashamed

Power of Prayer
Father, I find it difficult that in my church, not many people are interested in prayer or Bible study. I ask that you will give me the right attitude, the right words, to encourage people to attend the ladies quiet day on the power of prayer. I ask that all those who attend will have their eyes and ears opened to draw nearer to yourself. We pray for the Rev Elizabeth as she leads this day on 1 July 2006.
Amen
Amen
The Enemy Set Up A Huge Temptaion
Dear Friends, Thank you that I can come and get some encouragement. First of all my husband and I have 7 precious children. Two in heaven and 5 here on earth, Ages 11, 14, 27 29 30 and 33. We had such a fun time when the older ones were at home. They are all Christians. The world has attacked the ones that have left the home and are married. We are a praying momma and daddy and even though it looks like the enemy is winning we will not give up.
The question that I have I will explain at the end of my explaining. 3 1/2 years ago our youngest son's wife was taken captive by the enemy. We realize the battle and have not given up on praying for her. 2 weeks before the enemy set up a huge temptaion she and I were getting close. She wrote an email that was talking about the love for her and our son's two children and her love for our son. At the time she and her momma were going and working out. Her mother was having an affair and got her daughter into one also. Our daughter in law put on a whole different personality and starting living in a very weird way. Our son sat at home waiting for her to come home at night after she would be out at bars. We do know that this is a huge spritual battle that we are fighting in prayer on behalf ouf our precious daught in law. We love her and pray for her return. It looks impossible, but the Lord has given us unreserved love for her.
Anyway in the process our son has gotten lots of council from some of his Christian friends that even though they are not divorced that he can date other women until their divorce goes final. She has decided to divorce our son but has to use the insurance for a time.
The question we have is. Our son is still married in our eyes. Even if he is waiting for a divorce that she is getting it has not happened yet. We were having my husband's birthday and our son wanted to bring his girlfriend to the party. He still has two sisters that are younger and then we also have 7 grandchildren who are under the age of 7. Two of them being his that would also be watching at the birthday party. We asked him to please not bring her and he got upset and didn't show up. The girlfriend has just come to Christ and doesn't understand the gospels as of yet. Talk about a soap opera. Anyway. What do you all think.
Our daughters are having a real hard time and still pray faithfully for the wife's freedom to beable to do right. It is very hard for them. Any encouragement would be helpful. We have explained to our son the reason's for our stand and scripture that we stand on. He understands that, but just disagrees with us.
His church is big and doesn't know what his situation is. He brings his girlfriend to church and 2 weeks ago she got baptised. We have not talked with her giving our son time to let her know what we believe. She has a little girls also that is 3. Talk about one of the hardest things we have gone through. thank you so much for your help.
My husband and I have helped many families with broken hearts. We just need some encouragement from some others now.
