Wife needs help but won't get it. Wants divorce instead.

[M. G.]

Please pray for my wife to overcome her problems with anger.  We have been married 10 years and she filed for a divorce the end of August.  I got a lawyer last week to ask the court for a continuance to give more time to prepare for the final hearing, and hopefully for changes to be made in her heart by the Lord. She is furious about me changing the date.  I pray she will give the effort to get the help she herself said she needs to cope with emotional and personality issues.  She went from committing to seek counseling for herself and our marriage, to saying she can't bring herself to do it and would rather divorce.  She says it would just be easier for her to get help if she was alone.  My wife is acting cold and viciously angry, and is telling me to move out. We have two daughters at home.  My oldest daughter seems most affected by how she sees my wife treating me and says she's worried that mommy hates me.  My wife is showing a side of her that defies our faith and the ways of the Lord she loves.  Quoting scripture seems to anger her further. The more I speak of the Lord, the less she does. Sometimes the weight of this breaks me down and I wish I could just fade away to get away from this pain. Other times I wonder if I should just give up and move on. I have faith in the power of God to fix this, but I feel isolated in my own home. Basically, I am.  Pray for my marriage and family?

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
