Hi,
Please pray Jesus Christ will come soon to save us from these evil times. Pray that I will not hold any pride (in myself), bitterness, anger or even envy in my heart. I really do seek God daily and confess my sins and ask for a clean heart and pure motives. I strive to live a life to be pleasing to Him. I struggle with perfectionism and know it really isn’t possible or the end goal this side of Heaven. I am alone teaching my three children about God. My oldest has accepted Christ as her Savior and the two younger have said they have. I’ve talked at length with them about what it means to ask Jesus into their hearts as Lord and Savior and ask for forgiveness. Please pray all 3 of my young children will indeed listen to the Holy Spirit and be motivated to read their bibles and grow in truth and obedience. Pray I’ll be a mom that knows her limits and numbers my days to have a heart of wisdom, and will always look to God to complete His good works in me. I’m be patient with my children as they grow but firm and decisive to teach them truth.
My husband, he says he is saved and knows Jesus. He is not a gossiper and works really hard and doesn’t cheat. However, he isn’t tithing, he isn’t loving towards me often as Christ commands a man to love his wife. He demands a lot from me and refuses to help me with the simplest of tasks. He behaves as my boss and not my best friend. He is so burdened by his family’s farm that he spends 6 days a week there working 10-14 hour days. He is missing so much of our family time and growth of the kids. He is not a spiritual leader at all. He is super capable to fix anything but rarely finishes a project. We have so much falling apart in our house that he just refuses to finish or touch and won’t allow me to hire any help. The farm is not a blessing to us bc he is overworked and greatly underpaid. It is his idol. Pray that the Lord will free him from this idol and restore a genuine love for God and his wife and kids in him. Pray if it is the will of God, we will move to Israel (his family lineage).
A friend of mine asked why is it that the non christian men are so nice and kind and concerned about us but the godly ones are just rude or mean. I told her this has been my biggest struggle in marriage. My husband’s treatment of me and his kids. He can treat strangers or friends with kindness and love but us, he will go out of his way to be mean to. Pray that men of God will be awakened to be loving, forgiving and servant leaders the way God intends- submitting themselves to Him first. I don’t know why God is deaf to this prayer.
Thank you.
