Please pray that I may find patience with my father in law. It has finally come to light that he has in fact been manipulating my wife and is pressuring her into divorcing me even though she does not want to divorce. He has never liked me even before he met me. He is the type of person that will hide behind his religious beliefs but will not practice them at all - he claims he wants our children to grow up knowing the comfort of familial love, yet he is doing everything in his power to convince my wife she should divorce me.

Please pray that I have the patience to hold my tongue. Please pray that I allow God to lead me and to not rush into action when he uses judgmental actions and brings up topics from my past to spread distrust about me to my wife’s family and attempts to turn my children from me.

Please pray that I will be able to remain strong and patient in the face of this adversity. I knew this day would appear soon. I just didn’t know it would be as bad as this.

Thank you and as always God bless you.
 
A prayer for patience:

O God, Who by the Passion and Death of Thine Only-begotten Son didst crush the pride of our enemy the devil; grant, we beseech Thee, that we may worthily recall those things which in His tender love He bore for us; and thus following His example may patiently endure all our adversities. Amen.

Almighty God, unto Whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name: through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

Amen.
 
Dear Lord, I join my prayers with those of your servant David, and his CAF community, humbly requesting your aid for our brother. All good things come from you Lord; patience is one of the good things you teach us. May David accept You as a model of patience. As he learns to trust in Your patient love, may he come to love patiently himself. May his patience serve to soften the hearts of those he meets, so that they will be able to more fully open themselves to Your love, and, in turn become more patient and loving. All to Your glory Lord! Amen.
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen***
 
May Our Lord Jesus Christ living in you be your patience!

Jesus and Mary, be with him with the graces he needs to withstand this battle. May Your Wisdom and Truth strongly be in him. Bless this marriage with many graces!

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Rebuke him O God, we humbly pray
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, cast into hell satan
and all the other evil spirits who prowl around the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Blessed Mother Mary, Pray for us!
 
God listens to the prayers of His faithful children. Once every month or so I speak with an old friend of mine from high school who has become a mutual friend of my wife and I. She has since converted to Judaism but we both share a faith in God and she and her husband know about my current situation. She gave me this advice over Internet chat, and really, I was literally astounded, as though it had come from God Himself:

“David, stop cursing this man in your heart and start blessing him with your mouth!”

I have to begin a deep prayer to completely give up control of this entire situation and commit it to God’s hands to let His will be done. I have to begin a deep prayer to allow God to cleanse the pain and anger from my heart and allow the mercy of Christ to heal me so that I may only grow forward in Grace.

Brothers and Sisters I am in tremendous pain and confusion but these are the things that absolutely need to be done. I ask that you pray with me. Thank you and God bless.
 
Lord God, please bless daviddewar with Your patience and your understanding. Give him peace and understanding… Take away the hurt, the anger, the pain, and the resentment in his heart and replace it with love and mercy. St. Michael, pray for him. AMEN.

When we trust the Lord all things are possible! And we don’t have to feel good as we pray for others, but to commit them to the Lord and allow Him to bestow His grace on you and the one you are praying for.

May the Lord help us all do this!
