Dear God,
I come before you this morning with a heavy heart. LORD my marriage is in trouble, and has been for some time now. LORD I really need your help because I can’t survive this alone anymore. And I don’t know what else to do.
I am currently having problems in my place of work and with my marriage. My boss is a very nice person, but for some reason he is being unkind to me. I feel as though he is upset with me because I am trying to hold down a job and go to school to better myself as to where I can get another job making more money for my family. My boss is now being very unfair when it comes down to him making the work schedule for the week. He knows how important it is for me to be able to get off my shift on time so that I can get to class on time. He always put me somewhere where it is hard for me to get off the job on time (because other people who take over for the next shift can’t seem to get to work on time, and he won’t do anything about it because they have been there for a very long time). Please pray for me that my boss will stop being unfair towards me a treat me kind like the rest of the employees, because I am one of the many who go to school all day and take on motherhood, and then hold down a full time job with hardly any sleep. And I never lay off the job like others do with crazy excuses.
Now getting to another important matter in my life that I so desperately need your prayers for, my marriage! When my husband and I got married, I took on a big responsibility. My husband had custody of his 3 kids (they are now 9, 11, and 15). But needless to say, most of the time they are the reason for our arguments. Now don’t get me wrong because I love those kids as if they were my own, but my husband is too over protected of them. I thought that when a man marries a woman, she becomes the wife and mother of the home. Well half the time I feel as if I am just there to be the nanny. My husband constantly gets upset with me because I try to set rules in the home and discipline when needed because he won’t. I’m a big fan of disciplining because that’s the way I was brought up by my family (to obey your mother and father). To keep them from getting discipline, he would clean up behind them (such as cleaning up their rooms or whenever they use or remove things they are to pick up and clean up behind themselves, or even little things as take out the trash). Yes, he treats them like babies! He’s always spending time with them and omitting me like he doesn’t want me around them because he’s afraid that they will bond with me and I will take his place. He never acknowledges me in the home or as part of the family. We barely spend any quality time together and there is no communication between us except whenever we argue. To be honest, I feel like my husband owes me a lot of respect and love because he was not all the way open with me from the start. He fail to tell me that I was wife # 4 (had to hear that from the kids’ mother after getting into an argument with her), and he also fail to tell me that our chance of having a child together would never happen because he had himself fixed so he couldn’t produce any more kids (even though he knew how bad I wanted another baby). And even though I wanted to turn and walk away from this marriage because I felt trapped, but I stayed because I love my husband and I feel like God put him in my life for a reason. But going through all of this has somewhat made me into a bitter person (not toward the kids or anything), because I feel like my husband didn’t really want a wife to love, just a wife to help take care of his kids when he can’t be there to do it. And I feel so alone!!!!! I have really been praying for our marriage and that my husband would change and start loving me as his spouse, best friend, companion, and soul mate. I keep trying to remind him that it is not just him and the kids anymore and that he needs to start noticing me as part of the family. Please, pray for me and my family. We so desperately need all the prayers and support we can get.
In Jesus name I pray. AMEN
