PRAYER REQUEST

My ex hubby...the one who decided to leave me 9 months ago and divorced me 5 months ago, decided to come home last night. (please see my profile update dated 8/2/05) My boss asked me earlier why he's (my exhubby-Joe) been coming around more often and asked if it was a good thing and I said it's a good thing but it's also a bad thing. It's a good thing because it's good, but it's a bad thing because I don't want to. We both laughed because I confused him and he asked if there was anything he could do for me...all I said was PRAYER. I need lots of it. Please pray for us. I seriously feel that I don't want him back but my son needs his father. I've been dating someone who's made me realize that real love does exist. I'm not talking about the love my husband used to give me...i.e. if you're good, I'll kiss you. if you're good, I'll take you out...no, not that kind of love. He given me the most pure and sincere love I've ever received from the opposite sex. He's the man I kept praying to God for and when he did come I praised HIM and gave thanks! My son told me this morning that he doesn't feel comfortable with his daddy around us. That he prefers my boyfriend (his name is Lazaro) because he likes him very much. I never thought my son would say that. Never in a million years. His daddy had or ahs a girlfriend. My brother told me this morning that things might of not gone well on that side and that's why he's back. I don't know. I did ask Joe but he said the reason he's back is because he wants us (his family) back. My boyfriend told me last night that everyone deserves a second chance. For me to give that second chance to my exhubby and because he LOVES me he wants the BEST for me. Is my exhubby really the best for me?? Only God knows. I need prayer my brothers and sisters. I'm very confused and really want for God to guide my thoughts and feelings. THANK YOU all for listening and for your prayers, Letty P.S.Have a blessed holiday

Letty, You have been through a lot with your ex-husband. I sure don't know what is best for you and your son or what the Lord would have you do. But one thing that came to my mind is that this man who divorced you should not be able to just walk back like nothing happened. If he wants a second chance he needs to court you again and not just expect you to fall into his arms. Personally I would tell him "you divorced me, we aren't married and you can't just move back in". If he cares enough to court you and try to win you back then you might 'date' him some and see if his behavior stacks up to what he has said. But that is just my thought. I certainly hope you and your son can have the best that the Lord has for you. I know God hates divorce but He does not like adultry either! Blessings, Gina

Letty, Was your ex-husband a Christian and backslid or has he never known the Lord? 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 gives us the guidelines as to how the Lord wants difficulties like this handled. I am speaking from experience...My husband & I got saved in 1985, but in 1990 & 1991 he committed adultery with a woman that he worked with, filed for divorce, made the kids and I move out and said that he didn't love me, never loved me and that we never should have gotten married. He and the other woman were going to get married. To make an extremely L-O-N-G story short...God Healed Les and and our marriage. If you ever want to talk, I am here for you, Letty. As far as knowing what you should do? All I know is to continue to seek that face of God....read His Word and be open to hearing His voice.....and I know you are already doing that! I love you & will be praying for you. My husband and I have a marriage ministry called Repairing the Breach Marriage Ministry, and we will add you to our prayer list! May God continue to bless you & guide you, Sweety! Love, Cindy

My Sweet Letty, You will certainly be in my prayers. You have a heart for God and I know that you will listen to Him - I will pray for you to have wisdom in this situation and to take counsel in God's Word. I know you love God's Word because you bring a golden piece of it to us each day. You are precious! Love ya! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Hi Letty. I am praying for you right now that the Lord will guide you in the way you should go. If I had to answer from my gut, I would say to take it slowly and not just jump back into this relationship. Your son needs a daddy, and I would definitely promote that bond between father and child; however, you do not need to be in an abusive relationship. I would be inclined to meet with a non-biased person for some counseling to see just how sincere your ex is. In the meantime, please know that you are being prayed for by your fellow sisters and brothers in Christ. God bless and keep you. In Him, Peg

Letty,I agree with what was said, God loves family and doesnt like divorce. Just keep praying and God will tell you what needs to be done. Go to counseling and pray,pray,and pray. I will be praying for you too. Be strong.This is a tough one but there is nothing impossible for God. Rosie~

Hi Letty, Just letting you know you are in my prayers. This must be very hard for you. What ever you do don't make any rush decisions. Pray about it, ask The Lord if this comes from Him. Ask Him For a sound, sure answer. The Lord will let you know what His will is for you. I was stubborn and did my will instead of The Lord's. I paid the consequences for it. Once you know what God's will is~ Do his will ~ He know's what is best for us. God be with you and bless you Letty, Annette

Letty, I have to agree with what everyone else has said so far; it's not for us to tell you what you should do, but rather pray what God will make you receptive to His will for you. With the world's perceptive the answer would be simple...so what you want...matter of fact, do them both if you want. But with Christian's these difficult trials can consume us. I believe that God does not agree with divorce...it's right in His word. But I also believe that God allows us to make decisions out of His will. If your marrige to Joe was not according to God's will for your life, I can only think that He would allow the divorce to take place. Think back to when you first married him, did God confirm that Joe was the man He had for you? God Bless, Dawn

Letty, I am praying for you and your family. The best thing to do is just stand still and let God do what He knows best. When you don't know what to do, what to say or where to go just stand and watch God move. He will start opening doors for you and closing doors that shouldn't be opened. You are a God-fearing woman and I know that God wouldn't have you do anything that you shouldn't do. Things happen for a reason and maybe your ex is there to see what he is missing and what he could have continued to have. Maybe God set him in you and your sons life again to show you how to appreciate your new boyfriend more and more for what he has to offer you and your son. Who knows? But whatever reason, know that God doesn't put anything on us that we can't bear. I'm praying for you!!! Your Angellette, JaNae
