First of all, I know that most of you all here know that I am protestant, but I do believe we are all christians and I wanted some praying christians and I know some of you here are some of the Godliest praying people I know.

Today I recieved my third phone call in three days about people I know that their marriages are ending. I am a divorced person and as most know remarried to a Catholic. I know that it is not Gods will at all for a marriage to end and my soul aches for these poor people and their families. I mean divorce is not just an ending to two people, it does truly affect two whole families and also friends. Anyway, the first couple I found out about have been married for about 9 years, have two kids and were actual worship leaders at a local church. He is one of the most talented men I know and has a God given talent to ministry and has given it up now because of the failure in his marriage. The second couple, she left him probably about 6-8 months ago. He was a minister of a church in Illinois. She started having an affair and so he lost his church and we were informed Sunday at church that he had a heart attack and died. He was only 45 years of age. He had three children. The third couple I just found out today about, have been married for 21 years and he just all of the sudden left. They have two children. Not sure what went wrong and really the details don’t matter to me, as that is not what is important.

Anyway, I am so upset. I feel this is an attack by evil on the family. I think satan knows if he can break the bonds of marriage and a family that he can do a lot. I think the he knows that the family is the church. When I say church, I am not meaning a religion over the door, I am meaning christians…the protestants and Catholics alike. So if he can break up the family, then he is taking down the church, the people of God. Lord have mercy.

Anyway, just please pray with me for these familes. Of course we will be burying Tony (the one who passed away) tomorrow at 2:00 and as far as his marriage goes, it is over. But I just want his seperated wife remembered. She obviously needs a lot of prayer and will probably be going through a lot of guilt and etc. in the next few months. I don’t think God expects us to stay this way, but sometimes as humans we put ourselves through more. Gosh, I could go on and on. I have just really been on edge the last three days about this. Makes me wonder if anybodys marriage is safe without a lot of guarding and prayer. So please join with me to pray for this matter, as I said, I know so many of you are wonderful praying people and I have grown to respect so great.
 
Prayers definitely going up from me for all of your friends. Divorce is just so heartbreaking. My dd had a friend spend the night this weekend and while her friend was here she was upset and talking about how her mommy and daddy were getting a divorce and daddy had to move away and she missed him. It was really heartbreaking! She’s only a first-grader!

Satan is definitely hard at work and it seems like he’s winning right now but he won’t have the upper hand for long, that’s for sure. His fun will come to an end and let’s pray that the destruction of the family comes to an abrupt end and that we all can start healing.
 
Me too. And will be praying for these couples in these and so many tragic marriage break-ups.
 
To the ones of you who have responded so far and are praying…thank you so much…I can not express what this means to me. Maybe us all working together in prayer, we can give satan a black eye! :blackeye: and let him know that we as christians are not going to stand beside and continue to let him work in our homes. God Bless You All!
 
Praying for all those you listed…

I also feel your pain in regards to Christian Unity. As a former protestant I hope to begin writing a book in the near future on that very topic. There are many signs that Christ is working in the lives and churches seeking to do His will. I believe we must continually pray and work towards this goal if we are to stand against the evils at hand.

Marriage has been under attack for quite some time now and there are bodies littered everywhere. Praying.
