A Videogame Addiction Deteriorates Our Marriage Union

[yuna17]

It's always when things get extremely difficult that I come here seekiing prayer & seeking God's blessing on my marriage. My husband's addiction to videogames is an ongoing battle in our marriage. I do not mind it as a hobby, but it consumes him in a very unhealthy way. He has become detached from me and our 9 month old daughter and could care less about his health. I am not looking to play the sympathy card, just state the issues & pray for a revelation in our marriage. I get little to no help with our daughter and no help at all around the house. It's like I'm a single mother... Instead, I am just desperate for my husband's attention. I do not know what I'm doing wrong & I'm at my wit's end. I don't even know what to do anymore, and I am scared of getting to that point where I just don't care what happens. I'm scared of getting to the point where I quit trying.

Lord Jesus, I pray for your unwavering strength & comfort. Guide me during this time. Help me to overcome my hurt & anger so that I can immediately start behaving like a respectful, loving & honoring wife even when I have been emotionally abandoned. Lord, help me to overcome my insecurities. And please Lord, Jesus, help me to stop depending on my husband for happiness. Remove this resentment that grows inside of me at an alarming rate. I fear that I will never be happy & fear that I will find myself in a totally loveless marriage, which would turn our hearts bitter & leave a bad example to our daughter. Lord Jesus, I ask that you will remove this videogame addiction completely from my husband Justin & remove him completely from the desires to play. I pray for divine intervention. I pray for a complete recovery. I pray you will open his eyes & ears to the voice of God & help him to arrange his priorities so that they make YOU proud. I know that as we grow closer to you, we will grow closer together. Help me to grow closer to you & I pray your love would shine through me in a way that speaks to my husband like no other. Lord, I want to honor you in this union we call marriage... Help me to stay strong & not give up. I pray that my husband will honor his vows as well. Help me to overcome my fears, my anger, my emotional pain, stress & loneliness. I don't want to cry anymore. Lord Jesus Christ, help Justin & I to communicate properly & lovingly, respectfully & openly. I am sorry that I fall short of being the child I should be for you. Thank you for being a forgiving God even when we don't deserve it. I love you & I am thankful. Amen

Father,

I lift up this family to you. Forgive them of their sins, wash them in the blood of Jesus, restore them into right standing with you! We renounce all outside ungodly influences over this marriage from family members, associates or previous relationships. All sould ties and cords are broken. I bind the works of the flesh, distraction, distrust, division and discord. The enemy is caught. Satan the Lord rebuke thee. The standard is lifted against any flood the enemy would try to bring into this family's life. Restore this marriage to it's fullness in Christ. This marriage is anointed and every yoke must bow down and be cauterized. I speak life and balance into this union in the name of Jesus! Thank you, Father!

I pray that your husband responds to your wishes and sees what he has in you and your beautiful daughter. There are so many of us who would give anything to have what he has and he is wasting his opportunity. I pray he sees the light and understands you and your daughters true worth.......you both are PRICELESS. Never forget that, EVER. AMEN
